What Would She Wear: Alexa Chung
Not to get too academic on you—we realize this is still summer vacation for some!—but here at Who What Wear, we often employ the Socratic Method during our daily design-centric debates. Whether discussing the perils of crop-tops (sexy or scary?) or the merits of an open-toed boot (the perfect transitional choice?), it's always illuminating to engage in a theoretical dialogue about what we love or loathe about certain trends and trendsetters. Other times, however, it's better to put aside our rhetorical pursuits in favor of those inquiries that have conclusive results. For example, you can often hear queries around the WWW office about what Alexa Chung is wearing, in part because we know that the answers are invariably inspiring. On that note, rather than sleuthing out the details about her latest wardrobe triumphs, we've flipped the script and asked ourselves What Would She Wear? instead. We could pontificate for hours about the many pieces that would look brilliant on the darling dresser, but we'll spare you the endless rhetoric and just show you an A+ selection for your viewing and shopping pleasure!
Though we have long championed her playful taste in clothes and accessories, we do realize that some readers might not be as intimately aware of Chung's every move, so for those of you less immersed in this It-girl's personal style, we have a few notes for your edification. She's the star of MTV's daily lunchtime talk show, It's On With Alexa Chung, which is enjoyable as it showcases her dry wit and sassy sense of humor, but the main reason we TiVo the show is to get a glimpse of her enviable wardrobe (her on-air outfits are also detailed via MTV.com!). Whether she's wearing the a delightful Topshop frock on the telly, or dressed in head-to-toe Burberry for the British fashion house's benefit for The Robin Hood Foundation (above), she always looks completely cool in a very tongue-in-cheek sort of way. Generally speaking, Chung goes for a mix of androgynous items, like unisex shoes or boxy layers, worn with a subtly sexy twist, so we found a wonderful assortment of pieces that embody this spirit. Just make sure to pepper them with your favorite treasured vintage finds and you'll have a Chung-approved look in no time at all!
1. Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara
($28) in Black Steel
While Chung takes a decidedly understated approach to her beauty regime, the fashion plate always plays up her lovely eyes in a skillful way. Call it a hunch, but we have a feeling she’d be just as excited about this new Giorgio Armani mascara as we are. The formula is flawless: not only does it boost and lengthen lashes with dexterity, it never ever clumps (we tried, it won’t happen!). While we picked basic black—er, Black Steel—for Ms. Chung, it’s also available in three other colors, including Copper Brown, Gun Metal Grey, and Red Iron. No matter which color you pick, your lashes will thank you!
2. Current/Elliott The Perfect Shirt
($198)
We have long admired Chung's distinct ability to seamlessly weave girly pieces with more boyish basics. As we searched for the latter, we discovered that Current/Elliott, everyone's favorite denim design duo, created a shirt that's perfect for our purposes. The heavy woven button-down is just the sort of down-to-earth piece we were looking for; we can totally see Chung mixing it with a miniskirt and some brogues. Additionally, it would also look amazing over a cheeky polka-dot dress or worn buttoned up with a pair of leather leggings!
3. Jerome Dreyfuss Charles Bag ($798) in Chamois
Chung often chooses quirky and cool handbags (case in point, a vintage record-case doubles as an offbeat carryall), so we think she would appreciate the new-for-fall Charles Bag from Jérôme Dreyfuss (it's not in quite yet, but will be available online at LaGarconne.com shortly!). It has some of the utilitarian sensibilities of her favorite Mulberry bags, but this rendition is a little more luxurious. This marvelous messenger comes in supple tan suede and the strap is the perfect length to wear cross body for window-shopping in New York's West Village!
4. H&M Brocade Skirt ($50)
Our subject du jour frequently shows off her killer gams with hiked up hemlines, so we're sure she'd be wild about this vibrant brocade mini by H&M. In addition to styling it with a casual work shirt, we could also see Chung pair this eye-catching skirt with a menswear blazer and a lust-worthy pair of heels. She would certainly also appreciate its price, as balancing high-end designer pieces with high-street selections is one of Chung's fashion hallmarks!
5. Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Sienna ($45)
Chung is a huge fan of all things Chanel and has repeatedly expressed her adoration for Mr. Lagerfeld. As a devout devotee, we figure she'd probably have the inside scoop on their newest blush, which is inspired by Chanel's iconic tweed fabric and offers a combo of blush and shimmer in one. Just a swipe of this amazing cheek color would look gorgeous with her fair English complexion; the results will be subtle and lovely, much like Ms. Chung, herself!
