Princess Anne has been embracing a more casual style of late, rocking jeans and a check shirt on a recent day out at the Badminton Horse Trials, and her latest look is equally laidback.
The Princess Royal followed in her daughter Zara Tindall's fashion footsteps, opting to wear a pair of flared white jeans during a visit to Northern Ireland – just weeks after Zara rocked a similar style.
Anne, 73, proved that white jeans, which are timelessly popular with London's Sloane Ranger style set, work for every age – the preppy look never goes out of style.

Given that she was strolling through fields, we feel it was bold of Anne to wear white jeans – imagine the grass stains!
Princess Anne's flared trousers
The Princess Royal's love of flares is a new development in her wardrobe. We're used to seeing King Charles' sister in slim-fit trousers and loafers, but her newfound appreciation of flares and bootcut jeans is a welcome addition to her much-admired style.

Zara Tindall and Princess Anne aren't the only royals who have shown a penchant for white jeans. Prince Edward's wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, has been known to wear white jeans for public engagements, while Meghan Markle's love of a monochrome look means white jeans are a staple for her.
