She looked chic as ever wearing a black wide-brim hat, polka dot blouse, and white pleated shorts while supporting Prince Harry in a polo tournament in Santa Barbara, California on Sunday. Other than officially welcoming white pants season, the Duchess of Sussex's shorts were extra-wide and roomy, just like the parachute pants trend taking over Hollywood right now. Stars like Selena Gomez, Katie Holmes, Hailey Bieber, and Dua Lipa have all worn larger-than-life pants recently. Baggy pants aren't new, of course — the style is yet another '90s style resurgence we're seeing pop up everywhere. If big, balloon pants aren't your jam, wearing a shorts version like Meghan did can tame down the style while still looking trendy. Plus, they're easy to style, whether you opt for a fitted bodysuit, elegant blouse, or casual tee up top. Meghan's $780 Khaite shorts are sold out, but there are tons of similar styles made from light, airy fabric or linen, like Madewell's gauze-like cotton shorts and these tailored shorts from Abercrombie.

The airy shorts are moisture-wicking and definitely stylish enough to pull off with a brunch outfit.
