ESSENTIALS
styleSTYLISHLY SIMPLE
Build a wardrobe that lasts, fill it with versatile, quality pieces that are chic and timeless. The key is finding pieces that you can easily pair together in neutral colours and classic silhouettes.
We’ve put together a list of what we believe to be essentials for a wardrobe that keeps giving.
|
BLUE WASH DENIM JEANS
Find a pair that fit and flatter in all the right places. Denim goes with everything but our fave way to wear denim is with a fresh white tee.
WHITE BUTTON DOWN
Dress it up, wear it to work or dress it down with denim. Every wardrobe needs a good quality white button down. Opt for a natural fabric like cotton or linen for comfort.
BLACK DRESS
A simple black dress doesn’t date, it’s something you can keep forever and reinvent with accessories.
STRIPES
Black, grey or navy stripes.. it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s stripes.
WHITE TEE
Fitted or oversized, cuffed or cropped… a white tee is the ultimate wardrobe essential because not only does it look great but it goes with everything.
BLACK WASH JEANS
Black jeans can be worn with anything. Find a pair that fit you perfectly and you’ll never need another pair.
SWEATER
Comfort is key, but you can have style too. Opt for neutral colours such as grey, black, cream or tan. For extra warmth try wool, cashmere and cotton.
LEATHER JACKET
A leather jacket will last forever and only gets better with age. Find a genuine leather that fits you well and you’ll never want to take it off.
DENIM SKIRT
Jeans can be a little hot in summer so opt for a denim skirt instead. Pair with sneakers, boots or flats for a casual, day look or with heels to glam it up for night.
GREY TEE
A grey tee can be paired with anything, we love matching with leather and denim.
LONG COAT
A long coat is essential for those winter months. Choose neutral colours and classic silhouettes to last more than one winter. Wool coats will keep you the warmest.
DENIM JACKET
We all need a denim jacket for the days when you want to keep is casual. It’s easy to find a great vintage denim jacket from your local thrift store.
DENIM SHORTS
Keep it casual with slides or sneakers or dress it up with strappy heels.
LEATHER MINI
A black leather skirt makes any outfit instantly cool. Pair with sneakers, boots, slides or heels.

WHITE IS RIGHT
styleEvery gal needs a simple white tee in her wardrobe. Let us inspire you with our fave ways to wear the classic white tee.
Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that’s a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That’s not simple.

Uncle May clothing label designer Teegan Haidle and film director, Dana Marie Newell have teamed up to produce a social media campaign that breaks new ground in the medium by combining fashion, story and a sense of ferocity.
With intellect and passion propelling them, Haidle and Newell have produced a 3 min short film to be released in chapters via Instagram and Facebook beginning 1st of Feb 2017.
“We chose to make the narrative and the story the driving force behind this fashion film” Newell says. “It was written specifically with visual hooks and storyline cliffhangers at every release interval to keep our audience engaged and wanting more each day.”
The clothing itself will not be highlighted. Instead the foundational concept of the film is to share a stylistic idea and a conceptual movement that is the essence of who Uncle May are; a brand that promotes quality, minimalism and confidence.
This campaign concept isn’t just a fashion video, but instead is forum for two creative women to come together to tell a story that inspires women to make bold choices with who they are through a fun and quirky story.
Follow Uncle May on Facebook and Instagram to see the story of Lyla, Duke and their cat, Willow.
