Much has been said about the Princess of Wales’ style.

However, when it comes to accessories, one can always expect the best from the royal. From pearl earrings to suede pumps, her additional style choices never fail to complete her look with refined precision.
This has been the case since the former Duchess started dating Prince William. Back in 2007, the duo attended day one of the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival. The occasion oversaw the princess-to-be slip into a tweed ensemble, complete with blazer that was chicly nipped-in at the waist and teamed with a co-ordinating midi skirt.
She layered a striped pale blue shirt under the military green outfit choice, topping off her look with some wraparound Chanel sunglasses.
The shades injected an unexpected bolt of opulence into the royal’s aesthetic. She completed the race day look by wearing her brunette hair down loose in a silky style and pairing the set with some knee-high suede boots in a mocha hue.
The Chanel sunglasses in question featured a black design, the house’s iconic logo emblem in silver and a sleek rectangular shape. The epitome of Noughties nostalgia.
