Did You Get the Memo? Chanel Wants You to Try This Sandal Trend

Karl Lagerfeld really wants you to try gladiator sandals. How do we know this, you might ask? The designer just presented Chanel's Cruise 2018 show in Paris, and every single look was anchored by the iconic strappy shoe style.
From the backdrop to the clothes, the collection was rife with Greek references, including, of course, the shoes du jour. Chanel played with a host of different colours, creating gladiator sandals in black, gold, blue, orange, yellow, and more. If you don't want to commit to knee-high versions, don't fret: You can still test-drive the look with ankle iterations. We don't think Karl will mind.
Read on to see how Chanel styled knee-high gladiator sandals seven different ways, and get a close-up look at the shoes.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News.
