After a visit to Kyiv, Princess Anne attracted attention not only as a member of the royal family but also as an icon of understated style. Here is how the sister of King Charles III dresses and the rules she follows.
Princess Anne's style
Princess Anne's style is a successful blend of classic elegance, practicality, and personal flair. She is one of the most stylish women in the British royal family, although her style is often underestimated due to its practicality.
Princess Anne is the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and the sister of King Charles III. She is known not only for her royal duties but also as an accomplished equestrian, which has influenced her fashion choices.
Key features of Princess Anne's style
Classics and restraint
The princess often wears refined, classic silhouettes, for example, structured jackets, tailored coats, and long skirts. She favors quality fabrics, muted colors, and minimal embellishments.
Re-wearing outfits
Anne is a champion of reusing clothing. She can wear the same piece for decades—and it's no exaggeration. Her vintage coats and suits from the '70s and '80s still look relevant today. She embraced the idea of conscious consumption long before it became a trend.
Functionality
Her outfits are often designed to be practical, especially during official visits or sporting events. Comfortable shoes, long skirts, and coats with deep pockets contribute to convenience.
Retro influence
Her wardrobe features 70s and 80s retro elements, such as high collars, bright scarves, large glasses, and voluminous hairstyles, that have changed little over the decades. She doesn't follow trends, yet her style becomes more relevant with time.
Equestrian and military influence
Due to her active involvement in horse riding and military ceremonies, her wardrobe clearly reflects a jockey-inspired style: tall boots, blazers, caps, and uniforms.
