Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Wear These Shoe Styles on Repeat

We love to dissect everything Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton wear, from their handbag trends all the way down to their shoe selection. Upon closer inspection, the duchesses look to four key footwear styles to complete their polished ensembles. Keep scrolling for the standby shoes the young royals wear on repeat, and shop inspired silhouettes as well.

White Sneakers: While the Duchess of Sussex wears heels often, she also rocks trainers for laid-back looks. These popular Veja kicks went viral when she wore them during the Invictus Games on October 21, 2018. (Photo via Chris Jackson/Getty)

The Duchess of Cambridge kept it classic and casual hosting the London Marathon runners at Kensington Palace on April 23, 2017, with her striped Luisa Spagnoli pullover, skinny jeans, and affordable on-trend white Superga sneakers. (Photo via Chris Jackson/Getty)

Veja V-10 Lace-Up Sneakers ($150)

The black Ralph Lauren boots Middleton wore with an emerald Sportmax coat on the Comedy Carpet after visiting Blackpool Tower in England on March 6, 2019, were particularly sleek and elevated. (Photo via Katwai Tang/Getty)

Seychelles Holloway Knee-High Boots ($229)

Black Booties: A staple in most of our wardrobes, the Duchess of Sussex’s ankle boots by Givenchy coordinated flawlessly with her Club Monaco dress and coat on November 21, 2018, at the Hubb Community Kitchen in North Kensington. (Photo via Samir Hussein/Getty)

4 Ways We're Styling the Kiddos for Back to “School” This Fall

H&M

None

Somehow it's already August (what is time?!) and school, in many shapes and forms, is right around the corner. Many of us are balancing a combination of distance and virtual learning, sending kids back for a couple days a week or in shifts, attending outdoor classes, homeschooling while parents work in shifts, or even hiring teachers for quarantine pods of similar aged kids. That's a whole lot of possibilities! While we try to create routine and establish some semblance of normalcy in our lives, back to school style is one fun way to get your kiddos excited for getting back in the groove of learning, whatever that looks like. That special first day of school outfit is still a tradition you can keep!

We've teamed up with H&M to get Brit and her sons Ansel and Austin 'fitted for the new school year with back to school styles for every kind of classroom. Scroll on to see how we're getting ready with trendy wardrobe essentials and comfy-cute styles.

First Day of "School" Outfit

Whether your kiddo is catching up with friends IRL or via a video classroom, you can't send them back to school without a super fun first day outfit. Let them choose their favorite colors, patterns, characters and more. You can even do a virtual shopping trip and invite them to pick out a couple special pieces for the new year.

Dust off all those school supplies you bought by the boxful back in March, this year's school scene will definitely be a hybrid of homeschool, distance learning and educational playtime.

Take It Outside

Layers on layers! With some schools bringing the classroom outside and homeschool often taking place in the backyard, we've gotta get our kiddos layered up. Getting outside is also essential for making sure your little ones don't go into zombie zone after too much screen time. Whenever you can get outside for a lesson or activity, we highly encourage you to do so!

Ansel was such a big fan of this graphic tee, he couldn't help but discard his dinosaur layer when the sun came out ;)
