#POV: YOU’RE TURNING AISLE 5 INTO CHANEL
In 2014, Chanel made headlines by transforming a supermarket into a couture runway—and in 2025, that spirit is trending harder than ever. With TikTok bringing back old money aesthetics and Pinterest saves for “Chanel outfit inspo” up +87% YoY, the fashion house’s signature blend of elegance and everyday irony is everywhere. Whether it’s the runway or aisle 5, Chanel proves that chic has no limits.
How to Recreate the Look
This outfit may seem simple, but the impact is timeless. A black knit cardigan with gold buttons? Instantly Chanel-coded. Pair it with a black mini skirt to channel that effortless, 90s-era runway glam. If it feels like something Claudia Schiffer might have worn to the grocery store in '94—you’re on the right track.
The magic is in the details:
This look is all about subtle luxury, where every element plays a part in capturing that signature Chanel elegance.
-
Start with the white thigh-high tights—they balance the mini skirt with a polished, playful contrast, echoing runway looks from the ‘90s and beyond
-
Step into a pair of white slingback kitten heels, a timeless silhouette Chanel made iconic. They’re understated, yet instantly elevate the entire fit
-
Wrap a strand of pearls around your waist or layer them on your wrist. It’s not just jewelry—it’s a nod to Coco’s legacy and the old money aesthetic that’s currently flooding TikTok
-
Finish with a ribbon hair clip—a small but powerful detail that instantly softens the look and brings in that youthful, Parisian charm
It’s this kind of thoughtful layering—mixing classic elements with modern attitude—that transforms a simple outfit into a full Chanel moment. Even if you’re just picking out snacks, you’re doing it in style.
It’s understated, elevated, and totally wearable—even if your runway is a supermarket aisle.
