Meghan Markle's Summer Shoe Style - Dress Like A Duchess

Far from wearing closed toed court shoes and pumps on the regular, pre-royal Meghan Markle was fond of modern shoe styles like strappy heels, lace-up stilettos and plenty of casual flats that would be the envy of many dedicated fashionistas. She loved vacationing in fedoras, stripes and plenty of slip-on sandals.

As Meghan is now officially a duchess, she will likely stick to formal footwear but there is no doubt she will infuse her personality into her fashion ensembles with an added dose of cool girl.
