I'm Upgrading My Closet With These Chic Takes on Winter Essentials
Sponsor Content Created With Uniqlo
Here's the truth: I used to live in a house with four of my friends, and we all used to buy the same Uniqlo U sweaters and jackets in different colors. It was never planned, it just happened, and somehow we were always surprised enough to spot each other in a new Uniqlo item and exclaim, "Wait, I just bought that in navy!" or grey, or black, or brown—you get it.
It should come as no surprise that we'd gravitate toward Uniqlo's specialty line headed by the high-fashion Parisian designer Christophe Lemaire, formerly of Hermès, Lacoste, and YSL. Lemaire is credited with imbueing Hermès with a simplified athesthetic that never sacrificed on luxury. And with Uniqlo U, he sets out to accomplish a somewhat opposing task: elevating a brand that is well known for its simplicity. So, these days, when Lemaire isn't running his eponymous label, he's overseeing this ultra-modern line of Uniqlo essentials meant to see consumers through seasons and seasons to come. This year's F/W collection is no different: It's filled with innovative and chic designs like padded parkas and trenches, merino sweaters and twill pants, bow tie dresses and satin midi skirts. My cart is already overflowing quality goods—keep scrolling to see what I'm buying.

Aralyn Beaumont joined Who What Wear as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoring Who What Wear's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
