Me ^ wearing the red cashmere toque from Uncle
Uncle Studios, a contemporary fashion brand founded by Allegra Shaw and Shirin Soltani in 2017 in Toronto, seeks to craft garments that not only elevate one's appearance, but also one's disposition. The brand's aesthetic is rooted in the concept of future nostalgia, where clean fabrics and minimalistic design are prioritized. The brand's philosophy of "less is more" is reflected in the timeless and versatile nature of their collections, which are designed to seamlessly integrate with one's existing wardrobe. Additionally, the brand places a strong emphasis on fostering a sense of community, both online and in-person, with a particular focus on functional yet stylish designs that cater to the multifaceted lives of the contemporary individual.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock…you know and love the fashion icon who is Allegra Shaw (in case you don’t know, you’re welcome). I’ve been a huge fan of hers for years and she’s been such an inspiration. The pieces I own from Uncle are already staples in my wardrobe and I reach for them constantly.
These are my top 5 items from Uncle
(bonus: all of these items are currently on sale)

The Relaxed Turtleneck
The Relaxed Turtleneck is an oversized, relaxed-fit sweater that falls to the hips, perfect for tucking in or leaving untucked. It features a tall standing neck, made of a cozy cashmere wool blend, ideal for cooler days. This piece is currently my favorite item from their fall/winter collection and I've been pairing it with Totême leggings and mules for a stylish and comfortable look.
