Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has long been a style icon, solidifying herself as the poster child of classic, timeless elegance. Her royal appearances garnered endless attention for seamlessly blending the refined, sophisticated styling required by her title with a modern, fresh twist. As actress Mindy Kaling would put it, Markle has always brought a “lewk” that is both quintessentially professional yet effortlessly infused with a sprinkle of her SoCal roots.
Now, with her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan, Markle’s style, and ways to pass her time are in the spotlight once again, sparking conversations about a fresh take on laid back, yet whimsical fashion that’s quickly being coined the “granny era.”
The Granny Era: A Fashion Revival
The “granny era” trend is a nostalgic yet contemporary revival of vintage-inspired fashion, embracing elements traditionally associated with older generations—think cosy cardigans, tailored trousers, and delicate florals—but with a modern twist. The style is about celebrating comfort and timeless elegance while making it accessible for today’s more casual and individualistic fashion sensibilities.
This isn’t about fully dressing in past decades’ fashion; it’s about blending vintage pieces into a wardrobe that feels fresh and relevant today. Soft textures, relaxed silhouettes, and refined details are the cornerstone of the granny chic look.

Each outfit is curated to evoke a sense of nostalgia, with a heavy emphasis on comfort, simplicity, and a certain air of sophistication that recalls fashion from the past.
Her style choices have prompted many to question where they can find these pieces—more accurately, they’re asking for links to replicate Markle’s perfect mix of casual elegance and chic comfort.
