The 7 Best Bits from Aligne for Spring 2025

Welcome to The Great Try-On. With spring well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on the best new-in pieces from some of our favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL first and read candid reviews about fit, style and quality, so we hope our try-ons will lead you to your most successful purchases of the year.

With spring finally here, I’m looking for high-quality transitional pieces that I can wear again and again, and for this, I’m turning to Aligne. A cult brand amongst fashion people, this British label not only creates exceptional, socially conscious clothes; but its elevated tailoring and directional silhouettes bring a certain chic sophistication to every outfit. The brand’s signature hourglass shape can be found across its blazers, cardigans and tops, but as I discovered, there’s so much more to love in Aligne’s spring 2025 collection.

When looking for additions to my carefully considered wardrobe, quality and garment composition must come first, but this is difficult in the age of fast fashion when you’re also looking for playful pieces that won’t entirely break the bank. This is where Aligne comes in. A brand made by women for women, every piece is thoughtfully created to become one you’ll love year after year. It’s been a while since I was excited by almost every piece in a seasonal collection, but as you’ll see below, I feel like everything I tried would make a stellar addition to a spring wardrobe.

1. Midi Skirt + Waisted Blazer

My Review: As a true wardrobe staple, a black blazer can elevate any outfit, and I couldn’t not try Aligne’s Daphne style. I’m always looking for pieces that can transition from work to play, and this exceeded my expectations. The waist is cinched with a buckle at the back which helps to nip you in, and when paired with this A-line skirt, casual chic is easily achieved. I’d say the blazer is true to size, and I found a UK size 8 slightly too tight around the bust—worth taking into consideration, as this is a style you’d wear buttoned-up more than open.

The skirt fell long enough for my preference (I’m 5’10” and it hit just above my ankles), but I found it to run a little big, so I went for an 8 rather than my usual 10, and it was a great fit. For me, a reliable cotton skirt is a necessity in the run-up to summer, and this one just became my new favourite. It has an easy-breezy quality with a stretchy waistband and a slight balloon hem which creates visual interest, and I know it would elevate even the most mundane outfit.

My Review: As soon as I saw this striped polo, I knew I had to try it on. If like me, you want to dip your toe into the preppy aesthetic, this might be the top for you. Generous on the body (I sized up), its structured fit still has an effortless quality. The bold colourway is fresh, and colour is something I like to experiment with as the days get brighter.

When paired with barrel-leg jeans, the look is elevated. If you’re bottom-heavy like me, this silhouette might be perfect for you; I find it to be super flattering and cool, and I know these will be my go-to spring jeans. Made from the softest denim in a gorgeous mid-blue wash, they both look and feel high-quality.
