Chanel’s collarless tweed jackets are as iconic as they come—elegant, sophisticated, and, for many, the epitome of luxury. While the price tags can make your wallet sweat, these jackets remain some of the most coveted pieces in fashion, often selling out before you even have a chance to consider them. But if you’re a guy who’s been eyeing one and doesn’t want to deal with the side-eye, Louis Vuitton has a sleek alternative that delivers the same vibe with none of the judgment.

Chanel and Louis Vuitton jackets are both about top-tier craftsmanship. Chanel’s collarless tweed jacket, first introduced in 1954, has been constantly reinvented while keeping its signature boxy silhouette, textured weave, and iconic buttons intact. Even with four to five figure price tags, the demand hasn’t dipped. Its timeless design has inspired countless lookalike, with brands like Zara and Mango releasing their own versions—minus the Chanel name.


Now, Louis Vuitton has taken that same coveted formula and injected it into menswear, creating a piece that carries all of the structure, elegance, and personality of Chanel’s original—just with a bit more masculinity. For guys who might have found Chanel’s offerings a little too out of reach, LV’s jacket offers a way to achieve a similar high-end look without stepping too far outside their comfort zone.


Why are these types of jackets so popular? It’s simple: The jacket elevates any outfit, making even the most casual look feel like it was styled by a high-fashion insider. Throw it on over a shirt and some distressed shorts, and suddenly, you’re the picture of luxury. That’s the magic of the jacket—or, more accurately, the magic of Chanel.


Louis Vuitton is primed to make this jacket a cornerstone of its menswear collection, particularly as more men lean into bold, experimental fashion. With its more accessible price point compared to Chanel, the jacket is likely to fly off the shelves, offering luxury without the sticker shock.
