4 Aug
Summary
- Princess Anne sported a mini skirt with knee-high boots in 1968.
- The royal's 60s style included psychedelic prints and bucket hats.
- Fashion designers cite Princess Anne as a chic, understated icon.
In 1968, an 18-year-old Princess Anne showcased a more daring fashion sense, seen in London wearing knee-high boots with a mini skirt. This marked a departure from her signature long hemlines, which she has maintained for decades, even when embracing her equestrian interests.
This youthful style was also evident when she traveled from the Sandringham estate. She wore structured outfits typical of the 1960s, including a jacket and pencil skirt, complemented by fishnet tights and croc-effect boots.
Princess Anne's fashion choices in the late 1960s mirrored London's mod scene, featuring vibrant prints, headscarves, and colorful coats. Her recent adoption of sustainable fashion includes re-wearing beloved pieces from this era.
Her influence extends beyond royal circles, with fashion figures like Silvia Venturini Fendi hailing her as the 'most chic woman in the world' for her anti-fashion, yet fashionable, approach. Julia Restoin Roitfeld lauded her as 'the Queen of less is more' for investing in timeless, quality pieces.
