Shoulders in the air
Diana of Wales became a style icon before she even became a princess. She popularized certain garments between the 80s and 90s that have now returned to take over our wardrobes such as off-the-shoulder, or off-the-shoulder dresses , like this one, in which it was one of her most iconic looks.

Polka dots, in all their versions, are the star pattern of the season but it turns out that Diana had already gotten ahead of us and wore one of her most popular versions of this year (black on white) two decades ago.

Yes, Diana was pure sophistication, but when she had to play with her children she dressed like any other mother of the time, and now!

The denim jumpsuit or dungarees is a must this season. Wear it in light fabrics like this one so it doesn't get so hot.

Another of Diana's more informal looks is this yellow shirt-style jumpsuit. She combined it with gold accessories and it was quite a sensation.
Oversize

Another feature of Diana's look was the oversize silhouette that we continue to see today in a multitude of seasonal garments. To define the silhouette, do like her and add a belt or look for clothes that include it.

Jacket suit

As a fashion icon, Diana was also able to stand out even with sober and classic garments such as the suit jacket. The trick is to choose it in a soft but striking color like mint green.
Matching

Today we find a multitude of models with which we can emulate their style but if you want to go a step further, note that the jacket has four buttons instead of two. It's the Lady Di touch.

But when it came to being classic at all, Diana did not hesitate to opt for the classic prince of Wales print, which was why her title was from there.

Dress + pants
This Diana look is much more current than it seems. The princess wore a kaftan with pants underneath and also white high heels, an accessory that until recently was quite reviled.

We have been very surprised to see how some brands begin to incorporate looks that mix dresses and pants like this to their stores. Could it be a coincidence?

Diana of Wales became a style icon almost earlier than a princess . All the designers wanted to dress her and even Dior baptized one of its iconic bags with her name, the Lady Dior, which today continues to be one of the most desired of the firm. She made everything she wore a trend and even today, more than twenty years after her death, we continue to recover some of her fetish garments. This spring she is wearing the Diana look and if you want to replicate it, we know how you can do it.
Lady Di's style is back
- Off shoulders. Dresses and tops with a boat neckline are a must for this spring. Diana was one of its forerunners and one of her most remembered looks is a black dress with this type of neckline that she combined with black stockings and a pearl choker.
- Costumes . Diana remained a princess but what she did achieve was to be the absolute queen of jacket suits. She had mastered their use and today her way of wearing them has become a source of inspiration. She paired the structured shoulder jackets with jeans and wore two-piece suits with skirts and bright colors like mint green. Among her favorites were also the prince of wales print, so fashionable this season.
- Dress and pants. Few have dared to mix trousers with a dress but Diana, as a style icon that she was, had no problem combining both and being the winner. This year we're seeing that mix more than ever and we can't help but remember her completely blank look.
- Overalls and overalls. Diana was able to make icons as casual as a yellow jumpsuit or denim overalls , because when you have style, anything can be elegant.
