Navy Wool Short Sleeve Logo Button Sweetheart Dress

A navy wool short-sleeve dress from Chanel, documented to Spring 1996, shaped with a clean sweetheart neckline and finished with gold logo buttons that reference the house’s nautical codes—a recurring theme that season, where Karl Lagerfeld blended maritime details with streamlined, feminine tailoring. The silhouette is fitted through the bodice with a soft, elongating line through the skirt, striking that 90s Chanel balance of simplicity and quiet glamour. The crisp short sleeves, curved neckline, and logo-detailed placket create a subtle uniform sensibility, while the navy wool gives it a refined weight that drapes with poise. It’s a quintessential mid-90s Chanel piece: understated, impeccably shaped, and anchored in the house’s signature navy-and-gold language.
