Sick and tired of drudging through half a foot of snow to replenish your supply of toilet paper from the corner store down the street? Fed up with throwing on the same old parka each and every time you have to run downstairs to pick up a package? Ready for spring already? We feel you. And so does Christophe Lemaire, the French designer behind his own eponymous label and Uniqlo’s always on-point U line. Last week, the duo dropped their latest collection and it’s chock full of the sort of thoughtful, pared-down pieces that made the line such a hit from the get-go.

In other words, it’s bursting with a treasure trove of perennial spring essentials — including more than a few you can wear right now! — done up in the soft, muted colors that remain a Lemaire signature. And if you’re pining for warmer weather, there’s nothing quite like a much-needed wardrobe refresh to get you in the proper mindset for spring. (Even if, frankly, temperatures anywhere near pleasant seem a long way down the line.)

So head on over to the Uniqlo site to peep the entire drop before it’s too late, because rest assured the whole lot of it will sell out and sell out quick. (Or don’t. We rounded-up everything worth buying right here, and all you have to do is keep scrolling.)

The retailer’s lighter-than-air tees, now cut to Monsieur Lemaire’s roomy specifications. 

The long-sleeve tee you should layer under everything right now, and then wear on its own come spring. 

And its soft, sophisticated mock neck (yes, mock neck!) counterpart. 

Because sometimes, good design is as simple as giving the people the best possible version of what they already want. 

Absolutely huge “recent retiree leisurely taking in a heated game of bocce” energy.  

Cut to fit big and forgiving, no matter how many nights you’ve spent passed out on the couch with Cheetos dust all over your face. 

I’m on a boat, motherfucker!

Damn, Christophe! Back at it again with the perfectly muted pastel tones. 

The hard pants revolution is here. 

Everyone’s favorite sturdy cotton carryall never looked so damn refined. 

Cut to fit precisely how a pair of pants should right now.  

The only cardigan you’ll need this spring. (But why stop there?!)

A shirt/jacket hybrid so French it had me at bonjour. 

When you find yourself wistfully looking forward to rainy weather because it means it’s not snowing, it’s time to buy a coat like this one.
