WHY SHE’S DITCHED ROMPERS

-

As A stylish girl about town, there was one look Meghan wore time and time again — the shorts suit: tailored shorts with a fitted blazer, which only a woman with supreme body confidence can pull off.

Meghan’s take on the shorts suit was, in fact, what Americans call a ‘romper’, an all-inone outfit which combined the shorts and shirt, with a matching jacket worn on top.

And her go-to label for chic rompers was Veronica Beard, a U. s. label founded by two sisters- in- law, both called Veronica. It’s behind the £130 blue Boca Button- Down Romper (right) as well as the £88 ‘Wynwood’ shorts (above) she wore on a television chat show in 2016.

Almost as soon as news broke of her relationsh­ip with Prince Harry, however, the shorts suit suddenly disappeare­d. It may be that Meghan, now 36, simply felt she was getting too old to show off quite so much leg. Or perhaps, as a royal, the shorts suit is no longer deemed suitable for a Duchess-to-be.

Given Meghan has shown scant regard for tradition when it comes to royal fashion, it would be no surprise if, one day, the old faithful made a comeback.
