When we look at the old pictures, we can see several colors that were frequently used in Princess Diana’s cloths. They are pretty classic and hard to make mistakes.
1. Sand/Camel
Camel might be one of the favorite colors of Princess Diana. Used in many occasions, in many different styles:
The cloth fabric she wore in Autumn and Winter was wool, which gave people a feeling of elegant and comfortable. Wool fabrics has a smooth reflection under the light, therefore even using the color sand/camel, she can still outstand among people.

After getting divorced, her cloths became more casual and mature. The cloth fabrics she used became cotton, linen and polyester.
The camel suit is very functional. When worn separately, it matches well with light blue.
2. Red+White
The combination of red and white was frequently used in Princess Diana’s summer outfits.
To complete the style, a hat in the same color was needed.
Before Meghan Markle join the royal family, Kate Middleton was often compared with her mother-in-law. One of the reasons may be people thought Kate was imitating Diana.
3. Pastel Lilac
Pastel Lilac is like the “royal color”, it was frequently used in both the Queen and Princess Diana’s cloths. On the event in 1994, both of them wore the same color.
Combined with shoes and purse same color with her hair, she looked gorgeous.
Decorated with some jewelries, this color is suitable for everyday works. Real female power!
Loose fitting wool coats combined with basic solid color clothing are very classic combinations for Fall and Winter. Under the wool coat, you can wear a solid color one-piece dress, or a sweater with umbrella skirt or trousers in similar color. Try this, and you will look both elegant and adorable.
