Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread

[ButchChanel]

New to me long cardigan jacket from 11A. It’s not a true jacket since there’s no lining, but it’s very closely knitted for a “cardigan”. My gosh, now I know why all the hype for this collection, and this is only a glimpse into Karl’s genius.

I am a poor model for this style and it looks so much better by itself

beautiful! How was the sizing for you on this?

I am in between sizes and this is the bigger size for me. It’s a good fit for shoulder/chest but a little bit roomy in the waist area.

Got the basic white button down but not really impressed. It’s 100% cotton but feels super thin and extra stiff like it’s also a linen. Not sure it’s worth keeping for 3700…



Edit: I didn’t try this on in the store just ordered via text with my SA. I’ll attach a photo to show you what it looked like on the runway… I wish it came in black!

I would personally return it. (A white shirt is a disposable garment regardless of price point). The buttons are fun but aside from that there’s no remarkable features.



That crease isn’t doing it any favours either.

I also am not sure about this one. It’s so stiff and runs very very oversized. I like the runway look purely for vacation but the fabric needs to be a bit more fluid

I wasn’t expecting the oversized part! I am usually a 36-38 and feel like I need a 34. You are right about the stiff fabric. I tried it on again and it just doesn’t feel good either. Ughhhhhh ok I learned to try the runway clothes before buying

I agree it’s absolutely massive. It does give the look of the runway when you wear the set but you’re right that it doesn’t feel good 🤦‍♀️

IMHO for 1/4 of the price you can have a made-to-measure white shirt made with the best cotton in the market...

Just wondering, if a jacket needs tailoring do you always go to Chanel for it or would a reputable tailor be a good secondary option? I recently purchased a vintage jacket and want some small alterations to be made. I don’t currently have a Chanel SA so it seems like a hassle to go to the boutique.

Personally, if it's vintage and you have a trusted tailor, I'd be ok with that.

Thank you!! I actually purchased it just to test out my steamer before I put my own Chanel jackets in there. However now that I have it, I like it a lot and I want to wear it.

Thank you for all the feedback and advice! I returned my white button down blouse from the latest collection and found this cute gem at the store

Burgundy crewneck from 23A. Super cozy and thin and IMO a timeless piece

Finally spring weather, first time wearing the jeans.

Just had to chip in with my pink Versailles jacket. These details are still so beautiful even though the color has faded.

I'm loving these 'archive' pieces, this is an amazing indoor/outdoor piece. Don't save it for best just wear and wear and wear. A beautiful Chanel piece is forever and ever
