Including an option from Oprah’s go-to brand.
One thing about Meghan Markle is she’ll always show up in an elegant ensemble boasting modern, feminine details. Last week, she did it yet again while speaking at the Afro Women and Power Forum in Colombia, wearing a contemporary midi skirt, hot pink heels, and a surprisingly affordable button-up blouse.

Markle’s shirt in question is from Mango and retails for only—wait for it—$26. The downside? The affordable, on-sale top has since sold out across the web, and for good reason. Who wouldn’t want a timeless and sophisticated shirt that quite literally pairs with everything? Better yet, it’s ideal for the fluctuating weather that’s often sandwiched between the end of summer and beginning of fall.
But I’m not just telling you this to get you bogged down about a no-longer-available top. Instead, I found five other options to make all of your capsule wardrobe dreams come true (low-priced and up-scale versions included).
HOTOUCH Womens Sleeveless Button Down Shirt
Orig. $28 $20 at Amazon
For even less than Markle’s original blouse, you can secure the Hotouch Button-Down Shirt, which shoppers have dubbed “beautiful.” I get it, since a 100 percent cotton construction, collar, and button trail deliver a polished top that’s sure to become your new closet staple. The low price also takes the pressure off of ruining it, so go ahead and wear it everywhere, including that spaghetti and red wine dinner.
Foxcroft Taylor Non-Iron Sleeveless Shirt
$88 at Nordstrom
For something a bit more posh, consider the Foxcroft Taylor Shirt, which includes side slits, a spread collar, and slightly tapered waist. Made of non-ironing material, it’s the perfect solution for frequent travelers; stash it in your suitcase, throw it on, and head out the door without worrying about wrinkles. It’s especially great for wearing hours on end, since the sleek fabric will keep it crisp and clean for, well, always.
Spanx The Best Sleeveless Poplin Button-Down Shirt
$98 at Spanx
You can never go wrong with Spanx—just ask Oprah. The high-low top mimics Markle’s classic look, while the lightweight cotton material keeps you feeling fresh. Best of all? It’s stretchy, making refined dressing easier than ever. Oh, and did I mention that this elevated blouse is also wrinkle-free? Because it is.
No matter which version you go with, style it for fall with wide-leg jeans and comfy loafers, or take advantage of the tail end of summer with a flowy skirt and sandals. And while you’re at it, shop more Markle-inspired button-down tops, below, including a $22 option Amazon shoppers call “fabulous” and “lightweight.”