6. Steve Madden Melin Brogue Shoes
($100)
Though we have spotted Chung sporting penny loafers and seventies-style driving shoes, we think she would love these on-trend black and white brogues, which call to mind the Church's classic English version, but at a much more accessible price-point. Slip into these lace-ups to add a traditional-yet-fresh element to your favorite cropped pants or body-con dress for a Chung-approved look!
7. Nicole Romano Black and Silver Bead Multi Chain Necklace
($230)
Any career girl worth her weight in paper clips knows that the key to transitioning an office-friendly outfit into an evening-ready ensemble is the strategic employment of smart accessories. After a long day at the studio, we can completely envision Chung clasping on this statement necklace en route to a fashion-centric cocktail party or an outdoor concert to elevate her already stellar assemblage into something really show-stopping. —KM

I just love the handbags, i'm a real handbag fanatic, any colour will do have trillions of them, can't get enough!!
Have you seen these new Chica Chick handbags they look real funky, has anyone seen them check them out there so cool, and apparently are coming out in autumn colours, so can't wait to see them!!.
What do you think of the subject of having condoms in your handbag? as these bags come with personal products in the bags when you buy them?
good idea or bad one? let me know.
http://chicachick5.blogspot.com
www.chicachick.com I luv shoes no.6
http://cutieberry.co.cc the bag is to die! Why do I always like the most expensive item! I'm in LOVE <3 <3 with #4, the H&M Brocade Skirt. I live in Australia, does anyone know how I could purchase it? I love how you reversed it a bit and did a post about what Alexa Chung should wear. I love her funky yet effortless style. She always seems to get it write! All the things that you posted, especially those brogue shoes are exactly on point. I can see her wearing all of those things. Such a coincidence, since I posted about how to wear brogues, and I had a picture of her on there! Here is the post: http://thestylistadiaries.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-wear-mens-inspired-shoes-brogues.html
xoxo,
Victoria
http://thestylistadiaries.blogspot.com that shirt #2 is amazing!! i want one!! 85% of the reason I tune into her new show is to simply check out what she's wearing! The other 15% is cause she's just so damn endearing!! Haha. She dresses awesome and just WEARS clothes well. Love the fact that she also consistently rocks the cat eye!! love alexa chung. she's so cute! and love #7 the necklace. sugarrockcatwalk.com love alexa chung. she's so cute! and love #7 the necklace.
sugarrockcatwalk.com I am wondering who the designer/ which brand of the lovely white-black shoes (nr.6) are. Does anybody know?
Thank you in advance! i looooveeee everything except for the shoe and the skirt. the shoe, i dont think i could pull off, and i can't even think of where i would wear it/what to wear it with. the skirt looks like cheap fabric, and the print isn't great. otherwise, great post! i've never seen her show because i live in canada, but i will try to because i think her style is quite interesting. i want all of it. especially outfit on alexa. she wears clothes perfectly. a little disheveled and carefree.
lickingstars.blogspot.com I really hate what she's done to her hair.. But I like the outfit she's wearing in the pic. :) Love Alexa Chung!
She always mixes feminine & masculine pieces so perfectly!
www.soobiestyle.com I really alexa chung:) i really like the bag as well.
www.fringeandbicycles.blogspot.com The Current/Elliot shirt is a perfect representation of Alexa!
http://WAROFTHEWARDROBES.blogspot.com You've got her style so well researched! And the Eyes to Kill mascara is a great touch, it is such a fantastic product. I much prefer the wand to that of Armani Maestro. I thought you might like to know Ms Chung contributed to Vogue UK's recent age issue and said she lives in Balenciaga jeans- also beautiful in an understated way. I LOVE ALEXA!!! (As you all know!) Great pick WHO WHAT WEAR xx I really do like her style, however don't like her hair that much in that picture either! But I want that bag sooo much. I've been looking for something like that for ages. :)
http://thevoguette-233.blogspot.com/ love alexa's style, and that gorgeous current/elliott shirt! Nice selection, I really love the Current/Elliott shirt. On another note, I think her hair looks so dorky in that picture, and not in a good way. And she could have someone's eye out with those kneecaps! Can I have the bag and the skirt please? ;o)
