Prince Philip died on Friday at the age of 99.
Though he was famously Queen Elizabeth II's husband, he was also a fashion icon in his own right.
From tailored suits to sportswear and sunglasses, Philip had a strong sense of personal style.

The Duke of Edinburgh was many things to the public, one of which being an example of sartorial excellence.
