How Meghan Markle made even more of an impact by wearing this shirt
It was revealed today that Meghan Markle visited the newly opened second branch of the Luminary Bakery in London, an organisation which welcomes women from vulnerable circumstances (be it abuse, poverty, trafficking, marginalisation) and equips them with the job skills and confidence to succeed.
The Duchess has worked with them in the past and featured them as one of her forces for change in the September issue of Vogue, which she guest edited.
She chatted to women during her visit, and even participated in a baking masterclass. And it seems that without even realising it, she indirectly made an extra impact thanks to her choice of clothing.
Meghan wore a striped boyfriend shirt by With Nothing Underneath, a brand with a sustainable focus which specialises in 100% cotton shirts (which are meant to last a lifetime).
Having seen the actress wearing the shirt, it has now pledged to support the organisation with every sale of the shirt.
