Style maven Alexa Chung is known for her gamine approach to fashion. So when Chung was seen strolling the streets of New York on Wednesday in a Carven look with a trompe l’oeil effect, we were quickly taken by the playful proportions. Hemlines have been rising to daring new heights this season, yet she manages to give her mini a polished twist with demure strappy shoes from Bionda Castana. Given that you can re-create the look with just three moving parts—a striped top, printed frock, and lace-up flats—it’s a simple idea to put into practice. The best part? It will edge your style at least one step closer to a cool summer.
