Uniqlo is known for its hard-working basics and the retailer’s latest collection, from former Givenchy designer and newly appointed creative director, Clare Waight Keller, is just more proof. Wardrobe essentials make up the British designer’s Uniqlo: C Autumn/Winter 2024 drop, which features cold weather-ready pieces like cashmere knits, tailored sets, airy midi dresses and more. The new collection also serves up Uniqlo LifeWear essentials, the brand’s line of elevated basics, balancing style, quality and practicality ahead of the transitional season.
Available to shop from 5th September, Uniqlo: C is inspired by city living and one of Keller’s favourite London landmarks, the Barbican Centre (where the campaign was also shot). In an interview for Uniqlo, Keller points out how the performing arts centre’s clean lines and neutral colours translated into the on-the-go vibe of the collection. “It’s that intersection of culture and art that interests me,” Keller says. “Here, everyone is on the move.”
Whether you’re heading to the office, to dinner or on a casual day out, Uniqlo: C gets all your autumn basics right. Scroll on to explore our favourite looks from the collection.
Uniqlo: C Belted Shirt Dress
When you can wear a dress belted, loose and unbuttoned, you know you’ve got a versatile piece on your hands. Layer over a roll-neck top and tights for a comfy dress look, or wear as a shirt with jeans and a basic tee.
Uniqlo: C Wool Blend Wrap Coat
A lightweight coat is an underrated autumn staple. Not only is this one made from a wool blend fabric that will keep you warm, it’s not too bulky either, which means easy layering (and carrying). Pair it with matching hues for a stylish monochromatic look.
Uniqlo: C Cashmere Crew Neck Cardigan
This cardigan can be styled with practically anything in your wardrobe. Bonus points for its relaxed fit, 100% cashmere composition and multiple colourways including grey, beige, black and baby pink.
Uniqlo: C Belted Flared Skirt
Midi skirts are a year-round essential and this iteration’s utilitarian style adds a sleek edge. Like a skirt version of cargo trousers, this is perfect for city commutes, all-day wear and transitional temperatures.
Uniqlo: C Quilted Coat
This quilted coat is a sneaky statement piece because it’s warm and practical, too. Dress it up or down depending on the occasion — and be prepared to pull it out all season long.
The Uniqlo: C Autumn/Winter 2024 collection is available at Uniqlo.com.
