The Itaewon Class actor schools us on how men can pull off the French fashion staple
Joining Pharrell Williams and Bigbang’s G-Dragon, South Korean actor Park Seo-Joon is the latest male celebrity to offer his twist on a French wardrobe staple: the Chanel tweed jacket.
On Tuesday, the Itaewon Class actor attended the maison’s fall/winter 2023 show at Paris Fashion Week, where Chanel designer Virginie Viard showcased her latest collection. To stand out at the star-studded event, which was also graced by fellow Chanel ambassadors like Blackpink’s Jennie and Penelope Cruz, Park wore a royal blue Chanel tweed jacket over a crisp white shirt. His outfit was complete with a pair of black pants and smart, black square-toe shoes.

Choosing to complete his suit with a classic women’s jacket instead of a typical blazer was a bold move (and one that Coco Chanel herself would have approved of). But Park took his style statement even further: he wore his pointed shirt collar over his jacket, offering a twist to the collar-over-lapels styling trick that was popularised in the ‘70s by Hollywood icons like Al Pacino and John Travolta.
Park’s Chanel jacket also warranted a closer look. The K-drama star pinned a Chanel “CC” logo brooch and a pink camellia flower to his tweed, softening the swagger of his ensemble.
