Welcome back to Underrated Icons, a column that looks at the styles and influence of icons both past and present who don’t always get the fashion credit they deserve.

If I were to ask you to name a fashion and beauty icon with the last name Chung, your first thought would probably be a certain It Girl named Alexa. Who you might not think of is Jamie Chung.

With a successful acting and media career behind her, which began on MTV’s The Real World, Jamie has played Mulan on ABC’s Once Upon a Time and voiced GoGo Tamago in Big Hero 6. She is also a fashion blogger at What the Chung? and has collaborated with L*SPACE to design a swimwear collection, Revolve to design a bridal micro-collection, and Banana Republic. She’s also used her fame as a platform to give a voice to the issues that Asian American actors face in Hollywood.

This week I’ll give you some insight into Jamie’s trendy but timeless style and how to bring it to your own everyday wardrobe. Keep reading for our guide to Jamie Chung’s style.

Jamie’s style is super sleek but also modern. To stay comfy but polished on your way to class, pair a neutral sweater with a classic and edgy leather jacket. Instead of wearing your usual skinnies, upgrade to a pair of raw-hem straight leg jeans and wear it with trendy lace-up flats and a faux leather backpack. Finish with a menswear-inspired accessory in the form of an oversized watch.
