Alexa Chung wore a high street trench coat to Cannes and it's still in stock
Alexa Chung just gave her IT-girl stamp of approval to this high street trench coat during a Cannes Film Festival appearance, and it's still available to shop in all sizes
There are few people who do effortless style quite like Alexa Chung, and her latest look at the Cannes Film Festival is further proof of her IT-girl status.
Swapping ballgowns for something a little more wearable, she stepped out in a chic oversized trench coat from none other than high-street brand Mango.
And the best part is that the trench is still in stock with all sizes available. With its cool tailoring, subtle crinkle texture and oversized fit, we genuinely thought this was a designer piece and were pleasantly surprised to find out it is not.
Although it's not designer, that doesn't mean it's totally affordable. Hailing from Mango's elevated Selection Collection, this trench is priced at £229.99. But considering how high-end it looks and the fact that it's got Alexa's seal of approval, we can't be too upset with the price.
The khaki hue and lightweight feel make it perfect for this time of year, when the weather can be unpredictable.
To style the look, Alex kept it very simple and French-girl chic with a pair of white straight-leg jeans (shop a similar pair from Mango here), a lace-trimmed black cami (shop similar from ASOS here), some black sunglasses and a blue and cream canvas tote bag (shop similar from H&M here).
What caught our eye, however, was how she styled the sleeves of the trench coat. It's likely you've seen that viral hack of using a hairband to ruche up the sleeves of your blazer or jacket. Alexa instead opted for what appears a statement gold bangle around one of her trench coat sleeves. We love how this simple trick immediately elevates the look.
If you're after a more budget-friendly trench coat, Next's Khaki Green Shower Resistant Trench Coat is a great option at £65. While River Island's Khaki Relaxed Wrap Trench Coat, also £65, looks far more expensive than its affordable price tag.
