We Never Thought Alexa Chung Would Endorse This Controversial Jewelry Trend

As you know, Alexa Chung's style wouldn't exactly be described as conservative. She's always been willing to think outside the box and take risks, but even so, there are some trends we just don't associate with her. Never one to rest on her sartorial laurels, Chung just surprised us with a controversial jewelry trend that we typically just see on models at the beach: a body chain.
While out for a men's LFW event last night with her boyfriend, Orson Fry, at first glance, Chung seemed to be wearing a fairly simple outfit consisting of an oversize white shirt, loose black pants, and black leather shoes. But she opted to complete it with a jeweled belly chain draped over the button-down shirt. Per usual, Chung put her own twist on the jewelry trend, making it look effortlessly cool and casual.
If you're intrigued by the body chain trend but are hesitant to try it with just a swimsuit, Chung's genius styling is definitely the solution. Scroll to see the look, and shop Alexa Chung–worthy body chains.
