I’ve Been Eyeing Up This Chic High Street Coat For Months — Now It’s In The Winter Sales

There's nothing quite like a well-timed January sale to lift spirits when our bank accounts might have post-festive fatigue, and it's not just any January sale either, but Aligne's. If you're an avid sales shopper you'll probably already know that not all sales are created equal, and while other brands are busy shifting stock, Aligne's sale is less bargain bin and more curated capsule wardrobe perfection. A collection of staples and investment pieces, its secret sale is somewhat of a haven for savvy shoppers who are looking to take a more considered approach to collating their wardrobe this year.

The George Coat features snug details like a tie belted waist to give you that cocooned-like fit, as well as a wool-blend outer and long sleeves with cuff detailing. The coat comes naturally oversized, so it's advised to shop your normal size. Plus, the style is available in three other colours; black, brown and navy.

Front and centre of the Aligne sale is the George Wrap Coat, a style you've undoubtedly seen before on your Instagram feed, and one that's certain to keep you warm, even during the iciest of commutes. With its generously slouchy silhouette and a tie belt for that perfectly cinched look, the George coat is as versatile as it is covetable. Pair with leather knee high boots and a roll-neck jumper in the day, or throw it on over a satin midi dress and kitten heels in the evening, either way, this is a piece that's destined to be the backbone of your winter wardrobe.

The Sawyer Cardigan has chic brown stripe detailing which elevates it from your average piece of knitwear. Also, the cardigan makes for an excellent investment (even if it wasn't in the sale) as it can be worn as a high neck, roll neck or backward, creating three different looks for the price of one.

The Aligne sale doesn't stop there. Between coats, jumpers, tops and waistcoats, you'll find the sale brimming with other covetable pieces, including the Sawyer Striped Cardigan. With its ribbed cuffs, buttoned neckline and classic Breton-inspired stripes, it's the kind of layering piece you'll reach for on repeat. Whether you're looking to stock up on staples or more avant-garde investment pieces, this is a sale worth scrolling through.

If you haven't already got a blue striped shirt in your wardrobe, then take this as your sign to get one. The styling possibilities are endless once you've got a striped shirt in your arsenal - pair with jeans, under jumpers, even wear it open with flared trousers, there's nothing it won't go with.

What's better than a denim top? A diamante denim top, of course. This one from Aligne features an on-trend square neck, popper fastening at the back and boxy relaxed fit. Style with wide-leg tailored trousers and chunky loafers.

If there's one item in particular Aligne is known for, it's waistcoats. From the viral linen waistcoat that were trending last summer, to its iteration as a mini dress, the brand knows how to make a great waistcoat. Now, the popular Quinn style, which features a navy striped design, is on sale.

Another Aligne coat that's been doing the rounds on social media is the Stella style, made in a gorgeous chartreuse shade and finished with padder shoulders and large lapels. The best part, perhaps, is the three well-sized pockets to hold all your small essentials.

If you had any doubt about Aligne waistcoats, this Leo design is one of the most flattering on the market. With a tailored silhouette that slightly cinches the waist and flares at the bottom, this waistcoat has a luxurious satin finish and high neckline. Pair with leather trousers or barrel jeans.

If you like the waistcoat style, but would prefer it in - let's say - a dress, the Panya is exactly that. A waistcoat-esque mini dress with a tailored fit (as you'd expect from a waistcoat), this dress also has a racer crew neckline and buttons all the way down the front.

Although it may be too cold to go out just wearing a jacket at the moment, we have to remind ourselves that spring is coming. A fabulous jacket to invest in for that in-between weather, or even as a key layering piece to put underneath a thicker coat, this jacket has a collarless design, dropped shoulders and two front patch pockets.

Every winter wardrobe needs a good knitted hoodie, and this grey one is perfect. Designed with classic hoodie features like a kangaroo pocket and ribbing at the hem and cuffs, the Aligne jumper comes with more unique elements too, like its knitted fabric.

Wraparound and kilt skirts absolutely dominated the last London Fashion Week, and if you're wanting in on the trend too, the Hazel Skirt from Aligne is a good place to start. The skirt has a mid-rise waist and knee length, meaning it can be styled with knee high boots in the winter, and chunky sandals in the summer.
