When faced with the task of creating or adding to a capsule wardrobe, there’s one place we’d recommend everyone—be they friends, family, or indeed, readers—turn to; Uniqlo. Why? Ask any member of the Who What Wear UK team, and they’ll tell you its the brand they always find the best basics from. Nearly all of these pieces come under the Uniqlo collection of LifeWear; simple, high-quality, everyday clothing. With everything from merino knitwear to perfectly-cut T-shirts in an expansive colour palette, Uniqlo’s collection of style staples is inimitable.
This season, however, it’s as if the brand has set out to prove that it is so much more than a source for replacement jersey vest tops. You need only look at Uniqlo’s new-in section, and you’ll see that the spring collection boasts an array of impressive hero pieces, too. Fear not, the design team hasn’t deserted its covetable pared-back aesthetic, quite the contrary—it has taken it to the next level. From sleek tailoring that could easily pass for designer to dresses that bear a striking resemblance to Marianne’s Italian wardrobe in Normal People, Uniqlo’s springtime edit is a treasure trove of must-have pieces that look well beyond their price-tags, that you’ll love and wear for seasons to come.
