Celebrity stylist Rochelle White shared some insight into why the Duchess opts to have the extra material around her feet as she told Femail it gives the illusion of height. She said: “Long dresses and trousers, depending on body type, can help to elongate the body and shape.
“They can make you look taller and depending on the styles can help to define areas of the body you either want to highlight or cover up.” She continued: “Looking at Meghan, I feel that these styles make her look taller and highlight her silhouette. I feel it makes her look taller. I feel that she knows her body and the things or items that work for her best and is tapping into that with her looks.”
Rochelle also compared Meghan’s fashion choices to the more traditional styles seen being worn by Kate Middleton, as she pointed out that the Princess of Wales opts for a more classic theme to her styling, with fitted dresses and tailored trousers while Meghan takes a more relaxed and personal approach to her fashion looks. She explained how “Meghan has more of trendy edge when it comes to her style,” and noted that on the other hand “Kate is very classic and chic in her fits and style with traditional pieces thrown in.”
Rochelle went on to describe how “with Meghan, I feel she is very much herself and has elements that really showcase her personality and personal style,” adding that the Duchess clearly likes “off the shoulder tops, shorts, co-ords and racer back tops, she doesn’t hide what she likes and what works for her.”
