Boden's brand new sheep jumper is a must-have for royal fans - and it's now 20% off
The Heather jacquard jumper pays homage to Princess Diana's most famous look


Boden is one of the very best British clothing brands, so I like to keep a keen eye on the new-in section. And among the classic Breton stripe tops, flattering midi dresses and quirky trench coats they do so well, I spotted this adorable knit.
The repeated sheep print brings to mid the iconic 'black sheep' sweater by Muir and Osborne that Princess Diana famously wore, which sold for $1.1 million a couple of years ago. She was pictured in it on two occasions in the early Eighties, both times layering a white collared blouse underneath.
When you think about Princess Diana's best style moments, a few things spring to mind - perhaps pussybows, polka dots and pearls, but her red sheep print jumper has to be one of the most memorable. You can still buy a version of it by Warm & Wonderful (Muir and Osborne's brand), but at just under £80 with a discount code, Boden's fresh take on the trend is certainly very tempting. Especially with Easter just around the corner...
Shop the Boden sheep jumper
The colour of this jumper is spot on for spring, and the sheep motif is just adorable. It's got 4% cashmere and yet is machine washable, and it needs only a pair of jeans and a white blouse underneath.
One reviewer wrote: "Ordered on Friday night. Arrived Sunday. I work remotely and must have had 20 compliments online. I love it. It's warm and fun". And there's even a matching kids version available for just under £30!
If you miss out on this Diana-inspired option, the Heather knit is also up for grabs in dog or cat prints too.

woman&home's Royal Editor Emma Shacklock tells us why this cutesy knit is still talked about four decades on: "Princess Diana’s sheep jumper is one of those royal clothing pieces that has reached iconic status - just like her so-called ‘Revenge Dress’.
"Cosy and retro-feeling, this jumper is one of those pieces that you could easily throw on with jeans to make a put-together daytime look in minutes and Boden’s new season sheep jumper can be styled like this too. I love the aqua colour for spring and the bigger pattern really makes this stand out."
