I’ll say it loud and proud: I am a Chanel girl. It’s not just about the bags (okay, maybe it is about the bags) — it’s more like a mindset. Ever since I first heard Coco Chanel’s famous words, “To be irreplaceable, one must always be different”, it was like she was speaking directly to my soul. Chanel girl aesthetic is iconic yet never cookie-cutter and that’s exactly the vibe I am aiming for.
For me, having a Chanel girl identity means knowing exactly who I am, or at least confidently figuring it out, one bag at a time. It’s about a blend of classic and bold and knowing what truly speaks to my personality. And while some people fall in love with trends, Chanel girls like me strive to make our bags THE trend. Let’s say, if there’s a Chanel Bag in the room, you can bet it’s already caught my eye. Am I obsessed? Maybe. But if you’re a Chanel girl, you get it.
A quick peek into the article:
The “Chanel Girl Energy”
Here’s the thing: having a Chanel girl energy isn’t reserved for those with endless collections. It’s a spirit, a vibe, and a love for something endless. Some of us save months for that dream Chanel bag, some of us are desperately hunting vintage treasures, and some of us are still pinning and planning for the day we finally hold that quilted beauty. But no matter where we’re at, our Chanel girl identity is real.
In all honesty, though, being a Chanel girl without her bag is like Paris without the Eiffel Tower. Sure, it’s still beautiful but something is missing. For us, our Chanel bags are not just accessories, they’re little reflections of who we are and our mood for the day. For example, when I wear my black classic 11.12 flap bag, I’m channelling my inner Audrey Hepburn – classy, effortless, and ready to conquer the world (or at least look chic doing my errands) But when I switch to my white, stunning Boy Bag, suddenly I feel like I’m on my Runway. It’s a little tougher, and edgier, and definitely gives me the confidence to take on whatever the day throws at me.
Having a Chanel bag is like carrying a little piece of your personality on your arm and trust me, that always gets noticed.
What Does Your Chanel Bag Style Say About You?
So, what exactly is your Chanel bag saying about you? Chanel girl personality is real after all. You know your bag speaks volumes, even when you’re not saying a word. Each bag brings its own energy and we all have that one (or more) that sets our mood for the day.
My all-time favorite is the classic 11.12 Flap bag. If you’re rocking this one girl, it means you have a natural air for elegance and know your worth. You define your own trends and we’re here for it!
If you’re channeling the Chanel Boy Bag vibe, it means you like it bold, and edgy, and you’re here to make a statement. You’re a confident fashion personality, you don’t do cookie-cutter and you prefer to stand out rather than blend in. More power to you ladies!
If you want to carry a Chanel Gabrielle bag, it means you’re free-spirited and adventurous. You like to keep a balance between tough and chic. You’re the girl who’s ready for anything.
For my girlies, who can’t live without their staple Wallet On Chains, count me as one of you. We value simplicity with a side of elegance. We like to keep things light but we never compromise on quality.
Where are my Grand Shopping Tote gals at? We know you’ve got a busy, fabulous life and your tote is a trusty Chanel sidekick. You need a bag that can carry it all and the GST is always up for the challenge, isn’t it? Honestly, if this bag had a cape, it’d be flying high with you.
Team “Timeless Black” or Team “Pop of Color”?
Alright now let’s talk color. Are you all about that classic, timeless, Black Chanel vibe or do you prefer to spice things up with a pop of color?
If you’re team timeless black, you’re probably the type who knows black goes with everything, so why risk it, right? It’s a no-brainer. Black will always remain relevant and you’ll never meet a Chanel girl second-guessing her black bag. It’s never too much, but always enough. There’s just something about a black Chanel bag that can’t be explained like it’s a power move. And of course, we Chanel girls are all about making an impact, no words necessary.
But If you’re team Pop of Color, honey, you’re bringing the energy. Whether it’s a fiery red, a soft Pastel pink, or a zesty navy blue, you’re showing the world you like to keep it fresh and vibrant. You’ve got a playful vibe going on, and you love to shake things up. After all, that’s what fashion is truly about, isn’t it? To not be afraid to stand out and bring forth what’s truly you.
Mini to Large- Which Chanel Bag Size Do You Prefer?
Coming to the sizes. Personally, I’m a “go big or go home” kind of girl. I need all the room in the world to fit everything I might possibly need (and a few things I probably don’t?) and when that mood strikes, I usually take out my GST or the 2.55 reissue. I feel safe and sorted out with my large bags at hand but hey, that doesn’t mean I’ll never wear a mini bag.
Chanel mini bags have all the hype at the moment. With the “less is more” movement going on, these cuties are the epitome of small fashion right now. There’s something so effortlessly chic about a mini Chanel that says “I’m here for the good times and I don’t need to lug around half my life to have them”
How to Channel Your Inner Chanel Girl Aesthetic?
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s talk about how to channel your inner Chanel girl aesthetic. First things first, be unapologetically yourself. Whether you’re wearing it bold and edgy or soft and chic, own your vibe. There’s no one else who can do you better than you and that’s exactly the energy Coco Chanel intended, right?
Second, take in the whole vibe of your bag. Invest in pieces that speak to your soul and will last through every season. Your bag has the power to transform your overall look—remember that when you style it.
Lastly, wear your Chanel bag with the pride it deserves. You’ve worked hard and spent your hard-earned money to get it, you walk around like you own it.
Your Chanel bag reflects your journey, your hustle, and the reward that comes with it. So whether it’s your first Chanel or your tenth, you’ve earned the spot in the Chanel club.
