NYC Editors Say This Is the Hottest Brand of the Year—Shop Their Fall Looks

NYC editors Anna LaPlaca and Jasmine Fox-Suliaman like to keep busy and are always in the know. If they're not digesting the latest runway trends or sifting through thousands of products online, you'll find them attending press previews and brainstorming fresh outfit ideas. These city girls agree that they have literally seen it all, so when they report that a certain brand has caught both their eyes, believe me it's a big deal.

This year, Anna and Jasmine have been keeping tabs on ALIGNE, a small London-based brand. Season after season, the brand has curated an elevated selection of clothing that is effortlessly chic, sophisticated, and tailored to perfection. These pieces essentially style themselves and nail British style without compromise. The brand's latest fall collection has Anna and Jasmine extra smitten and has given them a dose of outfit inspiration from their fellow fashion girls across the pond.

Below, Anna and Jasmine styled two looks each using their favorite picks from ALIGNE's new arrivals. They both gravitated toward the Daphne Blazer—one of the brand's most popular and sought-out items—but barrel-leg jeans, an oversize collar shirt, and a detachable roll-neck sweater were also key selections. Here's everything these city girls recommend shopping for fall (along with helpful styling tricks).

"There's no singular item that's more reliable, more versatile, or chicer than a staple black blazer. I wear one multiple times a week in fall, so styling the Daphne Blazer and Soy cuffed jeans here was a no-brainer. The dark wash of the jeans looks extra elevated too, so this outfit is perfect for the office, dinner, and events after work. Sleek and simple is my ultimate fall vibe, and this look definitely captures that energy." — Anna LaPlaca, senior fashion editor

"These barrel jeans—let's talk about them! No fall wardrobe is complete without fresh denim, and that is precisely why I anchored this look with these. The barrel shape is especially hot right now, and I love how ALIGNE captured the dramatic silhouette while still ensuring they look sleek. I paired them with a staple gray pullover sweater and some bold silver accessories to play into the cool tones of the sweater—and voilà, an outfit that's trend-forward and classic." — LaPlaca

"I knew I wanted to test a blazer from ALIGNE, as the brand's suiting separates have blown up on social media. What I love about the Daphne Blazer is that the scoop neckline is an incredibly contemporary take on this classic wardrobe item. Plus, the chocolate-brown hue is drool-worthy. I styled it with the Hazel denim wrap skirt for a more casual work setting. Its silhouette mimics a pencil skirt so that it can work for the office, but it's not as formfitting, so it's far more comfortable. When it came to accessories, I knew I wanted to add a pop of pink with my bag and slingback heels. This look strikes the perfect balance between classic and contemporary." — Jasmine Fox-Suliaman, fashion editor

"So many staples make surviving the transition from summer to fall easy. However, I'm partial to the simplicity of a button-down shirt, like the Carol Collar Shirt. I particularly love that ALIGNE has taken this 'boring' staple and made it feel bolder through a dramatic Peter Pan collar. It also looked so good layered underneath the Belle Denim Scoop Dress! The fit is incredibly flattering and fun. This is an elegant outfit I can wear everywhere in New York—whether my plans include going to a local farmers market, visiting a museum, or having brunch with the girls." — Fox-Suliaman
