Whilst we’d all like to own a piece of Chanel, the £1000 + price tag for most of their items makes it no more than a fashion fantasy for most of us. However, with such simple, classic styles it’s easy to recreate the look at a fraction of the price.

The key to the look is simple, understated, and most importantly, monochrome. A pair of black and white ballet pumps have been seen in Chanel collections for decades. Pretty Ballerinas have this great square-toed, quilted pair, that come in a beige/cream colour with a black trim. They cost £145 and you can get them here or in their store in Mayfair, London.

ASOS have this Contrast Jersey Longline Cardigan which will add a touch of Chanel to any outfit. Complete with signature gold trim buttons, it can be worn with a casual weekend look or over an evening outfit. It costs £22.

Of course there are far more options than just plain green, but if you want to go for the originial and the best, look no further than a nice pair of Hunters. The number one choice for celebrities far and wide, Hunter boots have been around for nearly 200 years, and are an iconic British brand.

If you want to make a statement, these red ones are great. Bright and colourful, and far more interesting than green, these are guarenteed to many any outfit stand out. And of course, they’ll keep the rain out and keep your feet nice and warm. It’s £60 for a pair, but you get what you pay for, and these will definitely last countless summers.

This trend can be easily achieved through the use of muted toned dresses, wrap cardies and skirts so stick to washed out shades and for a fresh feel, team with white pieces.

To top the trend off perfectly however, you’ll need a pair of point-style ballerina pumps like these gorgeous ones from ACNE.

Available from their online store these ballet style pumps cost £190 and come in several different colours and styles.

Their muted tones also make them great for daytime wear – simply team up with a black pencil skirt and blouse for an easy office chic look.
