The Best of Uniqlo – Winter Wardrobe Basics

Uniqlo may not be the most exciting retailer, but I adore their chic utility, comfy materials, flattering silhouettes, and bang for your buck. They are my go-to for winter wardrobe basics like turtlenecks, inoffensive puffer jackets, and leggings. We need these basic items to complement our more bold or printed pieces, and sportier casual looks.

Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Compact Jacket

The Uniqlo ultra light down compact jacket is my absolute go-to for my clients who request outerwear in the “puffer” realm. I love the sleek look, range of rich colors, and flattering fit. The jacket also folds up efficiently for travel. Although it’s best with casual looks, it can be dressed up.

Sizing tip: Runs small.

Uniqlo Heattech Knitted Extra Long Leggings

I love the Uniqlo heattech knitted extra long leggings for my taller clients as well as my shorter clients who like a scrunched look. I like to pair the leggings with booties to show off a layered look on the ankle. You can also wear them around the house with the extra length pulled around your foot for warmth. Note: the crotch is not reinforced so it can wear out relatively quickly.
