Whilst the heatwave may be going strong, signs of the new season have begun to trickle in. In fact, the first It autumn buy has arrived, and it’s an affordable piece that is making jeans, trousers and skirts look instantly polished. Leaning into one of summer’s most prominent trending motifs, Aligne has just launched the Saffron Knot Fastening Satin Shirt, and the most refined dressers are already wearing it on repeat.

This season we’ve seen a slew of trending pieces come to the fore, all with one intricate detail that is setting them apart from the rest. The delicate closure has been accenting blouses, tops, and now, as we move towards the milder months, this same feature is cropping up on long-sleeve shirts. Whilst innately elegant in look, Aligne elevates the style further with a satin finish, subtle flair cuffs and two enduring colourways.

It’s easy to see why this piece has already cemented itself as a favourite amongst the most stylish people we know. It leans into the current appetite for elevated basics, taking a simple long-sleeve top and adding intricate design details that make this high-street piece look and feel more like a luxury investment. Already, Londoners are showing how the piece can instantly elevate our capsule wardrobe pieces. For Francesca, it’s the matching satin trousers that complete her refined look, whilst Emma reaches for a pair of easy cut-off denim shorts and Lauren shows that bold balloon jeans can look exceedingly chic with this Aligne shirt in tow. With its versatility and refinement clear, this shirt is about to become the first new addition to my autumn wardrobe.
