Alexa Chung has spoken out on how her fashion sense has changed revealing she used to wear her brother's clothes until she became more interested in boys and then started to take an interest in what she wore.

The Frock Me presenter  said: "My relationship with clothes is a funny thing. Having spent my formative years in a practical combination of jodhpurs, Wellington boots and my brother's hand-me-down jumpers, it wasn't until I discovered boys - and, in turn, vanity - that I became focused on how the jodhpurs flattered my arse - or not, as the case may be."

Even after then her sense of style still took a while to develop: "When I was modelling, it was mandatory to turn up to casting in an incredibly short denim skirt and some cowboy boots. It's weird to think that this was ever an OK look, but at least it provided me with some sort of uniform."

Today Alexa takes inspiration from her mother rather than her brother when it comes to fashion. She says: "Nowadays, I've resorted to doing a rather wooden impression of my mother's wardrobe in the late 80s when she wore denim shirts, Russell and Bromley loafers and satchel bags. Strong look."
