Meghan Markle continues to wear this shoe that enhances her outfit

When I was younger, the phrase “don’t repeat every outfit” wasn’t something that ran through my head when choosing clothes. Now that I’m in my mid-20s, I’ve realized that the chicest thing to do is stick to your wardrobe basics and wear them over and over again – and today’s style icons seem to agree. Take Meghan Markle, for example; not only has she mastered effortless everyday fashion, but she also stays true to tried-and-tested pieces, from her white jeans to her T-strap sandals.

Recently, the Duchess pulled out another favorite piece: her leather Chanel slingback pumps. Not only are the shoes reminiscent of the Chanel slingback pumps Princess Diana wore on a visit to Northwestern (coincidentally, Markle’s alma mater) in the late ’90s, but they’re also the perfect shoe for transitioning into fall.

Markle has worn this cap-toe style many times; she was spotted wearing a similar version in June and August of last year. This time, she paired it with cropped black pants, a white button-down shirt, and a brown blazer—an outfit I’m sure I’ll be copying this fall. While Markle’s designer ballet flats are currently out of my budget, I scoured the internet for similar options. To my delight, I found eight nearly identical ballet flats starting at $30.

Meghan Markle-inspired slingback flats

Vionic Petaluma ballet flats

These slingback shoes from Vionic are sleek and combine comfort with style. The podiatrist-approved shoes have a cushioned footbed with arch support and an adjustable slingback strap. Pair them with classic cropped trousers and a button-down like Markle, or take inspiration from style icon Katie Holmes, who often pairs dressy shoes with wide silhouettes. Right now, you can shop these slingback shoes at Nordstrom for 25% off, but select sizes are already sold out, so don’t wait to take advantage of this deal.

Dream Pairs Slingback Shoes

These slingbacks are nearly identical to Markle’s Chanel ballet flats. The only difference? They cost $35 (yes, you read that right). The luxe-looking shoes have a square toe and a tiny 1-inch heel for a subtle lift. One Amazon shopper, who wrote that she’s on her feet all day as a teacher, said these ballet flats are “so comfortable” and “go with almost everything,” while another said she would “100 percent recommend” purchasing them. Sold!

Veronica Beard Cecile leather cap slingback

If you’re looking for a worthwhile bargain, consider these slingbacks from Veronica Beard. The leather shoes will go with almost anything in your closet, and the slightly higher heel allows for a seamless transition from day to night. They come in the same colorway as Markle, but you can also shop eye-catching options, including silver and denim.
