Meghan Markle rarely puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion and now that we're shopping all of our summer holiday essentials we're looking to the impeccably-dressed Duchess for inspiration.
After she stepped out in a pair of espadrille wedges during her trip to Australia late last year, we knew the timeless heels would be our summer holiday shoe of choice.

She may be known for her designer wardrobe, but the Duchess of Sussex's footwear from renowned Spanish brand Castañer is surprisingly affordable for an investment piece that's ideal for your next beach getaway.
The Carina 80 canvas wedge espadrilles are available at Net-a-Porter for £80 and come in black, as worn by Meghan, as well as other wearable colours like beige and light green.
Made from durable canvas and a style you can wear with floaty dresses and cropped jeans alike, the iconic Spanish shoes are a must-have for your holiday capsule wardrobe.

Meghan's not the only famous fan of Castañer's espadrilles either. Pippa Middleton, Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Hathaway are other stars who have been snapped wearing the heels.
The brand, which has been around since 1927, sells flat espadrilles too and has even collaborated with Missoni for a crochet-knit pair in the Italian label's famous zigzags.
As with every accessory worn by Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, the heeled wedges sell out every summer so you'll want to hurry if you're thinking of getting your hands on a pair for your next beach escape.

The off-the-shoulder dress

There's no better way to show off your holiday tan than with an off-the-shoulder dress just like Kate's sold-out flowy maxi number by Alexander McQueen. For something just as pretty, try H&M's light purple pleated dress or ASOS Design's red bardot dress that you can wear with flats during the day.
The boat shoes
BUY NOW From £48
We've seen the Duchess of Cambridge wear her Sebago Bala boat shoes countless times over the years, including on her royal tours tours of Canada and India. Giving her comfort and timeless style, these flats are ideal for flying and getting about during your travels.
The striped day dress
BUY NOW £30
Kate looked lovely in a striped blue Zara dress while out with her children at a polo match. The dress was naturally a sellout but Warehouse's frill summer dress or Kate Spade's striped midi with pockets offer a similar style. Team the frock with a pair of sandals or espadrilles, just like the Duchess.
The breton top
BUY NOW £44
Kate's worn a few different breton tops over the years, which she mostly wears with jeans or under a blazer for a smart-casual look. She usually heads to ME + EM for the French style staple but if these have sold out, J.Crew is a good bet for its relaxed fit, boat neck tops that you can pack for a weekend away.
The earrings

Wearing a casual outfit doesn't stop Kate from adding sparkle to her look. She's been spotted wearing Monica Vinader's Siren Wire Earrings in Green Onyx on dressed-down days. The versatile earrings will add a touch of glamour to your day or night style.
The white trainers
BUY NOW £50
Kate often likes to complete her off-duty style with a pair of white trainers (as well as her Monica Vinader earrings, seen again here). Her Superga 2750 Cotu Classics will see you from the airport to strolls around the old town and look fab paired with a day dress too.
The blouse
BUY NOW £55
When Kate toured the Kaziranga National Park in India, she perfected her safari outfit with a printed white blouse, skinny jeans and boat shoes. A relaxed shirt will keep you cool while covered up during hot weather. Try Boden's printed blouse worn with shorts or a pair of jeans.
The pashmina

Whether tied around her neck on a rainy day or draped around her shoulders when dressed to the nines for an evening out, Kate likes to wear a pashmina as a shield from the elements. You'll find a luxury one similar to Kate's at N.Peal. Pack it in your flight bag to keep you warm on the plane and wear it on cooler evenings out.
The printed cropped trousers
