Welcome to The Essentials, our series highlighting a must-have classic that’s key to building a timeless, pulled-together closet.
Between its designer collaborations and its ultimate seasonal staples, UNIQLO knows exactly what to do when collating new-season pieces. The brand’s unique tailoring and clean aesthetic runs rampant throughout its styles, and like clockwork, it has done it again with its AIRism collection. These high-quality styles keep you dry as they wick moisture, release heat, and absorb sweat, which is the secret to ultimate comfort.
I always struggle to find the perfect layering pieces during the hotter months, so this entire collection is just what I need as summer creeps up. UNIQLO has also drawn inspiration from this season’s most coveted pastel colors—subtle greens, peaches, and yellows take center stage alongside a variety of neutrals. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of the collection, and needless to say, I’m obsessed. Take a look below at my top picks for the season.
The sleek square neckline and narrow shoulder straps make for a versatile piece to wear under my cardigans.
This is crafted from extra-fine fibers for a silky-smooth touch, so I’ll be wearing it all on its own.
Made with a soft and smooth cotton gusset, these briefs are not only practical but the sharp, sleek design also makes them stand out from your cotton pair.
You can never have enough camisoles, and if you’re going to add another to your roster, make it this free-flowing and sweat-wicking piece.
This piece has a built-in bra, making it the ultimate lightweight top.
Hear me out: This brown tank top paired with wide-leg pants and a white linen shirt is the perfect summer look.
Ultimate compression crafted from the smoothest quick-drying fabric. I can’t fault these shorts—they’re life savers for summer chafing.
A tank top with a sleek hem design and no under-bust band at the back. I’ve already added four to my cart.
Low-rise hip-hugger briefs that promise to stay hidden under outer layers? Yes, please.
I’ve found the first undershirt that I literally do not sweat through thanks to the quick-drying technology.
With convenient side pockets, a high waist, and UV protection, these are the ultimate pants for both working out and lounging.
