A CHANEL JACKET & JEANS

Thursday, October 13, 2022

I’m always inspired to see how others style a Chanel jacket with jeans. It’s a look that’s perpetually chic but can be a bit predictable. Venturing outside the popular cropped, boxy silhouette, Tamu McPherson tweaks it just right with a long, collarless style. The striking feature is the embellishment. Paired with faded denim and sneakers, it makes me re-consider the versatility of a dressier Chanel jacket. Just swap the sneaker and jeans for a slim column dress for a fabulous evening look.

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I prefer to buy vintage or pre-owned Chanel jackets for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, the prices are more approachable. Second, I like the excitement of scoring a piece from older collections that are not readily available. Lastly, I personally consign my clothes and like the idea of fashion coming full circle and in constant rotation. My two current go to sites for pre-owned Chanel are Kern1 (getting one is like winning the lottery!) and RARCHIVE. They both specialize in Chanel jackets, photograph the pieces beautifully and offer the option of returns.
