When it comes to fashion icons, Princess Diana was unparalleled. Her ability to pull off practically any sartorial moment, from her signature bike short and sweatshirt combo to her “liberated” Dior silk slip dress, is admired by fashion buffs to this day. But Princess Diana’s sweater collection, which included such memorable pieces as her black sheep jumper, the “I’m A Luxury…” sweater, a cute koala design and many others, was truly in a league of its own. Her penchant for these kitchy, somewhat tacky, knit statement sweaters gave a glimpse into the Princess of Wales’ playful sense of humor.
The fourth season of The Crown is also a good reminder that Princess Diana knew how to rock a novelty knit sweater or two. Actress Emma Corrin, who portrays her in the series, donned the actual Rowing Blazers Sheep Sweater that Diana often wore to polo matches, usually with a Peter Pan-collared blouse underneath. We stan Netflix’s costume department and its dedication to historcal accuracy!
Now that we’re getting into colder weather, it’s the perfect time to get a sassy statement sweater of your own. If you’ve always dreamed of recreating a famous Princess Diana outfit yourself, the good news is Rowing Blazers has teamed up with the original designers of two of her most famous sweaters. Warm & Wonderful made the Sheep Sweater and Gyles & George were behind the “I’m A Luxury” design, so now you can actually buy the real pieces Princess Di wore! For maximum Princess Di energy, style your picks over a pair of black bike shorts.
Both options are available to order now on the Rowing Blazers site. But if you don’t want to wait, or would prefer a more affordable version of a Princess Diana-style statement sweater, we’ve got you covered there, too. Read on to shop a bunch of sweaters Princess Di would definitely love, including two she actually wore and one exact replica from Etsy.

If You’re a Luxury, “I’m A Luxury”
this exact “I’m A Luxury” sweater from Rowing Blazers has been on my fashion bucket list ever since I saw photos of Princess Diana wearing it back in the day.

To All The Black Sheep Out There
If Diana felt like a black sheep in the royal family, this Sheep Sweater (which she actually wore!) was her clever, hidden message to the world.

Save The Drama for Your Llama
Princess Diana famously wore a pink sweater with llamas on it, so this replica from Etsy would be a pretty sweet homage to her playful style.

Keepin’ It Cozy
Not all of Princess Di’s sweaters were funky, but they were always cozy. She’d definitely keep warm during English winters in a Nordic wool sweater like this one.

Day Off Vibes
I can totally picture Princess Di styling this two-tone quarter-zip sweater from STAUD over a pair of simple black bike shorts. Chunky sneakers are a must, obvi!

Can’t you imagine Princess Di wearing this adorable cloud sweater on a day out with young Prince William and Prince Harry?!

Argyle, But Make It Cute
This gray argyle sweater is a great option because not all of Diana’s sweaters were so brightly colored! It’s preppy enough to wear to a polo match, don’t you think?

Collar Me Maybe
Princess Diana once wore a navy sweater that featured a white collared design, so this option from Ganni feels like a very modern update to her look.

This Flower Power Moment
I have a feeling Princess Di would have gone absolutely crazy for this daisy-printed sweater from ASOS Design, especially paired with some biker shorts. They were her go-to legwear for running errands.

A Cami Set Fit for A Princess
Princess Diana would surely love this darling baby blue sweater set, no? The chunky ribbed style feels very retro, but the shape makes it feel totally modern at the same time!

A Pop Of Something Fun
You can’t channel Diana’s style without adding a few bright colors into your wardrobe, so this Relaxed Polo Sweater from BP is perfect. Style this with some wide-leg trousers to match her vibe to a T.

Vest In Class
Sweater vests were bascially a wardrobe staple back in the day and Diana was known for rocking one from time to time. This option from Mundaka comes a lime-green hue that very much fits her bright vibe.
