Most fashion editors and experts will tell you that a classic camel trench coat is a can't-go-wrong autumn staple – but a denim trench coat? We're intrigued.

That's right: following the lead of 2023's penchant for denim layering (we're talking head-to-toe, double or even triple denim), we present to you autumn's offering – the denim trench coat, or more specifically, Aligne's ‘Jamison’ denim trench coat, which is currently doing the rounds on Instagram.

The appeal? Soft, slouchy 100% organic cotton denim makes this reimagining even easier to throw on than a traditional trench – yet those classic contrast-stitched details and pockets give it just enough structure to maintain that tailored feel. Come the colder weather, this versatile cover-up can be teamed with jeans for that denim-on-denim look, or even over a dress and knee-high boots for slightly smarter vibe.

So far, we've seen stylings from off-duty influencers who team it with wide-leg trousers and baby tees, tailored co-ords and even worn cinched at the waist to create a denim shirt dress. Sold.

Alongside the still-popular The Frankie Shop quilted jacket, the denim trench could just be your next autumn outerwear staple – you can even look to the likes of Bella Hadid, Sienna Miller and Hailey Bieber (who have previously endorsed the denim coat trend in many iterations) for inspiration.

The ‘Jamison’ trench is £249 and is currently still available to shop online – but like all cult items, it's expected to sell out sharpish. And in case you're unfamiliar, Aligne is a transparent British fashion brand that promises to use denim made from organic cotton, made using a technology that uses 80% less water (since conventional denim fabric is one of the worst-impacting on the environment).

So if you've found yourself in a coat conundrum this autumn – changeable weather dependant – consider it solved.
