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 still admired decades later. (My mom even once defended me after I got sent home from school for wearing a slip dress by pointing out that “Princess Di wore one!”). But Princess Diana’s sweaters, which included such memorable pieces like her black sheep jumper, the “I’m a Luxury…” sweater, a cute koala design and many others, were in their own category of excellence.
Diana’s penchant for these sassy, somewhat tacky, knit statement sweaters gave a glimpse into the Princess of Wales’s playful sense of humor, and the fourth season of The Crown is also a good reminder that Princess Diana knew how to rock a novelty knit sweater like nobody’s business. Emma Corrin, who portrays her in the series, donned the famous black sheep jumper that Diana often wore to polo matches, usually with a Peter Pan-collared blouse underneath. (Which reminds me, who could forget the time fellow kooky sweater fan Harry Styles paid tribute to Diana’s look himself with a vest version of the sheep sweater?!)

A Not-So-Ugly Christmas Sweater
Say it with me: Princess Diana wore a reindeer sweater, so I want to wear a reindeer sweater.

Save the Drama for Your Llama
Princess Diana famously wore a pink sweater with llamas on it, so this fuschia llama-patterned sweater would be a pretty sweet homage.

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.
