The cult high street coat Sienna Miller and Katie Holmes swear by is back with an on-trend twist for winter
The ALIGNE George coat is back and better than ever
When it comes to autumn/winter dressing, few celebrities do it quite as well as Sienna Miller and Katie Holmes. Both style icons were spotted wearing the ALIGNE George coat last year, and now the coveted yet affordable design is making a welcome return to the high street for another season.
With its classic, structured silhouette and, this time around, a detachable faux fur collar to lean into the autumn/winter fashion trends 2026, it's exactly the kind of investment piece that will instantly elevate even the simplest jeans and jumper outfit.
The faux fur collar adds a luxurious finish while also offering extra warmth on the coldest of days. The long length feels grown-up and sophisticated, while the minimalist style makes it incredibly versatile. Just look at how Sienna and Katie wore theirs so differently - Sienna, with jeans during the day, and Katie, with a slinky cognac-coloured satin co-ord for evening glamour.

For everyday wear, I'd style the navy coat with straight-leg jeans, a chunky cable knit jumper and ankle boots. Or for a more polished look, tailored trousers and shirts will work beautifully beneath this cover-up. Navy is a softer alternative to black, and just think how much wear you'll get out of this coat for £295.
The latest version of the coat is available in three colours: black, grey and navy. Black is of course a classic choice, but there's something that's really pulling me toward the glamorous grey version too.
The tie belt can be worn done up to create a more fitted silhouette, or left open for a relaxed feel. With its classic design, the George coat is a great option if you're trying to buy less but invest in pieces you'll wear for longer. Unlike more trend-led outerwear, this will remain a wardrobe staple long after this season is over.

Available in UK sizes 4 to 22, the coat is made from a wool mix. According to the ALIGNE site, "the fit is slightly oversized - sizing down isn't necessary, but you may choose to size down if you prefer a neater fit."
I love the large lapels, belted cuffs and roomy pockets on this coat. It really does feel like a forever piece, plus you get free standard delivery on orders over £150.
ALIGNE is one of our favourite British clothing brands, and it's well worth checking out if you haven't tried it yet. A winter coat is one of the biggest and most important investments you make of the year, but I'm really confident you'll love this coat - especially since the detachable collar means you essentially get two coats for the price of one.
Given the popularity of the George coat last year, its return will be welcome news for anyone who missed out last time. But be warned, I'd recommend taking a look sooner rather than later since it's bound to fly off the virtual shelves.
