Can there be a more versatile item of clothing than one in denim? Probably not; that's why this fabric is always a great choice, especially for informal occasions that call for practicality, functionality and total comfort. A case in point - Meghan Markle's choice for a special trip to New York to see her BFF Serena Williams play in the US Open final.

The Duchess of Sussex went for a demin shirt dress, which sold out within a few hours of her wearing it in public before becoming available again from the J.Crew online store for $118. Megan wore a light gray sweater-blazer over her shoulders - also from the brand she often favors.

Light and dark

For days when the temperature starts to drop, choose a longer dress like the Sessile by Grlfrnd. Wear unbuttoned with animal print embossed boots for a fierce look. Revolve ($298).

Utilitario y de zipper frontal

Although buttons tend to rule, we've found a denim utility dress that features a front zipper. This looks best when it falls slightly short of the hem to leave a small split, as pictured here. Asos ($25.50).

The perfect combination

If you decide to opt for buttons from top to bottom, look for details that set it apart, like the Cover Up model by Mother which looks like a jacket and skirt joined at the waist. Revolve ($425).

Ruffles up top

Fall fashion trends on the runways feature ruffles on sleeves and necklines. Check out this design featuring them on the collar, neckline, sleeves, and cuffs, worn with an on-trend fanny pack around the waist. Shein ($35)..

Sustainable fabrics

The Tessa dress is made with mix of tencel, a sustainable ecological fabric. The dress features a sharp neckline and belt with metal hoop. Wear on its own or over pants with the skirt unbuttoned for a bold look. 3X1 ($425).

Full skirt

If you want to add volume to your lower body, go for a dress with a full skirt. Like Meghan's, this piece features a belt of the same fabric that flatters the waist. SilkFred ($80).

Short with ankle boots

If you want to rock a shorter dress like the Duchess of Sussex, team it with ankle boots! The Pressin' dress with V-neck also has long sleeves like our other choices, but it's a much paler shade of denim. Nasty Gal ($32).
