The Boots Meghan Markle Just Wore in NYC Are Worth Every Cent—Here's Why
We get it: $700 for a pair of shoes is a lot. It may not be a lot for Meghan Markle, but it's definitely significant for the rest of us. However, when a pair of shoes is exceptionally versatile, timeless, and beautiful, we highly recommend saving up for them, which brings us to the duchess. Last night, Markle had a night out at The Polo Bar in NYC, where she was joined by a few of her friends (including Serena Williams). Markle wore the same black Hatch skinny jeans she wore earlier in the day, but she added a luxe Victoria Beckham coat and traded her nude pumps for a gorgeous pair of boots that are definitely worth saving up for.
The boots are by Tamara Mellon (one of our favorites), and they hit at a flattering spot on the mid-calf. The black boots are covered in calf hair and feature a pyramid heel that makes them feel particularly modern. They'd look just as good with midi skirts, dresses, or trousers as they do with skinny jeans, and you'll probably still be reaching for them five years from now.
