Neutral tones, classic styles, and an abundance of denim—Alexa's outfits for the new season are what I'll be replicating throughout the entire winter.
Ever since I developed an interest in fashion, I've been intrigued by what Alexa Chung wears. In fact, I would assert that her edgy, playful approach to early-2010s style was the catalyst for my love of clothing. My passion for fashion has transformed over time, but my admiration for her sharp style instincts has remained constant. She continues to be a key source of inspiration for me. With a new season approaching, I've been gathering ideas for my most stylish winter wardrobe to date, and naturally, I turned to Alexa’s Instagram first. After just a few minutes of scrolling, I was filled with outfit ideas that I couldn't wait to replicate, so I've compiled the standout looks. Here are the Alexa-approved outfits I'm planning to recreate from now until March.
Discover Alexa Chung's Winter Wardrobe:
1. Leather Bomber Jacket + Pleated Skirt
Style Notes: A leather bomber adds an edgy touch to any look, and when paired with a pleated skirt, it achieves a sophisticated, mature vibe. The blend of tough and feminine elements creates a chic balance. For a 2025 update, opt for a bomber in a trendy chocolate-brown shade, complemented by a grey pleated skirt. As temperatures drop, add black tights and boots.

Oversized Leather Jacket in Aubergine
Reiss's oversized leather bombers are favorites among fashion insiders—just ask anyone from the Who What Wear team.
Massimo Dutti
Midi Skirt With Box Pleats
Pleated grey skirts inherently bring a polished edge to your outfits with minimal effort.
2. Grey Coat + Denim + Black Flats
Style Notes: While chocolate-brown and deep red may be the standout shades this season, I maintain that light grey is the most stylish winter color. Alexa sports hers in the form of a structured wool coat layered over light-blue denim—this cool color combination feels timeless.

Long Wool Coat
I wouldn’t hesitate—this elegant tailored coat has already sold out in black and burgundy options.
Tommy Jeans
Relaxed Dungarees
For laid-back days, there’s nothing I prefer more than all-in-one denim. Dress it up like Alexa with a tailored coat or style it casually with a bomber for a relaxed look.
COS
Minimal Leather Ballet Flats
These work well with denim and a tailored coat but can also be paired with structured trousers and a simple tee.
3. Navy Knit + White Jeans + Scarf
Style Notes: Don't pack away your white jeans due to the colder weather. Instead, give them a winter twist with a rich navy knit and add a soft grey scarf for warmth and sophistication. This is Alexa’s understated style at its best: simple pieces with thoughtful styling.

Mango
100% Wool Fine-Knit Jumper
Even as a fine-knit design, the wool material ensures a cozy finish.
Arket
Lupine Flared Jeans
Fashion enthusiasts always return to Arket for their dependable denim—myself included.
Every winter wardrobe needs a cozy layer.
4. Trench Coat + Sunglasses
Style Notes: There’s a brief, lovely period at the start of winter when the air is crisp but the sun is still shining. That’s when Alexa’s trench-and-sunglasses combo shines. A cream trench adds freshness to darker winter outfits, while oversized sunglasses contribute effortless cool. When the weather cools down, simply switch your base layer for a chunky knit to stay cozy without losing the sleek look.

COS
Knitted-Collar Trench Coat
With its excellent attention to detail—such as the knitted collar and storm flap—this could easily be mistaken for designer.
Oversized sunglasses are becoming the season’s preferred style over slimmer versions.
5. Black Jumper + Beige Jeans + Black Flats
Style Notes: From October to April (and honestly, beyond), black jumpers form the core of my wardrobe. Typically, I pair them with black pants or blue jeans, but Alexa’s beige denim has encouraged me to try something new. The black ballet flats align with this season’s footwear trend, but when the temperature really drops, I’ll switch them for black boots and layer a cocooning coat on top.

For everyday casual styling, nothing is more appealing than a simple black sweatshirt. This style is available in sizes XXS—4XL.
Topshop
Column Mid Rise Jean
This light beige tone fits perfectly into a capsule wardrobe and offers a chic alternative to the usual blue jeans.
Rise & Fall
Cashmere Merino Ribbed Scarf
In my opinion, Rise & Fall's cashmere is among the finest available.
I believe that every great wardrobe begins with a classic pair of leather ballet flats.
