London fog may be a myth, but anyone who’s visited the birthplace of the Burberry trench knows that even a sunny weather forecast doesn’t preclude the possibility of a few showers. Which might explain why one of England’s best-tressed natives, Alexa Chung, eschews fresh-from-the-salon blowouts for the lived-in authenticity of weathered waves that seem to double their cool-girl factor with the help of a little drizzle or a gusty day.
In fact, England’s most stylish export’s Instagram is a testament to using the elements to full laissez-faire effect: From wind-whipped waves to static-electrified wisps—along with the occasional shout-out to ’60s bedhead—Chung manages to pull off the paradoxical union of effortless cool and thoughtful polish. It’s a welcome inspiration for all the fashion editors and street style darlings who emerged from the red-eye to Heathrow in the past few days: London Fashion Week’s beauty prescription just might come down to letting your hair do its thing—rain or shine.
