Meghan Markle Just Revealed the Perfect £20 Work Dress From M&S

Today marks the first day of Meghan Markle returning back to work after maternity leave (yes, royals have it too). Her first engagement? It's all about fashion. More precisely it's about the launch of a work capsule wardrobe range for the not-for-profit organisation Smart Works. At the event today, which is her first public appearance since giving birth to her son, Archie, she wore two pieces from the collection—a white shirt and a pair of black trousers. 

The Duchess of Sussex collaborated with Smart Works, an organisation enabling vulnerable women to get back into the workforce, to create a capsule work wardrobe from some of the biggest high-street retailers: John Lewis Partners, Marks Spencer, and Jigsaw are all involved. The Smart Set is comprised of five pieces—a white shirt, a blazer, classic black trousers, a perfect work dress and the perfect tote. The really great bit, however, is that for every item bought, one will be donated to Smart Works, helping women get back into work with confidence. 

Meghan decided she wanted to create this collection after visiting Smart Works on several occasions and spotting that there was a lack of clothing that would really give confidence to the women trying to get back into work. As the royal is often spotted in classic workwear pieces such as chic blouses, pencil skirts, and shift dresses, it makes sense that this range is a bit like an extension of her own wardrobe.
