Matthieu Blazy shut down New York City (well, the old Bowery subway station, to be exact) to debut his second collection for Chanel. The house’s Métiers d’art show captured the bustling energy of downtown Manhattan, with models strutting off an actual subway car and down the platform in myriad looks. Think: the lady who lunches in a classic black-and-white tweed jacket and skirt, the business mogul in her suit and tie, and the socialite heading to a gala in a fringe dress.

There was something for the modern woman to wear on every occasion. Naturally, ELLE editors are already taking notes and weaving some of those styling moments into our own everyday lives. Ahead, discover the Coco-inspired styling tips we’re replicating, ASAP.

The Peekaboo Shirt

Jeans and a sweater are a no-brainer outfit formula during colder months. But there’s one simple trick that takes it from basic to thoughtfully effortless: layering a high-neck T-shirt underneath a quarter-zip. Letting the wardrobe essential peek out beneath knitwear adds a clean visual contrast that feels intentional yet still casually cool.

The Undone Fun

Menswear-inspired suiting has been trending, but it feels fresh again with undone layers. Instead of buttoning that crisp shirt or knotting that tie, let them hang loose for a softer, more nonchalant effect—très Chanel.

The Check Mix

The fashion industry is mad for plaid right about now. The easiest way to avoid the overdone “fall uniform” is to mix and match prints and textures, like Chanel’s clever pairing of checks, tweed, and denim. It keeps the look graphic, unexpected, and decidedly not granola.

The Investment

The vest is evolving into sculptural, more impactful silhouettes. A long embellished style is the kind of investment (get it?) that instantly elevates whatever you pair it with. Even a plain white T-shirt reaches couture-level status with the reliable layer.
