UNIQLO Essentials For Winter

I have gone through Uniqlo's entire winter catalog and these are the five best winter essentials in my opinion, of course. First off, we have the fleece mock neck long sleeve t-shirt. Made from an ultra smooth and stretchy fleece fabric and cut in a regular fit, this long sleeve makes for an excellent base layer for winter. It comes in nine different colors, but as always, I like to keep it simple with the white and black. You can easily style this under an overshirt for a scanty minimal look, but I quite like how Greg styled it here under a blazer and a parka with the hiking style shoes and the infamous utility bag. Now if I wanted to layer a sweater on top of it, I would pick something like this. The fleece button-up pullover is a lightweight but warm and cozy fleece that is great for layering on top of the mock neck tee, creating that double mock neck look. But you can also layer it over some heat tech or a simple crew neck t-shirt. It comes in six different colors in a slightly relaxed fit, but it is not overly baggy and it has subtle design elements like the snap buttons that give it an outdoorsy style. So it's perfect if you're into a more utilitarian style. I could see this being styled with some wide leg cargos or some corduroy trousers for example. Or in a more minimal smart casual outfit like Victor is pulling off here with the white sneakers and the smart trousers, which if I'm not mistaken are actually my next item, the pleated wide leg trousers. These have for sure become my favorite pair of pants from Uniqlo within the past year. And actually the brand has even listened to the customer feedback and updated the trousers since they were initially released. They now have a straight fit all the way down to the hem instead of being tapered, which I think gives them a much better silhouette and they've also made the rise slightly lower. It's been released in a wide number of colorways over the years, but right now there seems to be four available on the website, black, beige, olive, and navy. I feel like this is one of those pieces that you can style in completely different directions. You could go for something very classic for an office slash business environment by hemming the pants to a slight break or take more risk with a full break and a more fashion forward silhouette with the rest of your outfits. Next up we have the seamless down 3D cut parka. This high performance down jacket has a seamless design to help keep the cold air out and you warm. It also has a water repellent finish to protect you from light rain. In comparison to the Uniqlo U puffer jacket, which has a more oversized fashion forward silhouette, this jacket is cut slimmer and closer to the body, so it's easier to style in business attire, but also looks great in more casual outfits provided you don't wear anything too oversized underneath. It comes in five different colors, black, light gray, orange, dark green, and navy. The most versatile ones I'd say are black and navy, but to be honest I think the orange can look quite cool as well as a pop of color. I think Abraham here pulls it off really nicely as a statement piece, pairing it with orange's contrasting color, green. Sometimes a baseball cap just isn't enough to keep your head warm. And that's where the Heat Tech ribbed beanie comes in. An absolute must for winter, this simple ribbed beanie comes in a wide range of different colors, although keep in mind availability is different depending on where you live. I've gone for the off-white one. I think it's a nice change from my usual black caps, and it pairs well with almost any color. Lastly, I know I said five pieces, but it would feel odd to make a video about Uniqlo winter essentials without mentioning anything about the Heat Tech thermals. Even though these are meant to be base layers that aren't really visible when you're dressed, they are an absolute staple of my winter wardrobe and a great hack to stay warm. They fit snug so you can easily layer on top, and I wear the ultra warm ones which are the warmest ones, but they also have them in two other levels of warmth if you wanted something a bit cooler. And that sums up my Uniqlo winter essentials. All of the pieces mentioned are linked in the description. I hope you enjoyed the video, my friends, and I wish you a beautiful day.
