It's Already Spring in Alexa Chung's Wardrobe—These Are the 5 Trends She's Backing

Out of all our long-standing fashion muses, Alexa Chung has got to be one of the most consistent. Trends have come and gone but Chung has managed to hold on to her distinctive brand of style, and couldn't be clearer than when looking at her latest lineup of outfits, all of which are perfectly prepped for spring. Unwavering in her dedication to current silhouettes with retro spins, Chung's recent looks are a lesson plan in spring 2024 styling. Wearable, cool and versatile, they're typical of the It girl style she's become so well known for.
From chunky V-neck knits to pleated midi skirts and timeless blazers, scroll down to see the five key pieces that make up Alexa Chung's spring wardrobe this year.
ALEXA CHUNG'S 5-PART SPRING CAPSULE WARDROBE
1. TRANSEASONAL CAMEL COAT
Style Notes: In a fresh, light shade, a classic camel coat trumps its competitors for winter-to-spring insulation. Styling well with light cotton dresses and heavy wool knits, Chung understands the enduring appeal of this timeless piece of outerwear.
Shop the Look:
From early autumn until late spring, you won't regret keeping a camel coat to hand.
2. PLEATED MIDI SKIRTS
Style Notes: Pleated midi skirts have never looked chicer, and the fashion set can't get enough. Last season the runways were rife with this elegant A-line silhouette, and for 2024, we have our sights set on pleated iterations. Case in point: Chung's latest Instagram look.
Shop the Look:
Grey, pleated skirts are a key buy for spring.
3. V-NECK KNIT
Style Notes: This elevated jumper style is currently trending, and Chung was one of the first to trade in her crew necks to give it a spin. Re-create her look with a fresh cotton button-down underneath for Chung appeal, or wear on its own for an un-done, slouchy finish.
Shop the Look:
This vibrant blue knit is as easy way to add a flush of colour to your spring wardrobe.
4. SINGLE-BREASTED BLAZER
Style Notes: The perfect spring jacket does exist, and it's likely already hiding out in your wardrobe. As opposed to its double-breasted sister, a single-breasted blazer offers a lightweight styling solution that's just as smart yet even more versatile. Wear with a flowing summer dress to complete a wedding guest ensemble, or keep it simple with your favourite jeans for a Chung-approved look.
Shop the Look:
An oversized blazer is the chicest and most comfortable way to elevate an outfit.
5. LACE SLIP DRESS
Style Notes: This versatile wardrobe addition is a well-documented favourite of Chung's. Opting for it time after time, the sexy slip offers a healthy dose of '90s elegance along with the relaxed, effortless energy that she's honed so well.
Shop the Look:
Style with kitten heels for an evening out or wear with a chunky knit and knee-high boots to make this staple dress daytime-ready.
I'm banking this ahead of the forthcoming spring weddings I'm attending.
