After cheering on pal Serena Williams at Wimbledon over the weekend alongside sister-in-law Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Sussex was back to business today while stepping out with Prince Harry at an exhibition marking the centenary of the birth of Nelson Mandela in London. Meghan looked sophisticated and chic in a blush pink sleeveless trench dress by Canadian label NONIE, accessorized with neutral heels, stud earrings and a Mulberry clutch.

What we love most about Meghan’s look is how perfectly transitional her choice of a classic trench-style dress is. In warmer weather, a trench dress is an easy piece to throw on with heels and look instantly polished (just like Meghan!) while in colder months it makes for a fantastic layering piece – try wearing it open over a sweater and jeans with knee-high boots. Regardless of how you style it, a trench dress is a wardrobe staple, which is why we’ve gone ahead and rounded up 9 of our favorite dresses that will take you from now through fall and beyond in royal style.
