Can Men Wear/Own Chanel?

[Enigma89]

Hello all, Big lurker, small time poster with a question about Chanel. I made the jump from peasant brands over to designer brands over this past year and have been enjoying the change. One company that has really stood out from other companies is Chanel. Any time I see a chanel purse I am always thinking of how classic they look and I can appreciate them, but do they have anything that us guys can wear? I looked through their website and it seems they focus almost completely on women. What do you guys think?

Did he have a boyfriend named Johnny Cakes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cakes

I believe most men who wear Chanel already "own it, honey."

Chanel not coach.

My mistake on the original post.

Aside from ties, I don't recall ever seeing Chanel clothing for men.

Chanel makes a few items for men every season so it is, sadly, entirely possible for you to get some Chanel homme stuff.

Are they named under a certain line or do you just have to get lucky and find it?

There's only a few pieces each season and they're under the Chanel name, call your nearest flagship and ask them if they can bring some of the pieces in. Prices are around the same as for the women pieces so 5K jackets galore. Keep in mind the target market is some very effeminate homosexual who always wanted to wear Chanel and talks with a lisp about his lipo. I'm down with our fruity friends but let's just say it's not a look anyone can pull off. That and I can't stand Chanel in general. I think Jeffrey in NYC carries some (figures) so you might also try there.

LOL, no he usually had a purpose for carrying the bag like for putting paperwork money or jewelry in it (he was a jeweler).

It didnt have a coach print ethier, it was just a canvas bag with minimal logo-ing.

Hamish Bowles used to run around in Chanel suits apparently.

Here are a couple Chanel knit ties, first on Oxxford, and then on DeBoise bespoke:

I'm not a fruity friend. More beefy. Well, very beefy.

Coach makes bags, shoes, and clothing for men.
