I Already Have a Favourite Black Blazer, But This New Designer-Looking One May Just Trump It

If there’s one brand I always keep an eye on, it’s Aligne. The British label has quietly built a reputation for creating some of the best modern tailoring on the high street, and it’s easy to see why. With a focus on sharp cuts, quality fabrics, and timeless silhouettes, its pieces feel way more expensive than their price tags suggest. If you’ve ever tried the Daphne blazer, you’ll know exactly what I mean—it’s structured, flattering, and goes with everything, no wonder it’s one of Aligne’s most in-demand styles. As someone who leans towards a classic wardrobe, I love how seamlessly the brand’s pieces slot into my daily rotation without ever feeling boring. And with the amount of Gen Z influencers who call themselves a fan of the brand, you can rest assured the pieces work for every type of style aesthetic. So, when I saw that Aligne had just dropped a new blazer—the Bonnie Ponte Waisted Blazer—I knew I had to act fast. The brand expects it to be its next bestseller, and given how quickly it’s selling, I’m not the only one who’s convinced.

Thankfully, payday couldn’t have come at a better time, and the blazer is already in my basket. Now comes the fun part: deciding how to style it. The beauty of a great blazer is how easily it adapts to different outfits, and this one is no exception. Whether I’m leaning into preppy influences with a pleated skirt or keeping things laid-back with trainers and jeans, the Bonnie blazer is proving to be one of the most versatile pieces I’ve added to my wardrobe this season. Below, I’ve mapped out four outfit formulas I’ll be wearing on repeat—plus the exact pieces to shop for each.

Aligne Bonnie Ponte Blazer Outfits:

1. Bonnie Ponte Waisted Blazer + Pleated Mini Skirt + Socks and Heels

Style Notes: There’s no denying that preppy style is having a major moment, and I’m fully on board. Pairing this structured blazer with a pleated mini skirt leans into the trend while still feeling grown-up. I’ll be finishing the look with classic socks and heels—a styling trick I’ve spotted everywhere recently, from Miu Miu runways to street-style favourites.

2. Bonnie Ponte Waisted Blazer + Straight Jeans + Retro Trainers

Style Notes: For an easy everyday outfit, I’ll be styling the Bonnie blazer with straight-leg jeans and retro trainers—that seem to be everywhere right now. It’s that perfect blend of smart and casual—the blazer instantly elevates the denim, while the trainers keep it from feeling too formal.

3. Bonnie Ponte Waisted Blazer + Wide-Leg Trousers + Mary-Jane Flats

Style Notes: There’s something about the combination of a fitted blazer and wide-leg trousers that always looks elevated. Whether worn on its own or over a fine-knit roll-neck or a simple tee, this pairing has an understated elegance that never fails.

4. Bonnie Ponte Waisted Blazer + Leggings + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: For a relaxed yet pulled-together outfit, I’ll be wearing the blazer with leggings and knee-high boots. It’s a styling trick I always turn to when I want something easy but impactful—the boots give the leggings structure, while the blazer adds instant polish.
