Alexa Chung Just Wore the Autumnal Coat Trend That's So London

With London Fashion Week a matter of days away, the streets are beginning to swell with enviably good outfits.

As we move into autumn and Fashion Week comes into sight, we’re also seeing the return of leather hurried into the capital. In the form of jackets, boots, sandals and skirts, we love them all. But, lately, we’ve been eyeing up a rather large leather good: the black leather trench coat.

There may be no clothing item more synonymous with British fashion than the classic trench coat, so when autumn takes the helm and leather sweeps the nation, we can’t help but want to merge the two. 

Spotted sporting the growing trend was Alexa Chung who on Tuesday posed outside of a London Black Cab wrapped up in her leather trench coat wearing white lace tights and knee-high leather boots.
