This may sound a bit odd, but I’ve been tracking Meghan Markle’s choice of button-up shirts for quite some time. From the Misha Noonoo “Husband” shirt to her love of the ever-classic (and kind of perfect) silhouettes offered by Frank & Eileen, the button-up is one of her signature styles—and she’s clearly got quite the variety in her closet. That’s what led me to immediately notice Meghan sporting a brand-new version from Ralph Lauren (called the Adrien Relaxed Fit Linen-Blend Shirt, now on sale for $620) when teaser clips of her upcoming interview on CBS began to surface. In mauve, it feels interesting and unique, not to mention flattering and fall-ready.

It’s also her signature style

A bit about the interview: Alongside her husband Prince Harry, Meghan is set to speak with Jane Pauley this weekend on CBS This Morning where they’ll discuss a new program supporting parents of children impacted by online harm and abuse. (It also marks the first joint sit-down for the couple in quite some time.)
That’s where the choice to wear a button-up comes in: It’s elegant and effortless, but much as like whenever Princess Diana chose to wear it, it signals a return to work. Of course, Meghan has worn the silhouette for a variety of occasions ranging from the Invictus Games to Wimbledon to lunch with Gloria Steinem. If nothing else, this only serves to demonstrate the shirt’s versatility. (Also, I’d be remiss if I didn’t nod to her matching mauve trousers, also from Ralph Lauren, $1,090; $760.)
So, where can you snag a similar version? Her button-up from Ralph Lauren is already selling out fast. Still, I found a few alternative styles, each in a similar mauve hue.
1. Ralph Lauren Collection Adrien Relaxed Fit Linen Shirt
Ralph Lauren
This is the exact style worn by Meghan. In mauve, it’s classic and autumnal.
2. Everlane Silky Cotton Relaxed Shirt
Everlane
This option is more affordable, but gives off the same vibe—this time, in dusty rose.
3. Frank & Eileen Relaxed Button-Up Shirt
Frank & Eileen
With this style, the mauve hue is a bit richer and the shirt more relaxed, but it still feels like the perfect transitional option—and from a brand that’s already Meghan-approved.
