Copycat Fashion: Jackie & Chanel



Copycat Fashion: Jackie & Chanel

Subtly elegant, glamorous, poised, lady-like, etc., etc., the list goes on! These are just a few of the many adjectives worthy of describing the essence of both Coco Chanel and Jackie O's fashion evolution. 






Their looks displayed a flawless perception of elegant womanly fashions, all laced heavily with both class and dignity. 



Both styles seemed to exhibit a plethora of elegance and beauty minus the typical glamour girl pairing of diamonds galore and expensive furs.


Their looks emulated feminine glamour in an effortless, non-overdone manner. Pearls to adorn their necks played for the perfect touch of elegance, and figure flattering dresses, all in pastels or neutral colors. 




The LBD was also a fond favorite of the two, especially when paired with strands of glossy white pearls! 



So, after taking into careful consideration the two's recipe of pearls, neutral colors, simple and flattering cut dresses, as well as Jackie's trademark big sunglasses... I have come up with a list of items reminiscent to the two fashion icon's very own looks! So, get ready to channel your inner Jackie and Chanel, darlings! ;) 


Let's start with pearls! These fine treasures of the sea always act as the perfect touch of lady-like elegance and poise to any look!

Last, but far from least, I have scouted out some of the most stunning "oversize sunglasses"! The perfect accessory for any outing or errand! Pair with a scarf on your head and you'll look just like Jackie! 


(1.) These oversize tortoise shell sunglasses by Keneth Cole immediately caught my eye! I love the depth of color at the top and how it just fades into a dark cream-color at the bottom! The contrasting hues offer such an eye-catching ombre look! The shape is also very similar to certain pairs worn by the first lady! Purchase at the link below for $50.00!






(2.) These oversize black shades won my attraction with their almost identical similarities to Jackie's trademark set of ink black sunglasses, the color and the shape are both very reminiscent of her look! Purchase for $50.00 at the link below!





(3.) I was ecstatic upon discovering these peach hued frames, the look combines two of Jackie's most radiant fashion looks, her subtle peach sheath dresses as well as her fondness for big sunglasses! The cat-eye shape also makes for a very 60's-esque look!
