As a millennial myself, Alexa Chung will always have a special place in my heart and be the ultimate style icon of our generation. She continues to wear highly relatable, incredibly chic outfits that I and many others draw inspiration from. While attending London Fashion Week events a few days ago, Chung was photographed wearing a pant style millennials, in particular, love: utility pants—specifically, utility pants in army green. I, for one, and many of my fellow millennials have worn the basic off and on for, well, decades at this point.
One could say that army green utility pants can look dated when styled certain ways, but Chung just showed that it’s possible to make them look modern and forward in 2026. She did so partly thanks to the shoe trend she chose to pair with them: metallic kitten-heel sandals. They may not be the obvious choice (especially in metallic pink) for wearing with utility pants, but as the wrong-shoe theory goes, that’s what makes it cool.
