Winter is fast approaching, and who better to take fashion inspiration from than Princess Diana? For all of Diana's frilled gowns, skirted suits, and outfit-matching hats, it's in her sweater game that her true fashion genius shines through. She could find the sublime in the tacky, the elegant in the gaudy—an inspiration to us all, as we head further into winter.
Below, the late Princess of Wales's top 12 statement sweaters—plus similar styles to snag for yourself to recreate her outfits for winter 2025.
The "Let's Throw It All on There" Sweater
Struggling to choose between your striped sweater, zig-zag sweater, llama sweater, and line of girls holding hands sweater? Well, does Diana have a look for you.
While no sweater for sale in 2025 quite captures the energy of the Inca jersey jumper that Diana wore in Balmoral in 1981, this cardigan from Boden comes close.
The Polo Sweater
Diana was never as into British sports the way her husband was, but wearing polo sure does seem more enjoyable than watching it.
Thanks to the trending horse girl aesthetic, there are plenty of sweaters adorned with horses you can wear to replicate Diana's polo look, including this classic option from Ralph Lauren.
The Family Jewels Sweater
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."
This embellished red sweater is a nice nod to Diana's version.
The Dainty Sweater
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.
The floral embroidery at the collar here calls back to Diana's cardigan.
The Reindeer Sweater
Already wearing reindeer in November—we stan a Christmas Queen.
There's plenty of reindeer sweaters available, including this cozy one from L.L. Bean.
