Alexa Chung Just Backed This "Tacky" Trend—and It's Only £7 at Topshop

Fishnet tights may still be considered a tacky trend in some old-fashioned circles, but Alexa Chung just provided further proof for the naysayers that they can look elegant when styled in the right way. She wore a pair of tights with holes in exaggerated circles rather than the traditional crisscross threading, with an embroidered black minidress and low block heels in black suede with ankle straps (her favourites, in fact, which she's been wearing to every party). If you want to copy this outfit exactly, her tights appear to be from Wolford and are £35; however, you'll also find similar pairs at Topshop for just £7. Don't say we never spoil you. Keep scrolling to see the Alexa look we will be recreating at our office Christmas party.
On Alexa Chung: AlexaChung Sequin-Embellished Tunic (£645); Wolford Madeline Fishnet Tights (£35); Nicholas Kirkwood Maeva Pumps (£545)
