It’s no secret that Princess Diana was known for her impeccable style. Her preppy, off-duty looks were copied all over the world – and still are. Some of her iconic outfits have been popping up everywhere from runways, to the wardrobes of celebrities and influencers alike.
From her cycling shorts and sweatshirt combo, to pairing an oversized blazer with more casual pieces, Lady Di had a knack for making sportswear look chic. Especially after her separation from Prince Charles in 1992, when the once-shy royal discovered a newly-found confidence through her clothing, incorporating wardrobe basics with timeless pieces.
