Few garments are more instantly recognizable than the Chanel jacket. With clean lines and a lightweight silhouette, it emerged at the dawn of the 20th century under the vision of Coco Chanel. Gabrielle Chanel sought to craft a jacket that women could wear with ease while preserving femininity and charm.

The jacket became a fashion icon, and Karl Lagerfeld gave it renewed life at Chanel in 1983, reinterpreting its timeless silhouette across collections with remarkable reception.
Today, the jacket appears across many brands, yet its signature style remains instantly identifiable. The Zara lineup, for instance, features pieces that echo the classic look while offering fresh, contemporary twists.
As warmer weather arrives, this lightweight jacket with a breathable fabric becomes a versatile option. It pairs beautifully with a tailored suit, or can be worn casually over jeans and a white shirt. It feels timeless rather than old-fashioned.
You can’t live without these five Zara dresses for less than 20 euros.
