WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

Where Alexa Chung Gets Her Favorite Things

“Sometimes bad taste is kind of exciting,” says forever “It” girl Alexa Chung. Who is on her mood board, however, varies. In the same breath, she cites Lauren Hutton, Jane Birkin, Penelope Tree, and the films Kramer vs. Kramer and Love Story. To maintain her signature style, she frequents vintage markets wherever she is and shops all over, from Net-a-Porter to Ssense and Madewell. Here where Chung got the a few of the pieces that made it into her curated wardrobe and home.

Simone Rocha X Crocs Embellished Stomp Clogs

People in general don’t compliment on my clothes. I feel like I’m always walking around dishing out compliments to people. That said, it turns out everyone is a magpie and if you bedazzle your Crocs with pearls and jewels, they will notice. Grandmas, dogs, men, children, and other women always ask me where they’re from.

Alexa Chung for Madewell Satin Western Shirt

I’m a big fan of Rita Hayworth in Gilda, and when I remember that movie, even though it isn’t true, in my mind there’s a scene in which she’s dressed as a cowgirl. We made a denim version, then I was interested in making a sexy nighttime version of the cowboy shirt. It’s got a bit of Gram Parsons in it, a bit of Dolly Parton, a country and/or lead-singer quality. I’d wear it with black jeans or black tailored trousers.

Comme Si La Shirt Classica

A Comme Si button-down shirt is a practical solution because it’s so cold in the U.K. My blue Comme Si shirt, I put it between everything, and it’s very much the cheese of my sandwich. Maybe a striped long-sleeve top underneath it or a knitted tank top. I’ve put it between a T-shirt and a blazer or underneath a leather biker jacket; it serves a multitude of purposes, and it’s genuinely my favorite.

J.Crew Collection Embellished Pointelle Sweater-Tank

A pointelle sweater tank is a versatile wardrobe piece that can be worn year-round because its easy to layer and style. This one, in particular, features festive sparkles — ideal for the season — and if the red is a bit too Rudolph’s noise for you, the tank also comes in a cream-colored natural shade.

J.Crew Collection Layered Sequin Skirt

Sheer and sequins is the pairing of the moment, which is why we love this layer skirt design from J.Crew. The silver sequin skirt underneath (which is removable) paired with the black chiffon overlay is a versatile and vibrant skirt and with some flashy depth.

Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pump

A favorite shoe of the Cut team this year was Sam Edelman’s popular slingback. If you love the comfort of flats but want a bit of height, consider these best sellers that come a wide range of colors and textures, but we love the metallic for an added holiday pop.
