Princess Diana's 1980s style is back! This River Island Chanel-style cardigan seems straight from the royal style icon's fashion wardrobe.
Looks inspired by the 1980s and 1990s are a major fashion trend, and royal style icon Princess Diana's famous outfits, from puff-sleeved floral dresses to pussy-bow blouses are back and more popular than ever.
That’s why when we spotted this River Island oversized cardigan, with gold buttons and a black-and-white design that brings to mind classic Chanel, we could instantly imagine it in Diana's royal wardrobe.

Fashion icon Princess Diana wore an oversized cardigan in London back in the late 1980s
Princess Diana was spotted wearing a similar oversized cardigan in London back in 1989 and it seems the piece is just as timeless as the royal's famous style.
Monochrome cardigan, £38, River Island
There's also an & Other Stories version of the cardigan in a similar monochrome style - but hurry, it's selling quickly!
While Diana wore her cardie with a pleated summer skirt – still an option! – we can also see this knit teamed with everything from jeans and a T-shirt to an LBD.
Oversized Gold Button Cardigan, £85, & Other Stories
Influencers are also rocking the look as a sweater dress, and we love that on the & Other Stories website they've taken a page from the royal style book by pairing the cardigan with Princess Diana's beloved bike shorts – a royally cool look if we've ever seen one.
