Getting the opportunity to wear a head-to-toe Chanel outfit is a luxury that few of us will ever know, but the beauty of fashion is that it doesn’t live in a vacuum. We all get to witness a collection as soon as it comes down a runway, and that collection will inevitably affect what we wear for that season—and sometimes even years to come.
It goes without saying that the Chanel runways are very influential. And while the prices of the collections may not be all that accessible, some of the outfit ideas actually are. I gladly took another long, hard look at the F/W 23 Chanel collection since it’s been a long eight months since it made its debut. Within the collection you’ll find lots of Chanel’s signature tweed, as well as a mix of other textures ranging from satin to velvet to lace to leather. If you’re looking for cool, quirky ways to style your winter sweaters, you’ve come to the right place. The looks I chose to draw winter outfit ideas from for this story are simple and elegant, and you may even already own pieces similar to those they’re made up of.
