That cardi looks like it would be cute over a simple black dress

Hello Chanel friends! Such an exciting time with pictures of new item try-ons! Wanted to check in on the jacket discussion- so happy to get your feedback ari. Regarding the white jacket from last year, I have it as well and agree that the trim/sleeves (VERY bulky) was of concern when I first saw the jacket. But I loved the classic design and the black and white color combo. I altered it a great deal on the sleeves to assure I would be comfortable when on the computer etc. I was so scared the white sleeves would get ruined in ordinary day to day tasks so I made them shorter as well as taking out all the bulk in the shoulder. This helped me turn the jacket into a super wearable almost cardigan like piece that I slip on now over just about anything- great over printed dresses, knit pieces even just a simple cashmere shell and pants (thumbs up for Agnona also by the way- love their cashmere basics!) The pic below (sorry so small, not sure how I did that) is after alterations. Please forgive the outfit I had worn another jacket to work but slipped on the white jacket to post this comment. I am sure this is not how VV wanted this jacket to look but it works for me and I wear it all the time. View attachment 5247556

Definitely looks 100% better. I shy away from touching up the jackets, but maybe I should give it a try. Love it on you!

On the new pink/black tweed jacket, it is definitely longer than the white one above. Sleeve length is also super important here as well.
Chanel gives us somewhat conflicting views on sleeve length (the runway shotView attachment 5247562View attachment 5247564 on the left shows a much different look than the shot from the internal sales pics. For me, I will shorten them to the wristbone as on the pic on the right.

Is it somewhat fitted, any way I hope they received it as I’m going tomorrow for the cruise presentation…

I had tried the pumpkin long cashmere cardigan from fall but decided on this shorter version instead. Wearing it casually here but I wanted to show you a close up of the beautiful buttons! This sweater has super soft, a wonderful quality of cashmere and it fit perfectly without any alterations !! I thought I would get more wear out of the shorter style.

ari, this is the pic of the white cardigan I am getting from Cruise. It looks SO MUCH better in the body than on the hangar ,( I found this pic elsewhere on the forum so credit to the original poster). I would really appreciate your input on styling this , what pieces from the collection would you select for it? It is so soft and comfortable and I would encourage anyone who is interested to try it- there are several styles to choose from in this knit. View attachment 5247569View attachment 5247570

I’d love to try it! Let’s hope they have it. I think it would be perfect with this gorgeous heavy silk blouse/or without/ and these pants from the same heavy silk pants

I also prefer to wear not very casual styles with cardigans prefer to style it with silky blouse and shiny formal pants and high heeled shoes . Jackets I wear with jeans and sneakers during the weekend .

Thank you! I did manage to snag it from my SA in London in size 36. She told me many things are sold out already! And it's not even launched yet.



It was definitely on the light side which is perfect. I can wear it year round. It's a silk blend material. The shoulders are a bit big but I have relatively broad shoulders for my frame (I'm 5'3 105 lb). I usually wear 34/36 and this one was a 38. I ended up going with a 36, no alterations needed.

Congratulations. Thank you for the info. I am going to try it in Frankfurt on Nov 19. Will update . I love the sleeve length on this jacket and thank you for confirming that it’s light.

I got the longer version of the white cardigan from NM. Worried about longevity of the threads though. Folks that have seen this/similar cardigans, did you see such uneven threads?

 

[pigleto972001]

I’m hoping to head back and see some new stuff. I’ll peek at it if I can ! That actually looks a bit unraveled !

I received my dove cardigan but it’s going back. I didn’t like the fit so I didn’t even bother taking a pic, plus I found it scratchy. The buttons were a disappointment too.View attachment 5246972
Maybe she was going for a distressed shabby chic effect but the painted over button just seems cheap to me. I was able to try @kipp ’s beautiful jacket but it was too small (34)and also @911snowball ’s pink jacket which was too big (38)View attachment 5246974View attachment 5246975
This is from luxe departments on Instagram. Does anyone have mod pix? I tried it on in a large size but my size is coming soon hopefully. It’s about the same price as my metiers jacket but without all the details so I’m not sure if I can justify the price. View attachment 5246976

Oh my the pink jacket is heavenly and gorgeous! My knees start weakening when it forms to pink chanel!

could this be intentional?

 

[911snowball]

ari, that blouse is gorgeous! It is so versatile, it would look fabulous with the cardigan and so many other things too! I have asked my SA if she can find these items, they are timeless for sure. Thank you so much for this advice!!!

 

[pkwc2]

could this be intentional?

Yeah, I wanted to check if this is seen in other pieces too.

 

[pigleto972001]

Sorry ! The cardigan was gone when I went back to see things. I can see if anymore come in next time I go I zoomed in on the previous pic. It looks similar.

The matching skirt arrived for the KS jacket and it was pretty !!!!! The suit is beautiful together. The slit is high though goodness. And the lesage jacket is lovely and much cuter on than the hanger. The 38 which is a size down does fit. The skirt tho wow. Tight I’ll spare you the photos !

@911snowball, love the white and black jacket on you and your tips for loosening uo the structure!
