The Sweatshirt with Cycling Shorts 

Even before the prevalence of ‘athleisure’ and before throwing on a sweatshirt over cycling shorts became a norm, Princess Diana made casual look good. She sported an oversized sweatshirt with a pair of pastel cycling shorts and white shoes. Diana’s outfits, but more particularly this look, have been an inspiration for many trends today.

The Cannes Film Festival Gown
