Alexa Chung in Espadrilles in July 2016

Alexa Chung is the queen of the "I just threw this together" outfit, but we have an inkling she puts a lot more effort into her outfits than you'd imagine. On a day out in New York on Wednesday, she gave us the perfect example of this when she teamed a quirky face-print blouse with vintage jeans, tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses, a cotton tote bag, and the surprise shoe trend of the season: good old-fashioned espadrilles. The ankle-grazing jeans perfectly showed off the strappy detail of the shoes, while the high waist balanced things out to make her look even taller than she already is.
