Wait, Did Chanel Just Confirm That This Non-Flat, Non-Heel Shoe Trend Is No Longer Dated?

Wait, Did Chanel Just Confirm That This Non-Flat, Non-Heel Shoe Trend Is No Longer Dated?

As history shows, everything in fashion comes back around—some sooner than others. And for the most part, we have designers to thank for that. One of the most influential fashion houses in the industry is obviously Chanel. If its designers put their stamp of approval on something, it's instantly cool, even if it wasn't yesterday.

Margaret Qualley, who has been one of Chanel's celebrity ambassadors for the past several years, almost always wears the brand on the red carpet, and that's just what she did while promoting her upcoming film Blue Moon on the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival. Qualley wore a tweed coat dress with an attached cape from Chanel's S/S 20 couture collection. Given that she is an ambassador, it's to be assumed that Qualley and her stylist Patricia Villirillo worked with the brand in choosing her look for the event, and for that reason, I think that Chanel approves of the return of the polarizing shoe trend she wore: wedges.

Wedges, which aren't technically flats or heels have been hinting at a comeback with brands like Toteme and Alaïa incorporating them into their recent shoe collections. Not only that, Chanel included them in its recent S/S 25 couture collection (in pretty pink pastel). Now that Qualley just wore a pair of Chanel white satin cap-toe wedge boots on the red carpet, I'm pretty sure that Chanel thinks it's time for us to start wearing wedges again. Keep scrolling to shop some stunning pairs that'll further convince you.
