Aligne’s reversible trench coat now comes in a new colourway – and all the Cool Girls are wearing it
Known for its contemporary and more accessible take on fashion, Copenhagen Fashion Week is rapidly becoming our favourite place to spot a trend, evidenced by the number of influencers sharing their recent street style looks on Instagram.
And there is one hero piece that has piqued our interest – the now-viral Barnaby Reversible Wax Trench Coat by Aligne.
The original beige iteration was first worn by the likes of Amaka Hamelijnck and Hollie Mercedes Peters at CFW last autumn, and following its sell-out success, the East London-based label has unveiled a fresh update for spring in navy and stone white.

Design details including contrast stitching, large cuff turn-ups and a contrasting tie belt add luxe appeal to the style classic.
With the original version prompting 1,000 people sign up to the waiting list for a restock, influencers including Polly Sayer, Amaka Hamelijnck and Hollie Mercedes Peters have worn the latest Barnaby trench at Copenhagen Fashion Week, each styling it in their own unique way.
