How to Dress Like a Real Princess

Though dressing up like a real princess may have seemed like an impossible task when you were a kid, what with Cinderella having her own carriage and glass slippers and Belle wearing the most luxurious gown you’ve ever set your eyes on, dressing up like a real princess from the real world really isn’t as hard as you thought it was going to be. With a few tweaks to your wardrobe and overall dressing style and fashion aesthetic, you’ll be able to give off very strong princess vibes that will definitely impress those around you—let’s dive right into it!

1. Don’t wear tacky clothes

Since this guide is going to tell you how to dress like a princess on an everyday basis (and not just on special occasions), we’re going to walk you through how you can look like royalty even on regular days. For starters, you need to invest in a few pieces of quality clothing. The notion that royals never reuse the same clothes again might be true for some of them, but some of the most loved royals have been individuals who didn’t shy away from wearing the same clothes more than once, proving that having money doesn’t mean you have to waste it on a million outfits you’re never going to wear again. 

The best way to do this is by forming a basic wardrobe with a few classic pieces. This could be brown and black trousers, white shirts, coats, cotton skirts, stockings, and blazers. If you live in colder regions, you can also invest in a handful of well-fitted sweaters. The key to dressing like a real princess is not in choosing clothes that are super expensive and over your budget, but in finding clothes that don’t look tacky or like something your teenage self would wear. Going for warm and neutral tones is a good idea, and also shopping for clothes that come in solid colors is better than finding multi-coloured clothes. You’ll also want to get a few pieces of classic footwear, like pointed toe flats, classic black heels, and a pair of white sneakers. 

2. Find the right jewelry

One of the best ways to elevate your entire outfit is by wearing unique and minimal pieces of jewelry that still stand out and make the entire outfit look more complete. You’d rarely ever see a princess step out without wearing some kind of jewelry—ear drops, a thin necklace, rings, bracelets, and of course, tiaras when the occasion calls for it. The important thing to remember is to not overdo it, and to wear the right pieces for the right outfits. One way to make this easier is by picking out a few select pieces that will go with any outfit. Diamondere’s citrine rings are one example of the kind of stones and jewelry designs that will go with any outfit, especially formal attire. 

3. Use handbags as accessories

You’d never find a princess carrying anything other than a handbag, no matter where they go. Handbags are a necessity to tie the whole outfit together, and to also use as a fashion statement instead of being empty handed. It’s a good idea to start investing in a few pieces of quality handbags—all you have to do is follow the same principle of not getting anything that looks tacky, funky, or too flashy. It’s best to stick to basic colors or neutral tones as this gives the handbag a more expensive feel and can easily blend in with the kind of outfits described above. 

Just remember to hold the handbag with class, carry yourself with grace, and always have a smile on your face and you’ll pull off the look of a princess with ease!
