There are certain wardrobe staples that never really go out of style, and if anyone proved that practical dressing can still look incredibly chic, it was Princess Diana. Whether she was heading to the gym (lest we forget her coveted cycling shorts), watching polo matches or spending time in the countryside, the late royal had a knack for making even the most functional pieces feel effortlessly stylish.
One item she returned to time and time again? A pair of classic green Hunter wellies. Originally designed for muddy walks, the coveted boots have since become a cult classic, thanks in part to the Princess herself.
While wellies were once reserved for festivals and rainy dog walks, fashionable people have embraced them in a much bigger way over the last few seasons. Alongside barn jackets, waxed coats and riding boots, they've become a key part of the heritage charm that's been spotted everywhere, yet, Hunter's footwear offering reigns supreme.
Hunter Hunter Women's Original Tall Rain Boots - Black - 7
The protective clothing brand remains one of the most recognisable names when it comes to waterproof footwear, with its Original Tall Boot continuing to be a bestseller. It's easy to see why the style has endured for decades - it works just as well with tailored separates as it does with black leggings and cashmere socks on crisp autumn mornings.
So, whether you're planning countryside weekends, walking the dog or simply want a practical boot that won't date, Princess Diana's favourite wellies are proof that some wardrobe investments really do stand the test of time. The best part? All of these styles are now on sale on Amazon.
