Uniqlo is a Japanese clothing company that sells very basic items to affordable prices.
Regarding the fashion there isn't much to talk about. The design is often boring (not always) and really simple. So it's not there you should shop if you want to be fashion forward.
However, if you are looking for some cheap casual and basic items in a good quality, Uniqlo is the place to go.
I also like that Uniqlo thinks outside the box by integrating technology into some of the clothes. The fashion company does as well work with some famous and not so known designers in different kind of projects. Sometimes you can find a few interesting pieces.
I usually buy items like jeans, tops, underwear, cardigans and shirts when I go to Uniqlo. But I must say that the jeans don't fit me that well and the one-size bras aren't very good.
Last month I bought this three items:
Stripes, stripes and stripes. The first two pieces are basic and classic. The long t-shirt with a smiley on is room wear (it's designed by the Japanese model Hinano Yoshikawa and only available in Japan.)

I agree with your point about how they integrate technology into their clothing with new ideas and almost revolutionary design in materials for the different climates and weather. However, I feel that your desciption 'boring' is a little harsh - yes most of the clothes are primariy casual, designing affordable casual clothing was how the company started and what built up the brand, but today the brand has expanded into other areas and their designs and prints are always quirky and original, particularly with their UT t-shirts.

ReplyDeleteIt's true that Uniqlo does have some quirky and interesting items (like the t-shirts you mentioned)...
