Her legacy continues to flourish, with TikToks and Instagram posts regularly gaining popularity. Her exceptional sense of style continues to captivate people around the world, even in 2023.
She fearlessly pioneered the combination of cycling shorts with an oversized jumper, a timeless favourite that still holds appeal for many.
Diana’s fashion legacy serves as a compelling reminder that true style knows no boundaries, encouraging individuals to embrace their unique individuality, confidence, and grace through the transformative power of fashion.
If you’re seeking inspiration from her unforgettable looks for your new OOTDs, you’re in luck. Here are some fashion pieces that exude the essence of Princess Diana that replicates her timeless allure and elegance.
There’s no denying that D was essentially the pioneer of this trend of sporting comfortable cycling shorts, as you’d typically wear leggings while teaming them with an oversized top or crewneck sweater. Ideally, cycling shorts would reach the mid-thigh and sit high-waisted.
During European summers, she frequently showcased herself wearing pastel-hued, abbreviated shorts. Accompanied by a set of athletic trainers, such as running shoes or tennis footwear, and black or white socks that rest slightly above the ankle.
If you’re going for neutral black or white bottoms, an oversized casual crewneck is the ultimate practical and super comfy go-to. It’s the perfect outfit for chilling at picnics, running errands, or just hanging out with friends. Make sure you order it oversized.

Back in her early days, Diana had a soft spot for her cosy red knitted jumper, which she would sport on slightly chilly days. It’s a versatile piece that can be paired with casual denim jeans or even dressed up with smarter trousers if you’re in the mood.

Chunky running shoes have always been a trademark of Dads’ fashion, but recently they’ve made a comeback, thanks to New Balance captivating the attention of trendy young fashionistas on TikTok and Instagram. However, Princess Diana was way ahead of the curve and rocked that trend back in the early days.
Princess Diana always played it safe with neutral socks. They were her go-to choice, matching well with any style of shoes. The sporty socks she often wore, with ribbed stitching that extended past the ankle, perfectly complemented the casual running sneakers that she wore with confidence.
Well, this isn’t exactly great for Singapore weather, but it’s totally an option you can consider if you’re travelling to a colder country.
When you think of the British Royal Family, one of the first things that come to mind for many of us is their waxed Barbour jackets. And that iconic picture of Diana wearing slightly oversized Barbour jackets on a countryside walk really captures what these jackets are all about.
They might have a hefty price tag, but they’re definitely worth the investment as they’ll last you a lifetime and can even be passed down to your kids. When it comes to maintenance, all you have to do is give it a re wax at home or send it off to get it re waxed professionally. It’s the perfect jacket for all seasons.
