Looks Inspired by Matthieu Blazy’s Viral Chanel Spring Collection
Blazy’s debut for Chanel didn’t just land, it shifted fashion. We saw relaxed tweed, effortless denim, layered pearls, lacey slip dresses and that unmistakable blend of Parisian polish with real-life wearability. The collection felt aspirational yet wearable. And celebrities, stylists, critics, and influencers alike all agree, it was a fashion home run. While we adore each and every meticulous piece that sashed the runways, I wanted to recreate a few key Chanel-inspired outfits, blending high-street with mid-range pieces that deliver the same energy.
Look 1: The Relaxed Tweed + Denim Formula
This is the look that dominated social and street style, a roomy tweed jacket, white tank, and relaxed denim. It’s classic Chanel but stripped of formality and recreated to feel wearable for everyday activities. made wearable. Opt for a tweed jacket or structured cardigan worn over a white tank and paired with relaxed, wide or straight leg denim and a polished pair of leather or suede ballet flats and finish with a Blazy-coded accent of layered gold jewelry or pearls.
Tara’s Style Edit: This outfit works because it doesn’t try too hard. The contrast between the classically elegant tweed with casual denim is everything.
Look 2: The Modern Flapper
Blazy reintroduced 1920s-inspired silhouettes with drop waists, fluid shapes, and movement-driven pieces like Flapper style dresses, but refreshed without any stiffness or corsetry. Reimagine these looks with a fluid or slip-style dress with lace details, ruffles, or a drop waist design. Layer a lightweight, oversized blazer or cardigan over the dress and finish with a pointed toe heel and layered jewelry for added sophistication.
Tara’s Style Edit: The key here is ease. If it feels too “costumey,” you’ve gone too far. Keep everything modern and not too put together, like an unbuttoned cardigan.
Look 3: The Layered Minimalist
Blazy’s Chanel is layered but not loud. Think tailored pieces styled with intention like tee shirts under knits, and layered jewelry over everything, in other words, structure softened by movement. Achieve this look for less with an oversized blazer on top of a relaxed oxford shirt or cotton tee, paired with tailored, wide-leg trousers, and patent leather flats. Mix textures like cotton + wool + silk for dimension and definitely add some layered necklaces over your shirts, not under.
Tara’s Style Edit: The real luxury isn’t the label, it’s the restraint. Stick to 2–3 colors max and let the layering do the work.
