As boring as basics may seem, they're essential to building the perfect capsule wardrobe, and Uniqlo's stripped back, minimalist approach has always rendered it the go-to destination for elevated basics you can't live without - from the perfect knitted cardigan to the fits-basically-everything work bag - we could go on. Now, the brand has brought back its ever-popular pleated sets, and they're already sold out in most countries.
The pleated sets are famous for closely resembling Issey Miyake's finely pleated fabrics and simple geometric shapes, but at a far more attractive price range (£19.99, to be exact). Available in off-white, black, beige and blue, the sets consist of a boat-neck sleeve top as well as elegant straight leg trousers. The pieces can be worn together for a minimalist monochrome look, or paired with other items in your wardrobe to dress them up or down, making them exceedingly versatile.
The pleated tee and trousers have already garnered much attention on TikTok, with customers around the world wondering if and when they'll be re-stocked. With almost 200 5-star reviews on the Uniqlo website, comments such as 'I'll be buying every colour', 'so cool and comfortable' and 'nice material - no need to iron!' are taking over. We're sold.
Launching in the UK just last week, we're certain these will be flying off the shelves in no time.
