Is Chanel too feminine FOR MEN?

Yes but the piece has to be masculine.I may be wrong, happy to be... you seem to be very label obsessed, asking our membership what they value instead of following your inclinations. It feels superficial, disingenuous; again I am happy to be wrong
I am so sorry if I am wrong, but the whole thread is coming across as an attempt to provoke, rather than a genuine attempt at getting style advice from our diverse community. At the end of the day, wear what YOU love!
Me too! The are oldies in the hi top converse style. Imho they can be worn by anyone provided the shoe fits. . .
If you’re looking for a traditionally masculine look, then maybe Chanel isn’t for you?
I’m a guy and I love Chanel for its feminine esthetic - the fun seasonal colors, the elegant tweeds, the puffy lamb skin quilts that double occasionally as stress balls… I think the whole cultural shift going on is that there’s nothing wrong with men adopting what’s traditionally been considered as “feminine” in the West. Men can be pretty, cute, whatever. It’s just clothes and bags - you wear whatever brings you joy, that extra boost of serotonin to get through life.
Otherwise, there are already tons of other fashion houses that have the look you’re looking for: Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, etc.

Pharrel Willaims was a style ambassador for Chanel, wrote a song about it & wore the clothes
If it works, it works & at the end of the day it's your $$$$, so you rule..

Always trust your gut feeling. If you feel it looks feminine, then it is for your taste. I happen to agree with you. For someone else it may be different. Depend on your own taste and opinion.
Not many men are, but that doesn't mean one can't find their own style & be stylish in a way that
is suited to them be it wearing Chanel or not.
There are no rules except for the wearer.. Be yourself, find yourself & wear what makes one happy
Might also add that Brad Pitt doesn't strike me as a clotheshorse however, when he wears a suit
just like the way David Beckham wears a suit, they each rock it, JMO
