Words by Ellie McKenna

When you think of trendsetting royals, admittedly, you might not immediately think of King Charles III. However, even Charles himself acknowledged his accidental status as a fashion icon at the launch party of London Collections: Men fashion week at St James’s Palace in 2012. “I have lurched from being the best-dressed man to being the worst-dressed man,” he said. “Meanwhile, I have gone on — like a stopped clock — and my time comes around every 25 years.”

Over the years, he has provided us with many iconic looks leaving us no choice but to find you Charles-inspired Spring looks. Although you may think this is just for men, you are mistaken – anyone can pull these off!

This ‘Lyla Belted Jumpsuit’ from Phase Eight is channelling Charles in his favourite holiday outfit, the safari suit, back in 1984- Safari chic is coming back!

Prince Charles wasn’t just known for his tweed suits but also his effortless smart casual looks he pulled out in the warmer months! We took inspiration from Charles’ relaxed style in the late 70s and found this perfect duo in Zara Men, but anyone could pull off this look!
