Chanel Black Wool Tweed Mini Skirt

As much as he often—and successfully—did, Karl Lagerfeld was evidently not trying to reinvent the wheel with this mini skirt. A beloved from the Maison’s Spring 2004 runway, it was crafted in France from black tweed with a contrasting white stripe that runs vertically. Though simple by design, it’s a confident testament to the same elegance and class the maison was founded upon over a century ago. Keep polished with a white blouse and a timeless heel—bonus points if you pull either from Chanel’s archives.
