Alexa’s Winter Style is Second-to-None—4 Easy Looks To Copy Now
For as long as I’ve been interested in fashion, I’ve been interested in what Alexa Chung is wearing.
In fact, I’d go so far as to say it was Alexa’s grungy, irreverent approach to early-2010s styling that first sparked my obsession with clothes. Over the years, my love for fashion has evolved, but my admiration for her razor-sharp style instincts has never waned. She remains one of the fashion figures I return to time and again for inspiration.
With a new season stretching ahead, I’ve been curating ideas for my chicest winter wardrobe yet, and naturally, Alexa’s Instagram feed was the first place I looked. A few minutes of scrolling left me brimming with outfit ideas I couldn’t wait to copy, so I’ve rounded up the ones that stood out most.
These are the Alexa-approved looks I’ll be re-creating from now until March.
Discover Alexa Chung's Winter Wardrobe:
1. Leather Bomber Jacket + Pleated Skirt
Style Notes: A leather bomber instantly lends edge to any outfit, but paired with a pleated skirt, it takes on an elevated, grown-up feel. The contrast of tough and pretty creates a balance that feels undeniably chic. For a 2025 update, choose a bomber in a trending chocolate-brown hue and offset it with a grey pleated skirt. Add black tights and boots as the temperature drops.

Reiss
Oversized Leather Jacket in Aubergine
Reiss's oversized leather bomber jackets are a fashion insider's favourites—just ask any member of the Who What Wear team.
Massimo Dutti
Midi Skirt With Box Pleats
There's an inherent prep attributed to pleated grey skirts that give your styling a polished edge with minimal effort.
2. Grey Coat + Denim + Black Flats
Style Notes: Whilst chocolate-brown and letterbox red might be the season’s headline shades, I’ll always argue that light grey is the chicest colour to wear in winter. Alexa styles hers in the form of a structured wool coat, layered over light-blue denim—an icy-cool colour pairing that feels timeless.

& Other Stories
Long Wool Coat
I wouldn't wait too long—this elegant tailored coat has already sold out in the black and burgundy shades.
Tommy Jeans
Relaxed Dungarees
For off duty days, there's really nothing I'd rather step into than all-in-one denim. Dress it up with Alexa and wear with a tailored coat, other wise style with a casual bomber for a relaxed effect.
COS
Minimal Leather Ballet Flats
Wear these with denim and a tailored coat, otherwise pair them with structure trousers and a simple tee.
3. Navy Knit + White Jeans + Scarf
Style Notes: Don’t pack away your white jeans just because the weather has turned. Instead, give them a cold-weather twist with a rich navy knit, then add a soft grey scarf for both warmth and polish. This is Alexa at her understated best: simple pieces, styled with consideration.
