31 Affordable Items I’m Buying in Order to Master the Classic Chanel Aesthetic

While many designers have gone through various aesthetic changes throughout the years, Chanel has always had the ability to expirement while staying close to the brand’s roots. There are a few items that are synonmous with the French house’s classic look— tweed skirt sets, quilted flap bags, slingbacks, and black-and-white swimsuits come to mind first.

With that, I couldn’t help but do a little deep-dive into Chanel’s runway collections (both vintage and recent) and find some affordable alts. Because while me and Sofia Richie may be the same age, a wardrobe of Chanel looks isn’t quite in my budget right now. Hours of scouring the internet later, I was left with 30 products that give the Chanel feel without topping $150. Keep scrolling to shop for yourself.
