Meghan Markle's Fashion Choice For Her Latest Public Appearance Is Raising Eyebrows

Meghan Markle has long been a huge fan of all things fashion — even before she became known as the Duchess of Sussex. In fact, her wardrobe has gotten just as much attention as her sister-in-law Kate Middleton's over the years. Speaking to Glamour in 2017, Meghan, who was best known for her role as Rachel Zane in "Suits," told the mag: "I love the opportunity to get properly dressed up. I've worn three Lanvin dresses and they've all been a dream. They're so well made, with the most beautiful craftsmanship. I don't tend to go with things that are ornate – just beautifully made pieces and some classic jewelry. Let the work speak for itself. I love that."

And, while many fashionistas on both sides of the pond would agree that Meghan is usually on point when it comes to her style, a lot of people can't help but wonder why she made the choice she did to wear her black jumper and heavy wool coat during her and Prince Harry's first trip to New York City together. Here's why.

While Meghan Markle certainly looked sleek in her black, wide-legged pants and wool coat, a lot of people could not help but wonder if she had not checked the weather report before leaving sunny California for New York City. While the temperature in the Big Apple can vary during any given season, the weather report says it was 80 degrees when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited One World Trade Center with New York City's Mayor Bill de Blasio and his family, as detailed by "Good Morning America."

Of course, it did not take long for Meghan's critics and detractors to weigh in on her fashion choice for the occasion. She and Prince Harry are in New York City, as they will be appearing at the Global Citizen Live event in Central Park. Some comments from the Daily Mail included, "Does she never learn how to wear clothes that suit the occasion and weather?" along with, "It's a hot and humid day in New York and she is wearing a high collar and coat."

Needless to say, Meghan has not made any comments about the criticism she has received about her choice of coat, but seeing how she often gets a cold reception from the press and the tabloid media, perhaps she just wanted to be prepared this time around.
