On a walk in central London, Alexa Chung reaffirmed why she’ll forever be a style icon in my eyes. Styling a low-key, London-girl look, Chung masterfully balanced several growing trends as well as one once-forgotten. Swapping her favourite leather trench for a sleek, slightly oversized, straight-cut coat shape, Chung opted for a tried-and-true leather and denim pairing for her timeless city ensemble. For an unexpected touch, the model and presenter reached for classic black brogues to complete her outfit. Whilst we were distracted by the popularity of loafers this year, (and last!) the humble brogue has been sitting untouched this season, waiting for its time in the sun to come around again. Now, after Chung's chic revival, we expect to see them cropping up across the city, adding polish to casual looks and smartening up the laid-back denim outfits of city-dwellers throughout the winter months.
For a flush of colour, she paired her simple look with a vibrant red scarf, tapping into this season's hottest colour trend whilst incorporating a layer of texture into her winter-ready look. Chung's brogue pairing kept her trend-driven outfit looking grounded, timeless and polished. For their unparalleled ability to smarten up a casual look, we predict that simple black brogues could be right on track to give loafers a run for their money this season.
