What is chic? Defining this French idea can certainly be a challenge—and perhaps even our lifetime endeavor here at Style.com/Arabia. “I think chic is a beautiful word and one of the most difficult to try to explain, because I think you are born chic,” former Vogue Paris Editor, Carine Roitfeld, has said. “You cannot be chic. It is something you cannot learn.”
However, a “chic” allure certainly involves a dose of both nonchalance and humor. Allow this to illustrate our point: the Chanel plexiglass clutch shaped like the iconic Numéro 5 bottle. Fun and daring, it is a delightful (and memorable) accessory for your special high society occasions. Scent optional.
