How to Dress Like Princess Diana for Halloween (and Get the Entire Costume on Amazon)

The one day of the year that we can channel our inner royal to the most literal extent without raising (that many) eyebrows? Halloween, of course. But this year we’re keeping it retro and are planning on embracing the ever-iconic spirit of Princess Diana with casual dad-sneaks and bike-shorts. Even better? We’re doing it on a budget, with only items available on Amazon. Behold:

The Inspiration

The year was 1995 and the look of the era could only be described as tube-sock chic. Some may even argue this iconic Diana outfit inspired many a Yeezy Collection. It definitely inspired Hailey Bieber to recreate the look. In reality, Diana was leaving the Chelsea Harbour Club—a fitness club in London, England. (Explains a lot.) Regardless, it makes for a rather creative Halloween costume, from the oversize sweatshirt and Day-Glo bike shorts, down to the chunky kicks. Friends, where there’s a will, there’s a way…and also an Amazon cart full of Diana-esque dupes.

Amazon

Hanes Men’s Ecosmart Fleece Sweatshirt

Google “Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt” and you’ll find exact replicas of Lady Di’s fleece…for upwards of $40. We’ll settle on this plain $6 version that we’ll probably (OK, definitely) wear again.

Neon bike shorts? Check. And you thought only a royal could rock these babies.

Amazon

Nike Everyday Cushion Crew Socks

Might as well stock up while you’re at it, right?

Admit it, you had these in your cart anyway. We won’t judge.
