Article: Chanel believed in embracing new fashion and trying unusual combinations. She believed fashion was made to eventually become unfashionable, so take chances. This was her favorite color combination, as shown by her little black dress. Color blocking hats, scarves, sweaters, shirts, pants, shoes and coats creates definition and classic style. Once you have color blocking perfected with black and white, start adding brighter colors. Coco Chanel said, "Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportions." She liked jackets, purses, skirts and hems with straight lines. A cropped coat or a blazer can instantly add a designer look to an outfit. It doesn't have to be a Chanel fragrance, but it should be something that defines you as much as your clothing. Consider switching fragrances between summer and winter.
