Alanui Finest is the label's line of plain, pared-back essentials in cashmere blends, from the Icon cardigan without a pattern to polos, tank tops, bralettes and a long belted coat. It is Alanui for people who love the shape and the yarn more than the motif, and Coveti carries it in the Alanui collection.
Key facts
- Alanui's plain essentials line, with no jacquard motif
- Cashmere and silk, and cashmere and cotton blends
- Includes cardigans, coats, polos, trousers, bralettes and culottes
- Cardigans keep the Icon fit, fringe and tie belt
Two yarns
Most Finest pieces come in one of two blends. Cashmere and silk, with a little polyester, gives a fluid drape and a soft sheen, used for the Icon cardigans, the polos and the wide trousers. Cashmere and cotton, in a lightweight rib, is used for the T-shirts, tank tops, bralettes and culottes, and it is the more casual of the two. Coats and jackets use richer cashmere and silk.
The key pieces
1. Finest Cardigan in Coffee
The Icon shape in plain coffee cashmere and silk, with the fringe and tie belt. The everyday Alanui.
2. Finest Coat in Coco Grey
A long belted coat in cashmere and silk rib, with patch pockets.
3. Finest Cardicrop in Black
The cardicrop: a cropped, buttoned cardigan in English rib cashmere and cotton.
4. Finest Polo in Black
An oversized knitted polo in cashmere and cotton.
5. Finest Pants in Coffee
Wide, oversized trousers in cashmere and silk, to wear with the matching cardigan.
6. Finest Dress in Canvas
A rib-knit maxi slip with long adjustable straps and a slit.
7. Cashmere Bralette in Capriolo
A cashmere bralette with ribbed trims, to wear under an open cardigan.
How Finest fits
Cardigans keep the roomy Icon fit. The polos and wide trousers are oversized by design. The bralettes, bra and culottes fit slim. All use letter sizes, with an S a UK 8 and an M a UK 10. See the Alanui size guide.
How to wear it
Build tonal sets: coffee on coffee, black on black, canvas on canvas. Then add one jacquard piece when you want the full Alanui effect.
