Alexa Chung's Reformation Collection Is Here & We Tried It

Collaborations Are the New Normal

Celebrity partnerships have become standard for Reformation. From Nara Smith to Enya Umanzor, the brand has launched limited runs with the industry's most sought-after personalities. The latest association is with Alexa Chung, a style icon for many fashion fans. Her wardrobe, blending classic elements with playful attitude, is widely envied. Her closet includes graphic tees from Dior, midi dresses from Prada, and impeccable vintage jeans.

Affordable Luxury Pieces

To make this distinct aesthetic accessible, Chung worked with Reformation to create a line of curated pieces. All items in this collection are priced under $1,000, offering options that add personality to any wardrobe. These pieces, from crocheted tees to elegant black dresses, are designed to be easily paired with each client's favorite jeans.

Trying the Collection

I tried several items from this range. One is the slogan tee, a piece reflecting Chung's passion for text-printed clothes. In the collaboration, two variants are available: one white with Me Againin blue, which is already sold out, and another black with the phrase Much Too Muchin intense red. While the tee's humorous message is appealing, the fit was most impressive. The cropped cut sat perfectly, and the sleeves didn't have the typical baby teelook.

Vintage-Inspired Skirt

Another remarkable piece is the vintage-themed skirt, which adds a touch of charm to any ensemble. This collection item is decorated with floral appliqués on the lace edge, has thin straps, and a yellow tie at the waist that creates a highlighting effect. Because the fabric is slightly sheer, I decided to use it as a beach dress for upcoming vacations.

The Perfect Black Dress

It is no surprise that the collection includes a perfect black dress, which deserves to be considered a long-term investment. The interior has a bra-style closure system that keeps everything in place, allowing free movement without constant adjustments. This feature solves the common problem of strapless dresses. The heels from the same range fit impeccably, featuring lace-up details and a small knot that adds a feminine air.

Rose Velvet Jacket

To complete the look, I also tested the rose velvet jacket. At first glance, I was unsure about the choice, as I am not a big fan of intense colors and heavy textures. However, the rich rose hue completely changed my perception. The velvet texture, soft and refined, transformed this piece into an excellent choice for a romantic autumn dinner.

Shopping List

Although I only had access to part of the collection, I added many other items to my shopping cart. Among the other pieces that attract me are the Legacy formal dress, the Valentine blazer, the Velvet Magic handbag, the Red Carpet scarf, the Carolyn skirt, and the Kitten lace-up heels. These items complete the image of a modern, balanced, and personality-filled wardrobe, as described by Alexa Chung herself in the Reformation collaboration.
