Elegant style icon wardrobe essentials: Princess Diana in white shirt

The first time when Lady Diana Spencer appeared into the eyes of public in white shirt, she wore it as a well born English upper class girl would wear it, dainty, discreet, with ruffles, ribbons, bows, underneath a cardigan, a jumper, or a tailored jacket, allowing only partial views of what she might be wearing, the collar, the cuffs, the button placket......

Then as time goes by, gone are the ribbons, the bows, the ruffles, as well as the granie cardigan and sheep jumper. Now a Princess both in title and style, Diana’s white shirt is slowly reduced to the essence of a white shirt: white, crispy, fitting and full front button closure, paired with a pair of blue jeans or khaki pants, with a pair of loafers.

She looks perfect. So perfect that if white shirt were to be the only thing in her wardrobe, Princess Diana would look just as regal and royal.

Seeing her in white shirt gives hope to every single girl and woman who wants to be her or be like her: a white shirt is the most accessible item they can imitate from Princess Diana wardrobe, even they know she can not be imitated, not even by Meghan Markle, her own daughter-in-law.
