There’s something endlessly fascinating about the way style icons master the art of everyday dressing. It’s not just about the statement pieces or the runway moments—it’s the quiet confidence of well-curated basics. This season, UNIQLO’s 2025 Spring/Summer LifeWear Collection takes the spotlight, redefining wardrobe essentials with effortless elegance. In an exclusive preview at The Balmori Tent in Rockwell, some of the country’s most stylish personalities gave us a glimpse into their favorite go-to pieces—and why these basics are anything but ordinary.
Jasmine Curtis-Smith
Her pick? A breezy linen shirt
A crisp linen shirt and denim shorts—simple, classic, and surprisingly refined. Jasmine Curtis-Smith swears by UNIQLO’s Premium Linen Shirt, which she effortlessly paired with Denim Bermuda Shorts. “It’s a casual yet put-together outfit that I can bring from my tapings to brunch out with friends,” she shares. The breathable 100% European flax material makes it a summer must-have, promising all-day comfort without compromising on style.
Solenn Heussaff
Her pick? A sleeveless bra top
For the woman who does it all, functionality and ease take center stage. Solenn Heussaff has found her new everyday staple in the AIRism Sleeveless Bra Top. Designed with soft, seamless fabric and built-in support, it’s a piece that moves as effortlessly as she does. “These Bra Tops are definitely my new daily uniform,” she says. “I think I have every kind in several colors!” Versatile enough to be worn alone or layered under lightweight outerwear, this top is a summer essential in its own right.
Kianna Dy
Her pick? A versatile skort
An athlete’s wardrobe is all about striking a balance between comfort and movement, and for volleyball star Kianna Dy, the Ultra-Stretch Active Skort does just that. “It’s suited for casual looks, but with its ultra-stretch material and built-in shorts, I can easily take it on the court as well,” she shares. Designed for both performance and leisure, it’s the kind of piece that seamlessly transitions from one activity to the next—whether that’s training, errands, or a quick coffee run.
Donny Pangilinan
His pick? Wide tapered jeans
Few things exude effortless cool like a great pair of jeans, and Donny Pangilinan knows it. For him, UNIQLO’s Wide Tapered Jeans strike the perfect balance between structure and comfort. “For my everyday looks, I usually try to go for pieces that look polished, but with a casual flair that I can take from work to play,” he says. The relaxed silhouette, combined with lightweight denim, makes it an ideal pick for the warm season.
Niana Guerrero
Her pick? A graphic t-shirt
Basics don’t have to be boring—just ask Niana Guerrero. Known for her playful and vibrant energy, the social media sensation leans on UNIQLO’s UT collection for a pop of personality. “Today I’m wearing the Mickey Faces UT that I paired with this vest and the online favorite Jersey Barrel Leg Pants,” she says. With over 1,000 fresh designs every season, UT serves as a canvas for self-expression, whether through bold graphics or artistic prints.
Beyond style, UNIQLO’s 2025 Spring/Summer LifeWear Collection carries a deeper purpose. Through its sustainability initiative, The Heart of LifeWear, the brand has pledged to donate 1 million HEATTECH and AIRism items to refugees and communities in need worldwide. In the Philippines, efforts have already begun with the distribution of 600 HEATTECH items to single parents in Baguio, with more to follow in the coming months.
Style, function, and a commitment to positive change—this season’s wardrobe essentials prove that basics can be anything but basic. Whether it’s the airy ease of linen, the performance-driven comfort of activewear, or the effortless polish of well-fitted denim, these celebrities remind us that great style starts with the right foundation. After all, the key to a standout look often lies in the simplest of pieces.
