With 2026 right around the corner, it's time to stock up on easy pieces 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, and while browsing the brand's website afterward, I was pleasantly surprised by how many super-chic basic styles were available for under $100. Below, I'm listing my top picks for your shopping pleasure.

You can expect a range of items, from an on-trend barn jacket to affordable yet chic sweaters. On top of that, Uniqlo has amazing markdowns for its Holiday Sale worth checking out. Keep scrolling to shop Uniqlo basics.
