What to buy in Alexa Chung's new collection
The wait is over
The wait is over
After two successful drops from her eponymous fashion label, Alexa Chung just launched her third collection and spoiler alert: it's amazing. First off, there's THE slogan t-shirt to wear this year, which is literally fantastic (honestly, it says so on it).
Now the rest of the line has launched on Alexa's site, and it ticks all the right trend boxes. Inspired by 90s music and Brit pop culture, it perfectly adapts past trends to 2018, without feeling like you're playing vintage dress-up.
Think plenty of corduroy, checked and striped pencil skirts, utilitarian khaki and the Alexa wardrobe classics we've come to expect from previous collections, like the pie crust blouse, pinafore dress, flared jeans and patent leather Mary Janes.
If you can afford to get your hands on the whole collection, then by all means do, but if you're trying to whittle it down to the absolute must-haves, then these are the pieces to invest in, as seen on Alexa Chung, Laura Jackson and Pixie Geldof at the collection launch party last night.
