Style Steal: Alexa Chung Fall/Winter ‘24
Alexa Chung has always been the ultimate "It Girl" and a personal style icon. So, it feels only fitting to feature her in the inaugural Style Steal article. In this series, we'll break down iconic looks from fashion leaders, explore how to recreate them, and discuss why they work so well.
This look perfectly captures Alexa Chung's signature style—a flawless balance of classic and trendy elements. The wool coat is a timeless wardrobe staple, grounding the outfit while allowing the trendier pieces to shine. Red has been a standout color this year, and the pop of red from the socks adds a modern twist to an otherwise timeless ensemble. Another contemporary update is the heeled loafers, which elevate the look compared to traditional flats. Finally, her plum lip ties everything together, giving the outfit a distinctly wintery vibe.
This next look exudes a "London Heritage" vibe while staying true to Alexa Chung's distinctive personal style. The outfit creates an interesting balance by pairing the masculine elements of a ruffled tuxedo shirt and pinstriped trousers with a Western-inspired belt—a trend that dominated womenswear over the past year. Finally, the Barbour jacket and Chelsea boots bring it all together, fully embracing that classic London heritage aesthetic.

Her leather-on-leather look is one of my favorites because it’s so easy to recreate with pieces many of us already have in our closets. I also love her choice of a brown belt, which adds a touch of contrast and interest, compared to the more expected black belt that would blend in. The cutoff tights introduce an intriguing textural element, while the white button-down completes the outfit with a timeless, classic touch.
This final look stands out because it feels at home in several decades, though not in the timeless, chic way we usually associate with Alexa’s wardrobe. The printed sweater vest and wool skirt combo give off a nostalgic '70s vibe, while the knee socks and riding boots evoke memories of the mid-2010s. However, the olive green tones and bucket bag bring a fresh, modern touch. Surprisingly, these elements come together seamlessly, creating a visually interesting and fashion-forward outfit.
