Princess Anne's denim blazer was a style plot twist at Commonwealth Games and it's got me excited to embrace jacket weather

Anne, Princess Royal watches the action during day seven of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games at Glasgow International Arena on July 30, 2026.

Princess Anne famously believes that there's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing and I couldn't think of a more "appropriate" jacket style for summer than denim. It's incredibly versatile and the Princess Royal just wore a rather fabulous denim blazer for a day at the Commonwealth Games in Scotland.

It's possible she's had this in her collection for decades but it stood out as something quite different for her. Anne's jacket was a mid-blue wash and I firmly believe this is the best colour to go for if you want all-round wearability. Indigo, black and white denim are less mottled and can often be stiffer too.
