Ace your Wimbledon wardrobe with Aligne's new summer collection

Ace your Wimbledon wardrobe with Aligne's new summer collection

Independenta day ago

Synonymous with strawberries and cream, Pimm's and the Royal Box, Wimbledon is just around the corner. But for fashion fans, the annual sporting occasion is just as much about serving looks.
The Championships officially kick off on Monday 30 June 2025, offering a chance to dress in your summer finest, weather permitting. Many onlookers decide to match the enforced all-white dress code for players, which has been tradition since the 1880s. Others lean into the preppy, thoroughly English feel of Wimbledon with plaid, stripe and cable knits.
Each year, summer textures come to the forefront (think crochet, boucle and broderie), as well as sharp tailoring from A-listers like Zendaya wearing ties to Olivia Cooke in a tweed dress suit.
There are a lot of options, and if you're lucky enough to be attending a match this summer, there's one high street label that can solve your Wimbledon wardrobe conundrums: Aligne.
Founded just five years ago, the British label has won itself a loyal fashion following thanks to its capsule approach. From its bestselling waisted blazers to signature denim collection of mini dresses and barrel jeans, the brand is all about creating tentpoles for your wardrobe.
Aligne's summer 2025 collection is its best yet. From crochet mini dresses and A-line waistcoats to co-ords and white sundresses, it serves plenty of inspiration for Wimbledon style. Here are the highlights.
Lending itself well to Wimbledon, crochet is a perennially chic summer texture. This mini dress features contrasting brown stitch detailing along the seams, complete with a ribbed crew neckline and sleeveless design. Boasting a comfortable, relaxed cut, the dress is made from an organic cotton fabric for a lightweight feel. You can style with a scarf in your hair and loafers for a perfectly preppy look.
Characterised by a laid-back crew neckline and sleeveless design, the horizontal stripes on this mini dress will work to elongate your figure. We love the contrasting textures of the boucle fabric and the frayed fringe hem. Crafted from an organic cotton and recycled nylon blend, the dress is sure to be airy and breathable, with a bit of give when it comes to the fit.
Aligne's bestselling Daphne blazer has been given an upgrade for summer 2025. Now crafted from a linen and cotton blend for a lightweight feel, the blazer features the brand's signature cinched-in waist, A-line silhouette and flattering scoop neckline. Available in a crisp Wimbledon white finish, the black buttons add sleek detailing.
White poplin skirts are a versatile wardrobe addition. Crafted from organic cotton, both the material and floaty A-line fit of Aligne's Natalie skirt make it a hero summer piece. Boasting an elasticated waist for comfort, the skirt features statement volume in the hem. Plus, it even has pockets.
Available in Wimbledon white or minimalist black, Aligne's Rosia dress is characterised by its on-trend drop waist silhouette. The fitted body flows down into a voluminous A-line midi skirt. Plus, the wide shoulder straps will easily conceal a bra.
Aligne's broderie co-ord can just as easily be thrown over a bikini on holiday as it can be dressed up for Wimbledon (just add ballet flats and a statement pair of sunglasses). The short-sleeved cotton shirt is designed in a boxy, androgynous cut with concealed buttons for a seamless look and a Seventies bowling-style collar. Both the shirt and matching shorts (£89, Aligne.co) are characterised by delicate square broderie detailing.

EXCLUSIVE Ncuti Gatwa spoke at pro-Palestine rally outside Parliament just days after sudden on-screen exit as Doctor Who

As the BBC 's Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa came under fire when he mysteriously pulled out of his Eurovision hosting duties moments after Israel qualified last month. Now it can be revealed that three days after the actor departed Doctor Who, he spoke at a pro-Palestine demonstration outside parliament. On 3 June, the actor, 32, stood in front of a banner reading ' Gaza: Actions Not Words' and delivered a speech to hundreds of people at the Westminster event, organised by Choose Love – a charity that this week supported Greta Thunberg 's 'selfie yacht' trip to Gaza. Gatwa had withdrawn from his role as a Eurovision Grand Final spokesman just 18 days before his speech at the rally. It has prompted renewed speculation as to his motivation for pulling out of the role and whether the BBC was aware that he would do so if Israel qualified. He had been due to announce the UK jury's points during the live broadcast but was replaced at short notice by singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, 46. The BBC made the change public only two minutes after Israel qualified for the final – prompting speculation that his withdrawal was a protest. The broadcaster cited 'unforeseen circumstances' as the reason. The timing raised eyebrows, as Israel's contestant, Yuval Raphael – a survivor of the October 7 Nova music festival attack – secured her place in the final that same evening. Gatwa has previously expressed support for the Palestinian cause on social media, sharing images of 'Free Palestine' graffiti and promoting fundraising campaigns. The Rwanda-born, Scotland-raised actor made history as the first Black actor to lead Doctor Who, taking on the role of the Fifteenth Doctor in 2023. However, his tenure ended after just two series, making him the second shortest-serving Doctor in the show's history – only Christopher Eccleston's single-series run was shorter. Gatwa's departure was announced in May 2025, when his character regenerated into Rose Tyler played by Billie Piper, 42, ending his 18-month stint in the Tardis. One attendee at the Westminster rally told the Mail: 'He actually read out the names of deceased Palestinian children from his mobile. 'Ncuti appears unaware that, despite his support for Palestine, he could face serious risks in parts of the Middle East. Given the timing – coming so soon after the Eurovision controversy and his abrupt departure from Doctor Who – his appearance may reflect a belief that his position at the BBC had become untenable.' He was joined at the rally by comedian Alexei Sayle and his former Doctor Who co-star Varada Sethu. Sethu, 33, who played companion Belinda Chandra in Doctor Who, who left the sci-fi show at the time as Gatwa, also spoke at the rally.

Love Island fans furious as huge part of show ‘goes missing' – as shock new couple emerge with secret snog

LOVE Island fans have been left furious after a huge part of the show went missing on tonight's episode. It was another drama-packed edition of the ITV2 dating series with this year's Islanders wasting no time in stirring up trouble with one another. 4 Snogs were being dished out left, right and centre with plenty of couple-swapping on the horizon. However, fans were left more irritated after an iconic feature was pulled from the episode. As the show ended on a Hideaway cliffhanger with Blu's shock snog with Shakira, fans were left on the edges of their seats hoping for a preview of the fallout. But the usual 'tomorrow night' preview was scrapped and the programme instead cut straight to the end credits. Narrator Iain Stirling has become known for his teased catchphrase but fans were not treated to that delight this evening. It left viewers wanting more as they raced to X - formerly Twitter - to share their annoyance. Reacting in disappointment, one fan said: "I hate when they don't give us a tomorrow night." A third wrote: "Erm?!!! Where's the tomorrow night preview ??? "Don't Introduce us to a vibe you cannot maintain pls." Love Island viewers horrified as bombshell makes 'disgusting' sex revelation Someone else said: "What no tomorrow night?? Kmt." It comes as fans were left discussing the eight-year age gap between the show's newest couple, Harry and Shakira. Things got rather steamy between the two but viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the fact Shakira is 22 while Harry is 30. One wrote: 'Shakira is 22??? Get her away from Harry and his 30 year old a** immediately!!' Someone else said: 'I just deeped the age gap with Shakira and Harry…' And another commented: 'Harry and Shakira look good together but he is 30.' 4 4
