Meghan Markle has been sharing a variety of incredibly stylish outfit pictures on Instagram lately, and we have been enjoying taking a glimpse into her heatwave-ready wardrobe.

Favouring summery styles in neutral creams and lemon yellow, the Duchess of Sussex's laid-back California aesthetic is currently front and centre.

Montecito is currently experiencing a heatwave, and Meghan took full advantage of the sun-drenched weather, donning a beautiful, weather-appropriate dress that she shared on her lifestyle brand, As Ever's Instagram account.

Meghan's new, throw-on style dress was by US brand Brochu Walker. Known as the 'Havana', it was designed in a light-reflecting, cool ivory and featured an oversized skirt and delicate puff sleeves. Priced at £260, it's the ideal summer style staple. Surprisingly, Prince Harry's wife also donned a pair of Hunter wellies as she filmed some content for her social media platform, despite the heat.

Princess Kate's wellingtons

Wellington boots are an outdoor must-have, particularly in cold weather. They offer insulation, comfort and also grip in woodland areas, especially. Meghan's sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, is a huge fan of the humble wellington boot. It's the one item that the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis pulls off with major aplomb. As a fashion editor who has been writing about style for over fifteen years, I think the way she styles the rain essentials is impressive.

Wellingtons are not known for their fashion flair. They are mainly touted as durable items of clothing during rainy periods. But somehow, Prince William's wife makes them look like a fashion statement. They cement her incredible country wardrobe, which is brimming with outdoor jackets, sumptuous scarves and slim-fitting trousers in a myriad of tonal greens and browns.

What Wellington boots does the Princess of Wales wear?

Although Kate has been spotted in Hunter wellies just like Meghan before, her go-to brand is Le Chameau's 'Vierzonord Neoprene Lined Wellington Boot', which costs £220.

It's easy to see why she opts for this style and brand; they've been around since the 1920s and were the very first bootmaker to use a zipper on a rubber boot. Like many items in Kate's wardrobe, they are classic, not trend-led or designed, so they will last for many years to come.
