The Sophisticated High-Street Top I'd Wear With Jeans and Skirts Is Now on Sale
As an editor, I’m often asked about building a capsule wardrobe. Those key pieces that can be mixed and matched for endless outfits, and relied upon for mornings when it feels like you have nothing to wear. Truthfully, my answer hasn’t changed much in the many years I’ve worked in fashion, plugging the classics like a great white T-shirt, the perfect jeans, and sleek tailored trousers. More recently though, a new style has joined this hero capsule, as aesthetics have become increasingly more sophisticated and put-together: I now consider a waistcoat to be an important piece.
Anna wears the Aligne Leo Long Waistcoat (£119)
Polish has become an ever-important feel when getting dressed, which we've seen grow over the past few years with smart tailoring reclaimed into the everyday. Clean-cut, tailored trousers were the first noticeable piece to bridge the gap between put-together and everyday ease, closely followed by the now beloved waistcoat. Worn with jeans, floaty skirts, micro-minis or simple trousers, the waistcoat has become a modern-day staple for stylish people. But like every addition to our forever wardrobes, finding the right one is important if it’s going to go the distance, and Aligne’s Leo waistcoat is destined to do that.
Angie wears the Aligne Leo Linen Waistcoat (now £60)
You don’t just have my word to take, as the Leo waistcoat has consistently appeared on some of the chicest fashion people around since it first released. True to the brand, the Leo waistcoat has set itself apart from the rest by focusing on elevated design details, undeniable wearability and a reasonable price point for a lifelong staple.
Sarah wears the Aligne Leo Long Waistcoat (£119)
As a brand, Aligne is focused on simple lines, distinct cuts and enduring designs that are made to last. Their silhouettes are what bring classic designs with a contemporary edge into balance, made clear by Leo's longline silhouette and adjustable back strap which allows the shape to be more fitted or loose as desired. The high scoop neckline gives a modest finish, whilst the multitude of buttons finish just at waist height to create an elevated silhouette. And with a range of colourways and fabric choices to choose from, Aligne has ensured that there's a style to suit all. Plus, the linen styles are currently on sale and in stock in all sizes.

This would also look great with a white midi skirt, black mini or the matching red trousers.
I haven't stopped thinking about the denim striped style since I first saw it.
SHOP MORE ALIGNE:
A new addition to the Aligne roster that I'm sure will soon be a best seller.
We're on the cusp of autumn days and I'll be relying on this cardigan for the rest of the year.
