This viral jacket had a waiting list of over 2,500 people, and it's now back in stock
From Marks & Spencer's khaki utility jacket, which caused a storm on social media, to the ubiquity of the brown suede blazer on the high street, there have been several jacket trends making their mark in 2025.
Few, however, can come close to popularity of Aligne's Daphne blazer, which is currently the jacket of choice for many stylish women, and regularly spotted at fashion weeks across the globe.

So what makes this particular blazer special? First up, it's a welcome change from the massively oversized tailoring that has been trending over recent seasons, with its body-skimming, waist-nipping shape. One thing we particularly love is that the jacket features a buckle at the back so you can adjust the fit.
It's also excellent for balancing out volume on your bottom half – with long sleeves, buttons to the waist and a split hem, the Daphne's shape is perfect for pairing with maxi skirts or high-waisted trousers. The coolest girls at Copenhagen Fashion Week wore theirs with voluminous, barrel-leg jeans.
The main drawback is, of course, that the blazer is often sold out. In fact it is so seriously in demand that there was a 2,500 person waiting list until the brand recently restocked the jacket online.
The high-necked Daphne blazer is currently available in classic black or navy for £175 – an investment piece, yes, but one that will have serious staying power in your wardrobe. We'll be buying one now to throw on over summer dresses for wedding season and wear it back-to-back come winter.
Of course, given that cinched-in tailoring is something a signature aesthetic for the brand, Aligne has produced lots of versions to choose from, including different fabrics such as linen, various colours (on-trend butter yellow features) and a waistcoat in a similar style. If you don't love a buttoned up neckline, there is also a scoop neck version in summer-ready white.
