25 Photos Of Princess Diana's Legendary Sweater Style

From chunky cardigans to colorful pullovers, the Princess of Wales knew how to rock a cozy knit.

Diana, Princess of Wales, is remembered for her sense of style — from her glamorous gowns to her colorful summer looks. Looking back at her fashion, it’s also clear she knew how to rock a sweater.

Even before officially joining the royal family, Lady Diana Spencer was photographed in an array of cardigans and pullovers. In her early years as a royal, she showed a particular fondness for colorful intarsia sweaters with quirky designs.

In 2020, the preppy streetwear brand Rowing Blazers re-released two of Diana’s most iconic sweaters through a collaboration with the original designers: the “I’m a Luxury” and sheep pullovers she wore in the 1980s:
