As we move towards Autumn, we’re on the hunt for some new season pieces that will see us through the temperamental British weather. A classic trench coat is one of those pieces we always come back to.
Sturdy, versatile and always in fashion, the trench should be a staple in everyone’s wardrobe, and is a true signifier of good style.
Fashion’s elite have already crowned this year’s must-have trench coat, which was spotted at Copenhagen Fashion Week and is now all over Instagram, no less. The coat in question is from London-based fashion brand Aligne and is a reversible wax trench offering plenty of ways to wear.

Why we love it:
- Reversible, two-in-one design
- Made from at least 50% conscious materials
- Cord detailing on collar and cuffs
- Available in UK sizes 4-22
- Free returns
Other design details include the clever turn-ups on the cuff, made of cord, and the fact that both sides of the coat have pockets. We of course expected nothing less from female-run brand Aligne, who’s Gilda Trench Coat sold out last year.

A chunky necklace and statement pair of sunglasses completed her look.

The trench is available in sizes 4-22, and Aligne offers free returns, making it even more enticing to shop.
