I've Tried So Many Basics From Uniqlo — But These Are What I'd Actually Buy

If you haven't already, consider this your sign to give Uniqlo a real chance. It's long been my go-to spot for basics year-round. I live in HeatTech undershirts all winter long and the brand's iconic plain white tees during the warmer months. Nary a season passes without picking up more essentials, and it's time for you to do the same. The universe has brought us together so that I can sing the gospel of this affordable Japanese clothing brand.

Below, I've rounded up some must-haves currently on sale at Uniqlo. They're staple pieces that belong in every closet and have a timeless silhouette that will stand the test of time, both literally and aesthetically. Compared to other fast fashion retailers like Zara or H&M, Uniqlo items are made with high-quality materials, which I have found helps the clothing last longer and look better. The trick to shopping at Uniqlo is to pick up a few wardrobe basics to carry you through each particular season.

The brand has an uncanny ability to know exactly what its audience wants and needs every season, and has mastered creating fabrics that make each specific time of year comfortable and stylish. It's HeatTech clothing and lightweight, packable puffer jackets are considered cold-weather staples, while the AIRism collection makes the heat bearable.

For a decade he was the trusted right-hand man to Prince William and Prince Harry and later helped Catherine shape her royal role before becoming godfather to Prince George. Having earlier served as equerry to the Queen Mother, the former Irish Guards officer became an SAS troop and squadron commander, earning an MBE for his part in smashing a Colombian drugs cartel.

But after a lifetime of service – from the battlefield to Buckingham Palace – Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton is stepping out of the shadows with his first novel, a gripping wartime thriller inspired in part by his extraordinary career and the remarkable life of his late mother. "It's a funny feeling, but it's rather exciting actually," he tells HELLO!

In 1984, while in his early 20s he was plucked from a trench in northern Germany and selected to spend two years as the Queen Mother's equerry, which he describes as "absolutely unforgettable".

What Your Hairstylist Wishes You Knew About Wig Care

Wigs have become a major part of many women’s beauty routines. Whether it is a sleek bob for work, glamorous curls for a wedding, or a simple everyday unit, a good wig offers convenience, versatility and confidence.

Yet while many women are willing to invest significant amounts of money in quality hair, not everyone spends the same amount of effort maintaining it. This is why hairstylists often see expensive wigs that look far older than they should.

The truth is that most wig problems are preventable. Excessive shedding, dryness, tangling and dullness are often the result of everyday habits that gradually damage the hair over time. If wigs could talk, they would probably have plenty of complaints. Fortunately, hairstylists have already heard them all.

Chanel and Tribeca’s Through Her Lens Luncheon Was Worth Dancing About

Katie Holmes, Meg Ryan, and Jodie Foster were among the stars who gathered to celebrate women filmmakers at the annual event.

Over in Europe, Chanel stores were mobbed this week as Matthieu Blazy fans lined up to get their hands on the designer’s first Métiers d’Art collection. But at the Greenwich Hotel Courtyard in New York, a much more subdued, yet equally Chanel-clad, group gathered. On Friday, June 5, Chanel hosted its annual lunch in celebration of Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program. There, the brand and Tribeca Film Festival toasted eleven years of an initiative that highlights and connects bold, visionary female filmmakers.

The guest list was a cross-generational mix of stars from film, television, art, and music with Katie Holmes, Meg Ryan, Jodie Foster, Myha’la, Bethann Hardison, and filmmakers Patty Jenkins and Mira Nair (aka the First Mother of New York) all in attendance. Ryan, in a tonal cream look featuring oversized pants, found some much-coveted shade in the restaurant’s courtyard where she chatted with Foster (casual in a Chanel Charvet shirt) and nibbled on passed hors d'oeuvres. Meanwhile, Francesca Scorsese, who arrived fashionably late, took a moment to connect with Tommy Dorfman.

What fans will really wear to the 2026 Fifa World Cup

Football fashion heading into the 2026  Fifa World Cup is sitting firmly in that sweet spot where sportswear, streetwear and lifestyle dressing blur into one very wearable aesthetic.

It is less about looking like a traditional fan and more about looking like you “just happened” to support a team while still serving as a full outfit and probably posing like you are on your way to a brand campaign.

Across stadiums and fan zones, sports-luxe and elevated athleisure are expected to dominate.
