Layering with Extra Fine Merino wool
We love our lightweight, breathable 100% Extra Fine Merino knit layers for easy winter styling - and so do you! Here's what you thought of our most popular Extra Fine Merino pieces as they landed in your winter wardrobes, ready to be slipped beneath a coat or over a T-shirt...
The soft touch of Merino
100% Extra Fine Merino Turtleneck Jumper
"Uniqlo puts the material to good use in its turtleneck, you can throw under a winter-weight blazer or wear on its own with slim jeans and Chelsea boots when you want to add a little pizzazz to a date night fit."
Cosy is the name of the game when the temperatures outside drop into negatives - one way to combat the cold is to keep the softest materials closest to your skin. Merino wool is known for its soft feel, fine finish, and insulating properties.
Multiply the visible layers
100% Extra Fine Merino Turtleneck Jumper
"I love this turtleneck fine knit jumper. It’s just the right weight and knit. Fine enough to tuck in but substantial enough to be worn alone. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of wear from it this Autumn."
It's not just the layering benefits that make these pieces a must-have for the colder months. The fact that each thread of our Extra Fine Merino knitwear is only 19.5 microns across (approximately 4x finer than a single strand of human hair!) means that these garments are able to trap heat effectively while retaining a lustrous, soft feel, keeping you warm even on the coldest of days. So not only will you look great, but you'll also feel toasty and comfortable all winter long.
From lightest to darkest
100% Extra Fine Merino V Neck Cardigan
"Good quality. The combination with the merino V-neck jumper is sublime. After washing the wool and letting it dry, it does not shrink."
The art of layering is also the art of playing with individual pieces to craft a cohesive, complementary outfit. By layering clothes from lightest to darkest and using neutral tones, you can build a go-to winter ensemble that looks as good as it feels. But once you start to feel more confident in your layering choices, don't hesitate to do whatever you like!
Play with different styles
100% Extra Fine Merino Crew Neck Cardigan
"Nice understated well fitting short cardigan. Looks great worn as a jumper…will be back for more (next payday!)"
Each piece you choose to layer with can bring a unique touch of character to your finished outfit. Just make sure the finished product feels well-connected and thoughtfully matched.
Create contrasts
100% Extra Fine Merino V Neck Jumper
"Bought for husband for christmas - beautiful quality and finish, accurate sizing - uniqlo never disappoints!"
Mastering layering means mastering the art of combining colours, materials, and volumes.
Create your own rules
100% Extra Fine Merino V Neck Cardigan
"In the transitional period as a light additional jacket, to save energy in winter as a warming second layer of wool! Always suitable!"
The advantage of layering is that it is a fashion that adapts. No matter your age, style or body type, you can adopt, adapt, and make it yours. And even more so with this elegant V-neck cardigan, which looks great all year round.
