Michaela Coel Discovers the Jeans Trend That Makes Heels the Most Wearable

If you keep an eye on the fashion crowd, you may have noticed that the new Chanel heels are a well-established style by now. Defined by their high vamp silhouette and available in a spectrum of of-the-moment colors, the style made its debut in Paris last October and has been gaining momentum ever since.

However, despite all their appeal, they are not the easiest shoes to style. As anyone with a fondness for statement heels will know, finding the right outfit can be tricky. That’s why I was surprised to find they look best when paired with the decidedly low-key denim trend. Stepping out this week, Michaela Coel gave her Chanel pumps a low-key spin, pairing them with ultra-relaxed, low-rise jeans dressed up with a chunky cuff. Tempering the shoes’ natural polish, the casual jeans bring a casual energy that makes the four-figure heel completely wearable.

Leaning into contrast, Coel completed the look with a cropped white button-down and a longline leather trench.
