We’ve come to associate a certain unruffled, casually cool aesthetic with Uniqlo’s clothing that’s also perfect for all weather dressing. Durability, classic design and great fit also play a huge part in this. Despite being a brand whose clothing don’t point to a distinct style, it certainly makes them unique (as indicated in the name), and winning the loyalty of customers all over the world. If your love for all things Uniqlo knows no bounds, and that’s the style you want to embrace for a while, here are other Indie brands you can check out that channel the same vibe.
Love Uniqlo’s Base-thetic? We've Handpicked These 10 Brands That Are Similar
June Studios
If it’s the breezy, minimal shirts and preppy outfits that can be the start of a wonderful capsule wardrobe you love about Uniqlo, go straight to June Studios. Many a basic shirt, top, and tunic you will find there. Clean cuts, pastel and pleasant hues feature mainly. The better news is that it's all in a relaxed fit without looking too boxy. Should that not appeal to you, they have plenty of options with more conventional cuts.
Exhale Label
If minimally graphic tees are your jam, then you’ll love Exhale Label’s collection. Crew neck tees, cropped hoodies, and printed tees and joggers in blacks, whites, and muted and dark hues are what they offer. They even have a couple of boxy shirts and shirt dresses that are minimal, crisp, and classic if that’s the Uniqlo vibe you love. Their menswear range on LBB (tees and joggers) also follow a similar suit.
Fluffalump
Uniqlo's loungewear is basics goals. So comfy, so light, so cool! The best part is you can actually wear some elements out of home too! Fluffalump has a similar range, from pj sets with pants and shirts, to ones with shorts for warmer days, all made with cool cotton (and satin, if that's more your thing). With the minor difference of having cute prints on all their nightwear, they fit to be super comfy while you get your beauty sleep.

Studio Y
If relaxed silhouettes, and super basic, no-nonsense cuts are how you decided to express yourself, then Studio Y has something for you. Boxy tops as well as basic crew neck and v-neck tees feature.
