Agree. If a silhouette or item is classic enough, I don’t mind having repeats in a particular seasonal patterns, but some patterns and silhouettes are distinct enough that I don’t need too many.
Sometimes I hold onto a seasonal item for some time until the hype dies down before I wear it much: for example the under the sea dress. My issue is when dior doubles down on a pattern that doesn’t really resonate with me. Then I have to sit a few seasons out.
I find Chanel’s approach of different silhouettes and fabric might be less fashionable but it becomes a tiny bit harder to pinpoint the season or year.
These days, I prefer the simpler dior pieces that can coordinate with multiple pieces already in my wardrobe. Happily inspired by
@jp824: white dior cardigan jacket from this season coupled with an older dior skirt. Also goes with a pair of chanel sale pants from 2022.

ETA: I believe this was substantially less expensive in Courcheval and Paris than in NY, so lesson learned lol
