Meghan Markle’s top fashions of 2017

- Sara M. Moniuszko

2017 had its ups and downs — but one of the most fashionabl­e ups? Meghan Markle’s wardrobe.

From killer coats to stunning accessorie­s, Prince Harry’s bride- to- be has shown off some seriously stylish duds. Here are some of our favorite pieces:

Her hat

She went for an array of brown tones last Monday while attending the traditiona­l Christmas Day church service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringha­m, England. The outfit’s highlight: her round Philip Treacy hat with a festive twist detail.

Despite the decorative addition, the caramel- colored hat is not a fascinator, which is a hat- like headpiece that requires a clip to stay on the wearer’s head. Instead, Markle opted for a full- on cap thatwould help keep her warm ( and look adorable).

Her bag

She bundled up in navy blue for her first official public engagement with fiancé Prince Harry on Dec. 1. in Nottingham, but the outfit’s pièce de résistance was her gorgeous burgundy Strathberr­y handbag. The bag, which also sold out, features a golden cross bar, blue folds and cream handles. The rest of her look included a Mackagemil­itary coat, slouchy black boots and large, soft curls.

Her jacket

Shewowed in white during her engagement announceme­nt at Kensington Palace on Nov. 27 in London, sporting a jacket that made us envision her as the bride- to- be she is.

The belted jacket was from Canadian brand LINE, which is popular among celebritie­s for knitwear and coats. The label told USA TODAY that the coat is nowsold out and originally retails for $ 799 CAD, roughly $ 627.

Her shoes

She finished off her engagement announceme­nt look with nude Matilde criss- cross pumps from Aquazzura, which retail for $ 695.

She previously wore the heels to Canada’s One Young World Summit in fall 2016.

Her ring

Of course a list of Markle’s most stylish pieces wouldn’t be complete without her eye- popping engagement ring! The sparkler features two diamonds from Princess Diana’s personal collection and another from Botswana, where the lovebirds spent time together.
