As the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld once said, 'sweatpants are a sign of defeat.'
If you spent much of the early days of lockdown suited up in sweatpants, you’re not alone; sales rocketed up 80 percent at the beginning of lockdown in the U.S. last April, while overall clothing salesto a record-breaking 79 percent. Keira Knightley, however, went a different route—and not when wearing “Zoom shirts.” The actor instead gussied up in head-to-toe Chanel.
“I put on red lipstick every day, and every bit of Chanel that I have in my cupboard,” Knightley said in’s July cover story. In an attempt to boost morale, she and her family instituted a singular rule: “We have a trampoline in our garden, and we decided we were only allowed to wear dresses on it.” Her six-year-old daughter Edie embraced the change, accessorizing with fairy wings and Chanel ribbons braided into her hair.
The late Karl Lagerfeld, on the other hand, would no doubt approve. “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat,” the designer once memorably—a standout even among his countless iconic quotes. “You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.” Knightley has fond memories of Lagerfeld, of whom she said she was “too young to be terrified” when they first met.
“I was staying at the Ritz, and when I opened the wardrobe, I found all these Chanel clothes in there,” she recalled. “I just thought the room hadn’t been cleaned, so I phoned down to reception to say someone had left their clothes behind, and they said they were for my stay—but not to keep.” Apparently, even for Knightley, “it’s always a Cinderella moment.”
