Leave it to Alexa Chung to start a global jewellery phenomenon with a few simple Instagram posts.
For SS25, the triple threat author, model and style muse is making arm cuffs her whole personality, and fans of both her and her enviable wardrobe are taking notes.
Sharing a selection of holiday snaps to her Instagram account on Tuesday night with the caption “Overly into upper arm shim sham”, Alexa schooled her followers on just how versatile a simple chunky arm cuff can be, even when worn with a plain white tee and khaki bucket hat.

Prior to that, she paired it with a plastic Supriya Lele mini for a night out in London.
It's by no means a rare sight to see Alexa Chung donning something seriously chic. Whether she's sitting FROW at fashion week, spotted grabbing a coffee on Sunday morning or attending a lavish dinner with her nearest and dearest, there’s a reason why Miss Chung is coined one of the world's most stylish mavens.
This isn’t (and probably wont be the last) time the 41-year-old has fuelled a global fashion trend.
