H&M’s high profile pairing with Olivier Rousteing and his Balmain Army may have grabbed the headlines, but for those who eschew ostentation, there’s only one collaboration that really matters this season: Uniqlo and Christophe Lemaire.

Following excursions in minimalism with the likes of Jil Sander and Helmut Lang, your one-stop shop for affordable basics is teaming up with the ascendant menswear designer for a range of high-end staples with high street price tags.

A former Hermès designer, Lemaire is now helming his own eponymous label and has crafted a capsule of slick basics, to help inject your wardrobe with a dose of Tommy Ton-baiting nowness without bruising your wallet. Here’s our pick of the pieces worth camping out for.

Wool And Cashmere Coat (£149.90)

Chills become more welcome if it means the opportunity to break out your statement outerwear, and this shawl-collared coat will having you praying for frost. Oversized overcoats are trending hard for AW15 and the Uniqlo take differs little from Lemaire’s mainline version, other than ditching the pockets – which, alongside the concealed placket, keeps the silhouette minimal – and the hit to your bank balance.

Team with a monochrome roll neck to come over all continental intellectual, or pair with a hoody, stacked denim and hi-tops for a Yeezy-approved take on high-low dressing.

Cashmere Roll Neck Long-Sleeved Sweater (£129.90)

This roll neck might seem pricey compared to the rest of the collection, but for cashmere, it’s a steal. Unlike the form-fitting versions that normally line Uniqlo’s shelves, Lemaire’s opted for a roomier cut that hangs slightly looser, making it ideal for layering beneath a double-breasted jacket when you want to switch up your usual office attire.

Or just couple it with the cashmere coat above for the luxury way to combat the chill.
