Still thinking about Meghan's summer suit? M&S is selling a much cheaper version
Ever since we spotted Meghan Markle’s summer suit, we’ve been desperately scouring the interwebs to find an affordable one of our own.
Luckily, Marks & Spencer (M&S) heard our calls and have come to the rescue with a neutral–hued linen suit that is perfect for the warmer months.
The Linen Blend Ruched Sleeve Blazer (£59) can be paired with the Linen Blend High Waisted Shorts (£25) for a dressed up look perfect for a date night – such as the one Meghan and Harry were having when she wore her suit.
The price point is drastically below Meghan’s Staud suit too, as her rosebud pink blazer retails for £300, while the matching shorts are a cool £196.20.
We can’t imagine the M&S suit will be around for long though. The blazer alone has been sold 87 times in the last 48 hours at the time of writing, while the shorts have been sold nearly 50 times.
Still not convinced? Read on for why this is a worthy summer investment for your wardrobe.
Why we rate it
There is no better fabric to laze around in during the warmer months than linen. Linen not only absorbs a lot of moisture but dries quickly which is why it can keep you cool during summer.
These blazer and shorts from M&S are a cost effective dupe for Meghan’s pricier linen set, but we think this set is just as lovely, and the colour means you’ll be able to pair it with most things you already own.
What’s more, is you can wear the shorts and blazer separately, creating unique looks with other items in your wardrobe, or wear them together for a more polished feel. This makes this a perfect investment for both the office and the post-office pub visit.

What the reviews say
The blazer currently has a total of three reviews: two five-star and one four-star. The shorts have one review at present, a glowing four stars. Here’s what they’re saying:
This is a lovely lightweight summer blazer. I sized up as I like my jackets loose. Lovely neutral colour.
Lovely jacket which will be very useful in better weather! Dress up or down with trousers or dress. Colour is ideal to match everything - plains or florals.
Great quality, perfect fit. Sleeves are great, can be worn dressed up with black wide leg trousers and silky top or more casual with M&S boot cut jeans and a slim fit T-shirt.
Lovely shorts I bought for my summer holiday. Colour will go with lots of different tops. Love that they have pockets. Bought my usual size which fit perfectly.
