Whether you were around to remember Lady Diana Spencer from your younger years or have merely heard, read and watched countless tales of hers, you're likely familiar with the view that she is now widely-considered quite the style icon. If she was considered as such in her day is a hotly-debated topic, but as some of her favourite trends of the eighties in particular fall back into mainstream style there's no doubt that several of her looks have been pinned  – both literally and figuratively via Pinterest - onto endless mood boards.  

She's one of the most-talked-about British royals of all time, but while Princess Diana's personal life may not have been without its controversies, her wardrobe was a resounding success amongst fashion critics and remains one of the most-loved ever since.

Princess Diana was behind some of the most major fashion moments of the last century. Even now, almost twenty-three years on from her tragic and untimely death, she is one of the most frequently-referenced muses within the fashion industry.

Emerging almost as tribes, there are certain looks adopted by several of us, and – as is the case with all good trends – we're looking to the late Princess of Wales as the instigator. Scroll down for some good old fashioned escapism, and find your – and your friends'  style for this season.
