When Meghan Markle<\/a> unveiled her ShopMy account earlier this year, I was intrigued to get a closer look at her favourite fashion, beauty and lifestyle picks. <\/p>\n

Included among her curated wardrobe essentials was a striped boyfriend shirt by WNU – a brand I hadn’t expected to see, but one that makes perfect sense. <\/p>\n

WNU, short for With Nothing Underneath<\/a>, is a British label founded in 2017. Inspired by classic men’s tailoring, it specialises in timeless staples – from oversized shirts to tailored trousers – all designed to outlast trends and earn a lasting spot in your wardrobe. <\/p>\n

After all, Meghan has long been a fan of relaxed shirts. Royal watchers will remember her iconic debut of the crisp white ‘Husband’ shirt by Misha Nonoo<\/a> during her first public appearance<\/a> with Prince Harry<\/a>, shortly before their engagement. <\/p>\n

Meghan first wore WNU’s blue and white linen shirt in 2019 during a visit to Smart Works<\/a>, pairing it with skinny jeans for a laid-back look. <\/p>\n

Since then, she’s embraced the brand multiple times – most notably in a crisp white striped poplin shirt, as well as a blue linen version<\/a> worn while filming the first season of her Netflix<\/a> show. <\/p>\n

So I was delighted to see WNU making a return in her list of must-haves. The brand’s pared back aesthetic is exactly what I love about it.<\/p>\n

As founder Pip Durrell – a former Vogue stylist and Tatler Editor – put it, WNU designs are meant ‘to be worn effortlessly, without thought or anything underneath’.<\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/img.particlenews.com\/image.php?url=1yVifo_13ep8xpd00\"The B Corp-certified brand offers a mix of core designs and seasonal staples\"https:\/\/img.particlenews.com\/image.php?url=2ApRe0_13ep8xpd00\"Sustainably-sourced fabric options range\u00a0 from Tencel Lyocell and seersucker to linen and wool<\/p>\n

To experience the collection up close, I visited WNU’s flagship store in Belgravia – a small yet beautifully curated space, filled with natural light and a welcoming atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The B Corp-certified brand offers a mix of core designs and seasonal staples, with sustainably-sourced fabric options, ranging from Tencel Lyocell and seersucker to linen and wool. <\/p>\n

There are four shirt shapes: Boyfriend (relaxed fit, longer length), Classic (regular fit and length), Weekend (oversized fit, regular length) and Oversized (extra oversized fit, longer length). <\/p>\n

I favour the Boyfriend style for its longer length – at just under 5’8′, I often struggle to find shirts that offer enough coverage, but this one is just right. <\/p>\n

With its ‘borrowed from the boys’ relaxed fit and exaggerated cuffs, it delivers a flattering, effortless silhouette that works perfectly for everyday wear. <\/p>\n

That said, every piece feels undeniably luxurious – made to last, with meticulous attention to detail.<\/p>\n

Even the way the shirts button left over right, in true menswear style, reinforces the brand’s commitment to timeless tailoring and androgynous style.<\/p>\n

There is a personalisation corner in the store, where you can have your initials embroidered onto the cuff of a shirt – a thoughtful, bespoke touch that makes each piece feel uniquely yours. <\/p>\n

Naturally, I couldn’t resist trying on a few standout pieces, including the very shirt Meghan once wore, and summer co-ords you’ll want in every colour.<\/p>\n

Boyfriend Shirt in Navy Blue Stripe <\/strong><\/p>\n

This Boyfriend Shirt was an instant winner, thanks to its pop of navy blue – a shade that feels both classic and refreshingly modern. <\/p>\n

The Tencel Lyocell fabric has a beautifully silky texture and an effortless drape, making it as comfortable as it is elegant.\u00a0Even better, it’s said to require minimal ironing, which only adds to its appeal. <\/p>\n

I styled this piece with Boden straight-leg jeans<\/a> and M&S flats, though I suspect it would look even better with white denim for a fresh, summery feel. I’m also planning to tuck it into wide-leg black trousers for a more polished, office-ready look. <\/p>\n

Boyfriend Shirt in Powder Blue Stripe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another take on the Boyfriend style, this sky blue shirt shares the same shape as its navy blue counterpart. <\/p>\n

It features the same medium-width stripes, but the lighter shade lends it a more laid-back feel.<\/p>\n

Just like the original, it can be dressed up or down with ease, depending on the occasion. Personally, I would pair it with darker denim to create contrast and let the colour really pop. <\/p>\n

Boyfriend Shirt in Midnight Blue Stripe<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the very shirt worn by Meghan Markle – a bestselling silhouette crafted from organic cotton poplin and thoughtfully designed for everyday wear. <\/p>\n

With its classic narrow stripe, it’s a timeless staple that effortlessly transitions from office hours to weekend outings. <\/p>\n

Crisp, versatile and easy to style, it’s the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again. <\/p>\n

Weekend Shirt and Boxer Shorts in\u00a0Rain Blue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Offering an even more relaxed feel, the Weekend Shirt<\/a> features a boxy, oversized fit that appears particularly striking in the brand’s signature seersucker fabric. <\/p>\n

Designed for maximum comfort, this set is the perfect throw-on piece to pack in your suitcase – ideal for effortless holiday dressing. <\/p>\n

While I found the colour a touch too light for my English Rose complexion, I can imagine it looking fabulous on deeper or warmer skin tones. <\/p>\n

Classic Shirt and Boxer Shorts in Navy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The navy version of the Classic Shirt and Boxer Shorts set felt instantly chic.<\/p>\n

Crafted from lightweight, breathable linen, the boxer shorts offer effortless comfort – the kind you can throw on without a second thought. <\/p>\n

The nautical navy shade is ideal for warmer days, flattering every skin tone and lending itself to endless styling possibilities. <\/p>\n

Pair them with the matching Classic Shirt<\/a> for a coordinated look or keep it casual with a white T-shirt. <\/p>\n

Weekend Shirt and Boxer Shorts in Mocha Stripe <\/strong><\/p>\n

I was especially taken with this mocha-coloured set, sold as separates but effortlessly paired. <\/p>\n

It features the Weekend Shirt and matching Boxer Shorts, both crafted from puckered organic cotton that gives it a tactile appeal. <\/p>\n

With its oversized, easy silhouette, the shirt works just as well thrown over jeans for a day in town as it does layered over a bikini on holiday. Add the shorts for a breezy look when heading to the bar or exploring the coast.<\/p>\n

For a balmy evening, I’ll be dressing the set up with strappy heels and gold jewellery – proof that laid-back doesn’t have to mean low-key. <\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that the store carries limited stock of each design. A few pieces I had my eye on were either sold out or unavailable in my size. <\/p>\n

One of these was the Oversized Shirt in Patchwork<\/a> – a standout style I absolutely loved for its contrast of classic pinstripes and bold blocks of colour. <\/p>\n

Luckily, it’s still available online, and I’ve included it in my top picks below. <\/p>\n

In the end, I went for the Boyfriend Shirt in Navy Blue Stripe<\/a> and took full advantage of the beautiful personalisation station. <\/p>\n

I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the embroidery – the red stitching looks especially striking against the fabric. <\/p>\n
