Princess Anne often raises eyebrows when it comes to her summer style. While she of course always looks elegant, the Princess Royal frequently baffles the public with her warm-weather wardrobe.
Last week, the 74-year-old donned two scarves during her annual summer jaunt to Scotland, while she frequently wears gloves in the height of summer.
The Princess Royal hasn't always been so out-there when it comes to her summer ensembles, though. An unearthed photo from 1966, when the Princess was 16, shows a young Anne embracing the warm weather in Jamaica, donning a white and yellow linen dress – and she certainly looks beautiful.

Fresh-faced and gazing at her father, Prince Philip, and brother, King Charles, Anne bears a striking resemblance to her daughter, Zara Tindall in the photo.
Mellow yellow
While Princess Anne's dress is totally different from anything we've seen in her since, yellow is a consistent shade in her royal wardrobe.
Over the years, King Charles' sister has worn yellow more than any other royal – she even wore the same yellow and blue coat eight times!

A 1988 trip to the Epsom Derby saw Princess Anne and her mother, Queen Elizabeth II, look nearly identical in matching lemon suits. We wonder if they planned their ensembles.
