With 2026 right around the corner, it’s time to stock up on some easy basics that’ll support your wardrobe next year. As a Los Angeles resident, I rely heavily on elevated basics to carry me through the year, so I’m always on the lookout for great options. Recently, I attended an event celebrating the opening of Uniqlo USA’s newest location in Santa Monica. Upon browsing the brand’s website, I was pleasantly surprised by how many super chic basic styles were available for under $100. Below, I’ve curated a few top picks for your shopping pleasure.
In the mix, you can expect a range of items from an on-trend barn jacket to affordable yet chic sweaters. On top of that, Uniqlo also has a range of amazing markdowns for its Holiday Sale, worth checking out too. Keep scrolling to shop Uniqlo basics.
