Alexa Chung: “There’s not much to being an It girl. It’s really quite a depressing title to hold”. Clearly, this head-turning English model-turned-presenter has more to her than meets the eye. Frequently appearing on best dressed lists, in fashion mags and in the front row of fashion shows, she never looks out of place among the fashion pack in her quirky get-ups.
She’s a girly girl through and through, always to be found in a dress, whether it’s a vintage floral number or structured, designer piece. If you want to emulate Alexa’s style, though, the chunky ankle boot is a must. This simple addition takes the outfit from classic to cool and adds a rock’n’roll edge.
Don’t shy away from mixing different styles in the one look: a glamorous dress with a used, leather tote bag, or a preppy blazer-and-dress combo with a sky-high platform heel. Navy with black, a pinafore dress with lace-up shoes, and polka-dots with leather all work towards Alexa’s appeal. The key is, don’t mix more than two looks in the one outfit or you will look like you got dressed in the dark!
