Steal Their Style: Royal Icons Edition

As the seasons start to change and fashion-lovers are looking for new inspiration, icons such Kate Middleton, Princess Diana, and Princess Sophia of Sweden are great places to start, being the epitome of class, sophistication, and style. 

Royals are always depicted in crowns, and stereotyped as very posh, but they are also photographed in streetwear that is rather casual and on-trend. Diving deeper into each of their styles, Princess Diana’s iconic streetwear looks are hard to beat, with Gen Z-ers using her as inspiration and implementing pieces such as biker shorts and oversized crewnecks into their everyday style. As for royals such as Kate Middleton and Sophia of Sweden, their styles are very feminine—yet practical— as they are often seen in statement trousers with either a heel or sneaker, always looking extremely put together with tasteful accessories and perfect hair, of course.

There is no real recipe to dress like a royal, however, each of these ladies has their own identifiable style from which it is easy to take inspiration and implement into your own wardrobe!

Kate Middleton

A woman of sophistication and grace, Kate Middleton is the pinnacle of preppy, vibrant style when it comes to royal streetwear. The pink trousers and Superga sneakers are a casual look for Kate, and, as always, her poise radiates regardless of her outfit. The second look is one of our favorites, a wide-leg navy trouser paired with a striped sweater and a red clutch adding a pop of color.
