And always with a step forward, he had already worn the color block models. What has always conquered were not only the many models that Diana kept in her wardrobe, but also the ability to know how to match them: on shorts, to tone down a formal combination if the occasion was official but for relaxation, take it easy , or under a blazer, a habit absolutely to copy.

Zara, H&M, Falconeri, Stradivarius: turtlenecks, cropped and oversized models

Let’s start with the Zara model which in a cropped version, in a pastel pink / white mix is ​​the perfect synthesis of the vintage taste of the Lady D with its floral pattern , and the new trends. And it is immediately a must have!

– The ribbed models, on the other hand, in the oversize version and cardigan with buttons in mother-of-pearl shades, have always been the workhorse of the H&M collection that mixes neutral and pastel colors, including wisteria: a collection perfectly anchored to the trends of the latest winter catwalks . But in addition to wool, cashmere also deserves a special place, and for quality and versatility, as well as for a bright color palette, you can turn your gaze to the new Falconeri collection.

– And if multicolor has stolen your heart for months now, perhaps also recalling those unicorn fantasies and shades that seem not to give up on trends, the Stradivarius collection is a celebration of the color of its possible mix and match in mixed nuances. And there is no shortage of vintage models, starting with the sheepskin pattern that makes us think so much about Lady D.
