In a male dominated society, Chanel dared to dress like a man by designing and wearing pants. Her innovation of the "sailor suit" reflected chanel's audacious personality. Chanel allowed the comfortable feel of men's wear to coincide with the sense of femininity. Her remarkable innovation of the use of jersey fabric allowed elegance to be achieved all while being able to move. The wool travelling suit consisted of a cardigan jacket, and pleated skirt with a low-belted pullover top. The casual look was worn with low-heeled shoes. The idea of comfort never preceded her time and heralded the inspiration of femininity without pain. Prior to this innovation women were habitually stuck in painful corsets that often disfigured the body. The classic suit is still spotted in the modern fashion society and expresses the beauty of women.
