-SPECIAL- “CHANEL” 05AWmicro houndstooth tweed wide trousers

We are pleased to introduce an exceptional classic tweed trouser that captures the spirit of the 2005 AW season from CHANEL, which inherited the free and elegant image of women Gabrielle Chanel envisioned and evolved by adding contemporary interpretations of each era at the hands of Karl Lagerfeld.

Featuring a finely tailored houndstooth-like woven pattern across the entire surface, this piece embodies CHANEL’s signature tweed refinement while translating it into a wide trouser silhouette—classic in essence, yet exuding a distinctly modern, powerful presence.

The outer fabric is crafted from tweed material with fine texture and a gently brushed feel. Its depth-rich color palette, including tones from gray to brown, is particularly appealing for how it softens and shifts in appearance depending on the way the light falls. Tweed at CHANEL is often associated with the impression of a jacket; however, by presenting it in the format of trousers, you can enjoy the Maison’s elegant sensibility in a more everyday, refined form.

The silhouette offers just the right amount of ease around the waist and is defined by a wide line that falls straight toward the hem. Without clinging too closely to the body’s lines, it creates natural room in the way it frames your stance. On the front, the inclusion of fabric volume—like a tuck—gives the trousers a three-dimensional construction. Rather than appearing flat, the cloth creates beautiful shadows when you move, reflecting the superior patternmaking quality that is unmistakably CHANEL.

Decorative buttons bearing the CC logo are placed near the waist. The rope-like edging around the outer edge and the central logo add a confident brand presence while remaining understated. Rather than boldly displaying a large logo, the Maison’s codes are embedded in a position that comes subtly into view when worn—allowing you to enjoy the completion of these classic trousers while also experiencing the distinctive glamour of CHANEL.

The interior is lined with a smooth lining, providing careful tailoring that maintains the tweed’s distinctive character while also considering how the garment sits on the skin and how the silhouette is formed. The size is marked as 40. While making the most of the well-structured wide silhouette, by adjusting the waist position, it can be worn in a well-balanced, elegant manner.

As the tag confirms the season code 05A, the item number P26761V17017, the management code M40990, and the MADE IN ITALY indication, this is a piece we can confidently present as CHANEL for the 2005 AW season. In 2005, Karl Lagerfeld was at the helm, and this period coincides with the time when classic Maison codes were being rebuilt into more contemporary proportions—making it an especially valuable piece that lets you enjoy the iconic tweed as wide trousers.

In particular, incorporating CHANEL’s tweed not as a jacket but as trousers adds a fresh depth to your style. While retaining a luxurious sense of texture, it never becomes overly formal, and can be naturally integrated into a dignified mode look in everyday life. As a cornerstone of your wardrobe, it is a piece you will enjoy for years to come.

We especially recommend it for those who value classic elements but find typical trousers lacking, and for those who wish to subtly incorporate CHANEL’s historical presence into their attire. Instead of relying on a strong icon like a jacket, its appeal lies in the quiet way it draws you in—the way the fabric sways as you walk and how the buttons around the waist are revealed. That understated charm is what makes this piece truly special.

For styling, you can enhance CHANEL’s classic refinement in a neat, composed manner by layering a tailored jacket over a simple shirt or a smooth-textured top. Pair it with a long coat or leather shoes, and the tweed’s softness and the strength of the wide silhouette will naturally harmonize, resulting in an elegant, mode impression that suits anyone, regardless of gender.

We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity.
