Joules just launched its very own version of Princess Diana’s iconic sheep jumper for under £60
Princess Diana’s sheep print jumper remains one of her most iconic looks to date, and now Joules has launched its very own slogan version that’s a must-have for autumn
by Faith Richardson · The MirrorWhen you think of Princess Diana, there are probably a few outfits that spring to mind. Her black revenge dress, of course. Maybe her oversized sweatshirt and cycling shorts combo. But one that will almost instantly spring to mind is her red jumper emblazoned with sheep motifs.
The late Princess of Wales wore the jumper all the way back in 1981, and fans of the original can still snap it up from Rowing Blazers, with the Warm & Wonderful Women's Fitted "Diana Edition" Cotton Sheep Sweater setting you back £180. However, if you’re looking for more of a Diana-inspired look than an exact replica, you’ll be all over Joules’ brand new What The Flock Jumper , £59.95.

The perfect combination of charming and cheeky – just like Diana’s black sheep version, the Joules What The Flock Jumper is perfect for making a statement this autumn. Its material includes 5% wool, which will help keep you plenty warm and cosy whilst still being breathable and comfortable to wear. However it also includes a combination of recycled polyester and acrylic which ensure it’s much easier to take care of than pure wool, as it’s machine washable and less likely to shrink or become distorted.
It has a super soft feel that’s ideal for snuggling up against the chilly autumn weather, and its quirky and fun design means you can stand out with minimal effort. The crew neckline is ideal for layering, as you can easily allow a shirt collar or tie-neck blouse to pop out of the top, and the deep ribbed cuffs and hem give it a classic touch that’ll never go out of style.
You can follow in Diana’s footsteps and pair it with some white trousers and a white blouse with a black ribbon fastened at the neck, or go for a more modern twist with a pleated mini skirt, tights and chunky boots. It’s also a great addition to a cosy country walk outfit, with a pair of jeans and wellies as you tackle the mud.
The Joules What The Flock Jumper is available at special retailers including Charlie’s, where you can snap it up in sizes 10-22, or directly from the Joules website where you can get your hands on it in sizes 6-26.
If sheep aren’t quite your thing but you want to stick to the countryside theme, we’re also a big fan of this Urban Outfitters Kimchi Blue Duck Knit Jumper , £49, which is emblazoned with two knitted ducks. It also has a cute collared neckline and a dainty cloud-shaped pattern surrounding it, making it the perfect whimsical addition to your knitwear drawer.
