The boyfriend shirt is synonymous with the Duchess of Sussex’s laid back yet elegant style. Most recently, the royal was spotted cheering on her husband, the Duke of Sussex, during a polo match in California, wearing a buttoned-down white shirt paired with matching shorts. WNU’s signature blue and white shirts have been sported by Meghan during visits to initiatives, photoshoots and notably, during Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, which she attended virtually, from her Santa Barbra mansion in 2020.
By choosing to support a small British brand, the duchess helped WNU grow to new echelons of success. Despite the fact that WNU’s classic boyfriend shirts have been displayed across the world on the backs of some of the most stylish and beautiful, from A-listers Markle, Phoebe Dynevor, Emily Ratakowski and Claire Foy, to society darlings, Poppy Delevingne, Gabriella Wilde, Daisy van Straubenzee, Jemima Jones and Violet Henderson, Durell is still excited when the brand is ‘spotted in the wild’. ‘I’m always shocked! I love it when people send me pictures of WNU… it’s quite insane really,’ she told Tatler.
