Adash of Jane Birkin , the ’70s wallpaper color palette, and a generous slice of that je ne sais quoi – if we could sum up Alexa Chung’s style in a single formula, it might be something like that. Chung has always had a knack for mixing and matching unexpected pieces and pulling them forward with aplomb, combining patterns and colors with irreverence: a constant balance between classic garments and risk-takers but without falling into ephemeral trends. And she has shown it once again at the Big Festival in Kingham with her black leather effect trench coat.

And it is that the festivals have become for the English in a preview of the trends of the catwalks. A declaration of intentions of what the common people want to wear. And Alexa swears that what she is going to wear are the trench coats .

And a couple of autumns ago began to proliferate American shoulders marked skin effect noventero air and this season, they are treading stronger than ever.

The one that has worn the “it” has no buttons, but a belt. Long below the knee, with shoulder pads and lapel collar, nothing like the classic English trench coat that has been combined with a striped denim overalls and a beige knit sweater.

Definitely, the prominence of the look is taken by this outer garment with a leather effect that we cannot like more since it is a basic, it is a life preserver whose versatility means that we can wear it with everything we can think of. It is the quintessential mid-season jacket and in the following months we will not stop using it. That is why it is the ideal time to get one because the investment is worth it.
