Alexa Chung Looks Incredibly Stylish on Vacation—4 Summer Trends She Brought Along for Her Getaway

      Regardless of her location or activity, I'm always eager to see what Alexa Chung is sporting. As summer transitions into the holiday season and celebrities commence their journeys to sun-soaked locales, you can be sure I’m attentively monitoring which new seasonal trends my perpetual style icon incorporates into her warm-weather outfits. There’s something unique about dressing for the holidays—when the sun softens your outlines and encourages a more laid-back, playful style—that reveals the most intriguing aspects of personal fashion. So, when I noticed that Alexa had recently arrived in Marrakesh, I anticipated an excellent fashion showcase. Undeniably the most stylish individual in my feed, Chung included several of this season's most buzzed-about trends in her travel bag. From trendy accessories to evening dresses, here are the four essential trends she brought along this week—and that I will certainly be adding to my own packing list right away.

      4 Stylish Summer Trends Alexa Chung Brought on Her Holiday

      1. The Raffia Bag

      Style Notes: In my view, no summer capsule wardrobe is complete without a raffia tote. Chung enhanced hers by tying a silky scarf around the handle, giving a personal twist to her pencil skirt and crisp shirt outfit. Less formal than the leather bags we usually favor during the rest of the year, the raffia tote immediately signals holiday mode.

      Shop Raffia Bags:

      - COS: Mini Cavatelli Clutch Bag

       Carry it over your shoulder or hold it in your hand.

      - Khaite: Billie Leather-Trimmed Raffia Bucket Bag

       This oversized tote is ideal for summer styling.

      - Sézane: Justine Basket Bag

       This bag is available in two other sizes.

      2. The Pleated Skirt

      Style Notes: If you find that voluminous bubble hems and breezy cotton styles aren't your choice this summer, I suggest opting for a classic pleated skirt. In a fresh powder-blue shade, Chung’s Miu Miu version achieves the perfect blend of structure and femininity. Combined with simple separates, it provided her summer look with a polished yet playful finish that feels just right for high temperatures.

      Shop Pleated Skirts:

      - Miu Miu: Cotton Pleated Midi Skirt

      - Zara: Printed Pleated Skirt

       Honestly, this appears far more luxurious than its actual price.

      Pair it with the matching blouse or a simple tee.

      3. The Gold Heel

      Style Notes: With high summer officially upon us, it’s time to put away your black leather sandals and spice things up with a more shimmering option. Adding a touch of glamour to her outfit for Marrakesh, Chung’s sparkling gold heels introduced warmth and contrast—proving that metallics can be worn beyond party season.

      Shop Gold Heels:

      These are available in five additional shades.

      - Zara: Metallic Stiletto Heel Sandals

       Style with a minidress like Chung’s or team with your favorite straight-leg trousers.

      - Manolo Blahnik: Susa 50 Metallic Leather Sandals

       Add a sparkle to your step.

      4. The Leopard-Print Dress

      Style Notes: While leopard print has established itself as a winter essential (hello, faux fur coats), it takes on an even more mesmerizing look in warmer weather. On Chung, the classic pattern was brought to life in a sheer, flowing Rat & Boa dress—a fun, slightly wild piece that perfectly captures summer's free-spirited vibe.
