This Princess Diana Approved Pant Trend Will Soon Reappear |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

What goes around comes around. In the '50s and '60s, pedal pushers peaked in popularity. (Say that five times fast.) The era's biggest stars wore them, including Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly. Since then, they've gone in and out of style, notably surging in the '80s and again in the early 2000s. I haven't worn them since middle school, but I have a feeling that's about to change.

While browsing Reformation's new arrivals, I stumbled upon a pair of pink gingham pedal pushers that immediately made me think of Princess Diana. The late icon wore an incredibly similar pair in July 1986 at Highgrove House styled with a coordinating pink sweater. Reformation's new pants go against the grain because the last several years have been marked by full-length, baggy silhouettes, and slim-fit, cropped pants have fallen by the wayside. Thanks to Reformation's endorsement, however, I think pedal pushers are due for a major comeback this spring. Scroll down to shop the Reformation pair in question as well as other options inspired by the people's princess.
