Since the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017, the world has seen Meghan Markle go through a remarkable transformation from Hollywood actress to newly-minted member of the royal family.
Led by her fitted Givenchy wedding dress, Meghan's wardrobe soon showcased her love for all things tailored. She's worn caped dresses, pencil skirts, figure-hugging tops and sharply-cut coats. And, as if right on cue, each of these looks are almost always paired with a pair of sky-high pumps. Yes, Meghan's style is a tried-and-tested combination of fit and elegance.
Yet, since the duchess gave birth to baby Archie back in May, we've started to notice that Meghan's own style has evolved considerably.

Previously, Meghan's usual choice of skirt was the pencil skirt -- she is the one royal that favours tailored separates more than any other member of the royal family -- but since giving birth to baby Archie, Meghan can now be seen embracing a softer skirt shape.
At the recent Wimbledon match, where she watched her good friend Serena Williams play, Meghan arrived in a pressed white shirt tucked into an indigo-blue printed pleated skirt.
This outfit works for two reasons. Firstly the white shirt still shows that Meghan isn't eschewing tailoring altogether. Secondly, the pleated skirt allows her to sit more comfortable, and offers a more flattering silhouette for new mums because it doesn't hug to your skin.
Put these two factors together and you get a look that can be recreated for the office or for when you need to dress up a little more than usual.
