A sweater fit for a duchess and a queen.
Meghan Markle posted a few photos on her Instagram Stories yesterday, including a casual shot of her shopping for flowers while wearring Anine Bing jeans and Veronica Beard loafers â plus J.Crewâs iconic Rollneck Sweater.
The classic piece has been a fan favorite for decades. We even spotted it on our âQueen of Domesticity,â Martha Stewart, earlier this year, cementing its A-list status.
The cotton top â which debuted in 1988 â is an effortless layer to elevate virtually any outfit. Itâs so popular, itâs even spawned a whole rollneck collection, which includes cardigans, linen options and more.
While striped versions cost a little more, the solid options start at under $100 and come in so many colors â as well as two different silhouettes named for the years they were introduced, 1988 and 2025. (For $10 more, you can even personalize yours with initials or little icons.)
The Duchess of Sussex wore the 1988 style from seasons past, while Stewart wore the 2025 version, which offers a slightly slimmer fit.
The 1988 Rollneck Sweater is considered unisex and can be worn by anyone â though you may want to size down if you typically wear womenâs sizes.
Both have the signature rollneck, though the 1988 cut also has dropped shoulders and a thick rib detail on the neck and cuffs.
Markle is a long-time fan of J.Crew, frequently wearing the mall labelâs button-down shirts, sweaters and tops, which fit her laid-back yet elegant, coastal preppy style.
Often mixing them with designer accessories, the former âSuitsâ actress is practically the duchess of high-low style.
J.Crewâs sweater is so iconic, it was even part of Sarah Pidgeonâs wardrobe while playing Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy in Ryan Murphyâs hit series, âLove Story,â proving itâs both a retro classic and a forever capsule wardrobe staple.
While youâre shopping, if you need anything to round out your cart, the label is offering an extra 60% off sale items with code: SALETIME, making it a great time to get clothing essentials for less.
