Here's Where You Can Buy The Classic Coat That Alexa Chung Wears On Rotation

There are a few things that are a match made in fashion heaven. Biker jackets and white tees, midi dresses and knee-high boots, blazers and jeans (and French girls are rarely seen without a bouclé jacket), but if there's one thing we can rely on for inspo during the chillier months, it's Alexa Chung's seriously impressive coat collection, and there's one style in particular that she wears on repeat. 

With winter well and truly making its presence felt, we're in for a cooler spring, and I've been looking for a great coat that will go with everything from chunky knits to slip dresses, depending on the turns of the weather. Thankfully, one of Alexa's recent outfits was a reminder of just how versatile a belted trench coat is, and scrolling back through her archive shows her affinity for the structured, cinched silhouette.

When it comes to unearthing great trends, we've been coming back to Alexa for years as she undoubtedly has an eye for the kind of effortlessly cool and practical pieces that we want to fill our wardrobes with. And, over the years of setting the style agenda, Alexa has been pictured in classic trench coats, patent vinyl trenches, waxed trenches, and of course, leather trenches (just look at her outfit from the 2021 Fashion Awards for example), and our team of editors, myself included, have been heavily swayed by her most recent outing in an elegant grey wool coat that might just be the perfect everyday coat for right now (I'm still feverishly googling to find out where it's from).

It doesn't take much to convince me that the trench coat is a wardrobe staple, after all the classic cut is universally flattering and manages to make any outfit feel that little bit more polished–as proven by Alexa. Whether you're wearing jeans and a t-shirt or a special evening dress, however you style a trench, this easy coat can go from weekend uniform to office-ready in an instant. I'd say that's well worth the investment.
