I haven't so much as glanced at my coat closet since April. What's more, I didn't plan on touching it until at least October. (Usually, I draw out no-jacket season for as long as possible.) On August 28, however, a coat-clad Alexa Chung encouraged me to take one off its hanger.
While every celebrity seems to be at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, Chung held down the style fort in East London. She skipped transitional attire entirely and went straight to Fall 2025 fashion, starting with a double-faced wool coat from Longchamp. Based on the criteria of Emma Childs, Marie Claire's fashion features editor, Chung's knee-length topper fits into the "Tech-Forward" category, following Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, and Burberry's lead.
