Princess Diana’s Top 10 Statement Sweaters

Some might think that a sweater like this would be too bulky to cinch at the waist, but Diana wasn’t so easily fooled.

The Princess dropped Prince Harry off at his first day of school in 1989 wearing a sweater that says, “Oh, family heirlooms? Yeah, I’ve got a few.”

On its own this cardigan definitely packs a punch, but paired with a ruffled bib shirt and high-waisted skirt? Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is awe-inspiring.

Not everyone would see the fashionable potential in this pattern—a floral, loopy visual reminiscent of your grandmother’s doilies—but Diana isn’t everyone.

Already wearing reindeer in November—we stan a Christmas Queen.

Diana was never as into extremely British sports the way her husband was, but wearing polo sure does seem more enjoyable than watching it. (Sorry.) (Not sorry.)

Struggling to choose between your striped sweater, zig-zag sweater, llama sweater, and line of creepy girls holding hands sweater? Well, does Diana have a look for you.

The sweater equivalent of “I want to dress up, but I like to party.”

Pregnancy is hard and everyone deserves a koala sweater to help get through it.

The statement sweater to end all statement sweaters, Diana’s infamous “black sheep” crewneck spoke volumes about her perceived place in the royal family. Also, it was very cute.
