And just like that, summer is here for another season - and we are absolutely ready for long picnics in the park, crisp rosés at post-work drinks on a Friday, and wearing our favourite hot weather clothing over and over again.
Speaking of, one of our favourite brands, ALIGNE, has just launched its summer sale with a massive 40 per cent off warmer weather gear, including denim dresses, wedding guest attire, and the lightest, comfiest linens around.
With its viral waistcoat that has the fashion girlies fawning and its flattering feminine silhouettes, it’s no wonder ALIGNE has a roster of A-listers lining up to be seen in the label, with everyone from Katie Holmes and Holly Willoughby, to Rochelle Humes sporting the brand.
If you haven’t already heard of ALIGNE, buckle up. It’s a women-led brand created in the UK that designs each piece with purpose, from the colours it uses to its inclusive size range from a UK 6 to a 22. Plus, it’s surprisingly affordable for the quality of items it produces. Overall, investing in pieces from this brand really is a win-win.
Its women-centric ethos goes beyond its tailoring too, as it supports women’s initiatives such as SmartWorks, a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women to help them succeed in job interviews, and it also sponsors women's and girls' rugby programs.
The brand also has an eco-conscious mindset, as its small team operates from a net-zero office in East London where it collaborates with local makers and other female-helmed businesses.
“At ALIGNE, we stand for confidence. We celebrate and champion women creating their own paths and inspiring others along the way – an ethos that is reflected in our community and partnerships,” ALIGNE CEO Ginny Seymour says. “From athletes to role models and trailblazers, ALIGNE is for women who lift each other up, whether that’s at home, in the workplace, or on the field.”
Now, with its 40 per cent off summer sale, you can save on some of its most popular items, including its bestselling Leo linen waistcoat, which has been reduced from £119 to £79.99, or its Gabriella Denim Dress, which is currently a steal at just £89.99. Whatever your vibe, we guarantee you can find something from ALIGNE that will take pride of place in your summer wardrobe rotation.
