Memorable Fashion Rules from Coco Chanel

From the woman who famously said “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous” sprang a wealth of memorable fashion rules. Here are some of my favorites from original style icon, Coco Chanel. What are yours?

“I can’t understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little, if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that’s the day she has a date with destiny and it’s best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”

“A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.”

Chanel No. 5

“The best color in the whole world is the one that looks best on you.”

“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!”

Coco Chanel, The Early Years

“A woman with good shoes is never ugly!”
