22 Expensive-Looking Shopping Picks From Uniqlo
If you're in the market for expertly crafted wardrobe essentials (which I always am), then you'll already be aware of just how excellent Uniqlo is. Known for both its quality and technical fabrics, the high-street giant has become a minimalist style haunt. That said, there's nothing basic about it. Over recent years, the brand has commanded additional fashion clout thanks in part to its collaborations with JW Anderson and Alexander Wang, putting it firmly on the radar of both editors and influencers alike.

This winter, however, I think its collection is stronger than ever. With items from a host of chic outerwear (everything from cropped parkas to pea coats), any-occasion dresses and impossibly soft knitwear to off-duty flannel shirting and the most perfect-fitting jeans, I rarely cross Uniqlo's threshold without garnishing an armful of bags. Well, at prices usually sitting around the £30 to £40 mark, it's hard to contest.
Keep scrolling to shop my edit of the best pieces Uniqlo has to offer this season. If you're not already a convert, you soon will be.
You'll be hard pressed to find another cashmere cardigan at this price.
Try pairing these trousers with trainers and a hoodie when you're off the clock.
Wear with sheer tights and black courts for a laid-back going out look.
