No matter how far in the past you thought a trend was, when the likes of Balenciaga, Chanel, The Row, J.W.Anderson, and—let’s be real—Zara all simultaneously begin to endorse it, it makes you rethink your stance. Such is the case with the topic of today’s post: mid-calf boots, which are part of the fall lineup for not just the above brands, but many more. Could this signify the return of the trend? If you ask us, all signs point to yes. Unsurprisingly, Chanel already has the bloggers on board, and we think it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the fashion world follows.
