As Princess Diana grew into her royal style, she embraced casual yet feminine looks in her everyday life.

While dropping off her youngest son Prince Harry at school, Princess Diana looked effortlessly cool in an oversized Philadelphia Eagles varsity jacket.
She wore the custom-made piece multiple times throughout her life, though the designer later said she just liked the colors.
