"It&amp;#x27;s On With Alexa Chung premieres this Monday on MTV, and I have a feeling you&amp;#x27;re going to be doing some serious crushing on the show&amp;#x27;s host, a 25-year-old British model who already has legions of fans and followers across the pond. Check out what makes her so chic--and get our affordable versions of her best looks!--after the jump. Alexa sits front row at Louis Vuitton, parties with London&amp;#x27;s sassiest dolls (Agyness Deyn, Daisy Lowe, Peaches &amp;amp; Pixie Geldof), and has the kind of style I&amp;#x27;m crazy about--let&amp;#x27;s call it &amp;quot;ragamuffin chic.&amp;quot; Her outfit always looks like it tells a story, from the vintage pieces picked up in her travels to the T-shirts stolen from old boyfriends and shiny new designer items she seamlessly integrates into the mix. Here are a few lessons you can learn from Alexa: Take a classic piece and make it your own. Nothing is more timeless than a trench, but the ragamuffin chic version looks anything but traditional. Alexa lets hers hang open just a bit and then ties the belt in a knot and rolls up the sleeves to eliminate any stuffiness. She also pairs it with opaque tights and black high heels, which is something of a Chung signature. Always add one unexpected piece to your look. Whether it&amp;#x27;s a brightly colored shoe (find the season&amp;#x27;s best for under $100 here!), a train case as a handbag, or a piece of statement jewelry, throwing on one item that turns heads and doesn&amp;#x27;t obviously &amp;quot;go&amp;quot; with the rest of your outfit is a great way to create a trademark style. Write your own rules. Socks with sandals? Sounds pretty scary. But Alexa looks...kind of fabulous in this! If you&amp;#x27;ve got confidence, a strong sense of self, and an understanding of what works for you and your body, there&amp;#x27;s nothing you can&amp;#x27;t pull off (except maybe denim leggings. Please). Wear what you love, and the rest will fall into place. What do you girls think of Alexa Chung and her &amp;quot;ragamuffin chic&amp;quot; style? Are you a fan?
