As mercury rises, so does our longing for easy dresses that we can throw on. Enter: Aligne’s SS25 collection.
Renowned for its tailoring, like the sell-out Bonnie Ponte Waisted Blazer and viral Daphne Scoop Neck Linen Blazer, Aligne is now making a strong case as the hero of your summer wardrobe – particularly in the form of its new Immy Crochet Mini Dress.
Crochet dresses are a staple for the spring and summer fashion season, having become a steady runway feature from the 60s.
Fast forward to today, women-led brand Aligne is throwing its hat into the ring.
The Immy Crochet Mini Dress comes in a cream knit with contrasting brown stitch detailing along the seams, as well as ribbing detail at the hem and neckline.
The soft material is complemented by a shift-style cut, which creates a classic silhouette with a modern knit twist.
Priced at £99, this airy but occasion-worthy piece is no ordinary summer dress.
It’s an investment piece that will see you through events aplenty over the coming months, and can be adapted to your lifestyle.
It’s versatile enough to pack for your city breaks, but can also be worn at garden parties, for al fresco dining and even your work-from-office days.
For those planning a tropical getaway, the boho style would be perfect for dinner on the sand or chucking over a bikini for a beach club.
A match made in crochet heaven
If you’re a lover of matching items (I know that co-ords are making up 80% of my wardrobe this summer), then you’re in luck.
The Immy Crochet Mini Dress comes with its very own partner in crime – a matching Camilla Buttoned Crochet Top.
The knit waistcoat layers flawlessly over the dress, and features the very same contrasting brown stitch detailing along the seams.
Better yet, the button fastening means you can wear it open for an off-duty vibe, or keep it clasped for an air of sophistication.
Priced at £79, the V-neck top also looks chic with barrel leg jeans or linen trousers, complemented by a pair of mules or leather throngs.
East London-based Aligne is a proudly small-batch brand, so you might want to be quick to snap up your size in this crochet duo before it’s too late.
