It’s official: With the second installation of Alexa Chung for AG launching today, Alexa Chung is the reigning queen of the jean (in our minds, anyway). Whether it’s utilitarian overalls or a perfectly lived-in pair of cutoffs, her signature laid-back style lends itself perfectly to rocking denim better than most. Here, we rounded up photo evidence of that fact. Click through and see for yourself.
The Romper
A hero item plucked from her latest collaboration with AG, this statement romper is a true pièce de résistance—topped off with a pair of fun booties and natural hair and makeup, the effect is effortless and playful.

The Overalls
File this under "how fashion girls do norm core." A pair of oversize dungarees styled with a basic blouse, Birkenstocks and a furry clutch equal perfectly casual.

The Cutoffs
The unofficial off-duty uniform of cool girls everywhere (no doubt influenced by Alexa herself), a pair of lived-in cutoffs finished with a button-up and classic sneakers gives your look that "I care about my appearance but am too busy with my exciting life to give it more than 5 minutes" vibe. Score added style points by haphazardly throwing a sweater around your waist.

The Novelty Color
When deviating from a pair of traditional baby blues, take one from Alexa's playbook and experiment with optic white. The look still remains classic while allowing you to switch up your denim routine—a cropped silhouette lends added French-girl flair.

The Minidress
Alexa proves that a Victorian-inspired frock can be strikingly demure without skewing dowdy (on account of its legs-for-days hemline). Chalk this up as another win in her "best unconventional denim" portfolio.

The Distressed Skinnies
Distressed skinny jeans—when styled with preppy separates, a vintage-inspired belt and a red lip—instantly feel polished rather than sloppy, all the while allowing the look to maintain an effortless, It-girl allure.
