Denim dresses, tailored blazers and everyday pieces in organic cotton, the London label that made relaxed dressing feel confident.
Think: conscious dressing, confident silhouettes
The buy: the denim midi dress
the denim midi dress
Aligne does nipped-waist London tailoring at an accessible price: blazers and waistcoats that cinch in and pair easily with relaxed denim.
The signature is a collarless blazer cut in at the waist, with a back adjuster so the fit can be tuned, and the same nipped line runs through its longline waistcoats and fitted knits. The balance is feminine on top and easy below, with wide-leg organic cotton denim, fluid trousers and midi skirts, in a palette that mixes neutrals with confident color.

A sale landed in the last few days — Aligne runs one about every 4 weeks.
Dalbir Bains founded Aligne in London in 2020 as a sustainably minded label for everyday clothes at a fair price.
Ginny Seymour, a former buyer, joined in 2022 and relaunched it as CEO, building a new handwriting around a nipped waist on top and an easy line below. The waisted collarless blazer became the piece people know it for, alongside longline waistcoats, all designed in East London.
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
Most product pages say true to size, and the Daphne blazer and Leo waistcoat adjust at the back waist. Sizes run UK 4 to 22 (some styles XS to XL) and jeans W24 to W40; a few relaxed shirts note sizing up or down.
Denim is organic cotton, made in Turkey. Satins, tailoring and many knits blend Ecovero viscose with recycled polyester, leather pieces come from India, and the brand says every piece is at least half lower-impact materials. Fold knitwear rather than hang it.
The Daphne blazer has had waitlists in the thousands, has sold over 20,000, and returns each year in new fabrics and colors, from linen to leather.
US shipping is $14, free over $200, or $20 by express, and US orders arrive with no duties or taxes to pay on delivery.
Log a return within 14 days, then send it within a further 14. A £7 fee comes off US refunds, size exchanges are UK only (US gets store credit instead), and sale pieces cut by half or more are final.
