Love it or hate it, Princess Diana’s style is back in major force for fall/winter—and on the spring/summer 2026 runways. Take a look at London Fashion Week last month where quirky sweaters, cardigans tied around shoulders and preppy staples like loafers strutted down the runways. And in Paris, bows and oversized blazers reigned. The ‘80s are back, baby, and no one is happier than Diana fashion fans.
During a recent trip to Nordstrom I noticed so many 1980s-inspired sweaters, in particular—pieces that reminded me of the ones my mom wore when I was growing up. Of course, Diana was the ultimate fashion inspiration for young women at the time, but her influence continues to be seen today. Case in point, Princess Diana's famous black sheep sweater, reissued by Rowing Blazers in 2020. While the original style is now sold out, similar versions of the playful print have popped up everywhere after the OG reboot.
