Duchess Meghan’s fashion in Jordan and some affordable alternatives


Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are in Amman, Jordan for a two day humanitarian trip organized by the World Health Organization. We’ve seen Duchess Meghan in both dressy business clothing and in more casual day wear. I wanted to take a look at some of her outfits from this visit. I don’t love everything she’s worn, I don’t wear linen clothing due to how it wrinkles, but her outfits give me styling ideas for how to put together looks. She always looks polished and thoughtful. Thanks to What Meghan Wore for the IDs on some of these clothes, and I’ve found some more affordable alternatives too.

In the top image, taken during Meghan and Harry’s visit to the Za’atari Refugee Camp, Meghan is wearing the Riley Trouser by Jenni Kayne and The Boyfriend Shirt by With Nothing Underneath. Her t-shirt is Zara. I can’t find an exact match for her belt, but Tanner Goods has a similar belt.

Some more affordable alternatives for her white dress shirt include H&M’s oversized cotton shirt and Old Navy’s button down boyfriend shirt. Mango has a similar pair of pants, their cotton wide leg pleated front pants, at a fraction of the cost and Ann Taylor’s pleated wide-leg pants are also quite nice. Her shoes are the Vince Marin boat shoe.

During their roundtable visit earlier in the day, Meghan wore the Veronica Beard Yves Tweed Jacket in Dove White and their Marbeau Wide-Leg Pant.

I couldn’t find any similar tweed jackets for women under $300 but a white jacket is always sharp. H&M has a linen blend blazer for $59 and their gathered sleeve jacket also looks like something Meghan would wear. Bloomingdales has a tweed collarless jacket that looks much more expensive than it is. Options for pants include Uniqlo’s smart wide pants and Quince’s stretch crepe pleated wide leg pants would make versatile wardrobe staples.

In their visit to the rehab center, Meghan is wearing Zara’s wool blend topstitched jacket. Mango Outlet’s turtleneck wool coat is similar.

Yesterday Meghan rewore her Heidi Merrick Marish top in black gauze. More affordable options include Everlane’s oversized gauze shirt, Quince’s organic cotton gauze long sleeve shirt and O’Neill’s Leni relaxed long sleeve top.

    Ohhhh I do so love her styling. She seems to know so well what works for her and also what she likes.

    I used to know what worked for me. Not so much anymore. I think I’m over complicating it honestly.

    Between knowing your colors, are you high or low contrast, AI picking your hairstyle and this whole – use your measurements to figure out your body type but also dress for your archetype and your soft classic or whatever ….

    It shouldn’t be this hard 😂

    I don’t know why I have such a strong visceral dislike of that olive t-shirt with the white shirt over it, but I really hate it. I love everything else, especially that high necked wool coat.

    • MFS says:

      I also hate the olive tee with white shirt. I think it’s because it looks particularly masculine to me—and not in a cool, edgy or androgynous way. (I love it when women go for menswear looks but this is different.)

    • Mtl.ex.pat says:

      I agree re the white shirt over the olive t-shirt. I love the rest of the outfit – but the white is jarring – a cream or beige would’ve been nicer. Everything else I adore!

    • ChillinginDC says:

      No sit with me. I hate it too. LOL. Everything else is great.

    Oh man. I would LOVE articles on fashion from around the world. We are planning a trip to Europe – countries undetermined – and just the idea of being more dressed up / put together while also being in walkable cities is hard!

    Also beauty and fashion tip and hacks.

    I heard that French women use a dry oil after the shower? That southern women use “dusting powder”? Glycolic acid on your underarms? And how do people wear black without looking like death? Also – how do people match blacks or navy’s?? I just want to know everyone’s – I so this. Not like a – I dry brush for 30 minutes every morning and night in my two hour skincare routine.

    But like – every month I do a 24 hour makeover. I use crest strips. Use a color conditioning mask. Exfoliate with blah blah blah. So my heels and my darken my eyebrows. Just all the things even if I have kept up on them.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      I do know from my grandmother that when buying black and navy get the pants and shirt at the same time and use the same designer/company to get a match otherwise don’t just buy separates unless you are ok pairing it with another color or having a mismatched look. I always took her fashion advice because the women was obsessed with paisley prints and somehow always looked perfectly styled.

  4. NoBS Please says:

    It feels like Meghan has underdressed for this trip, and deliberately so. This is obviously not the trip to be stepping out in Balenciaga!

    It looks appropriately dishevelled and grounded.

  5. Hypocrisy says:

    I have been buying Everlane shoes for while now.. I love all the shoes I have from them but had no clue the sell clothing and I love that gauze shirt..

    • Call_Me_AL says:

      I would like an affordable alternative to the velvet pumps she’s wearing while walking down the stairs. Those are beautiful! Such a great picture.

  6. Sandra says:

    I don’t understand why anyone would choose to wear linen.. It always looks disheveled..

    • Blubellah says:

      Because linen is by far more comfortable in hot humid climates. Much more so than cotton.
      Ask me how I know 😌
      And the natural wrinkles are a known acceptable and light casual appeal for warm weather aesthetics.

    • CheekImplant says:

      Obviously you’ve never lived in a hot & humid climate. Linen clothing is essential in that climate and everyone knows that.
      When I lived in Mexico I constantly wore linen clothing. Everyone did.
      The trick for me was to wear a linen cotton blend and use starch when I ironed my freshly laundered linen clothing.
      Your body heat will help the wrinkles fall out throughout the day.
      Also, in that climate, nobody noticed the wrinkles because we were all dressed the same. Wasn’t a big deal.
      Same for when I traveled throughout Central America in my youth.

    • ChillinginDC says:

      You have to. And the wrinkles knock out of it too if you starch it after and hang. Wrinkles fall out throughout the day. You can’t breathe in the Middle East in cotton. It’s just too wet in my opinion.

  7. KC says:

    To answer the linen question: are you not from a hot place? Especially a hot and sweaty place? I’m from the bottom of the bowl of the Ohio River Valley where humans absolutely were not meant to live, and also lived in Washington, D.C. and Durham, N.C. so I have always worn a lot of linen. It’s honestly the only thing I want to wear in summer anymore. I either wear it slightly wrinkled off the clothesline, or I iron it.

    I wanted to get married in a linen dress but my mother went wild over the thought of so many wrinkles. I told her that if I was getting married in summer in NC and she was going to freak out over linen, then she could pay for my silk wedding dress with silk lining because I wasn’t going to sweat it out in polyester. So that’s how I ended up with a luxuriously all silk wedding dress.

    I do like that black top, thanks for sharing some alternatives.
