Now that the days are warmer, the unbearably humid rainy season and the blistering heat aren’t far behind. This calls for the AIRism T-shirt, an item that UNIQLO is rightly proud of and one that is now a regular part of the spring and summer season. This massive hit product is still gaining traction with men and women, young and old, as high-tech innerwear that delivers cool comfort even during the hotter, more humid, and ultimately more uncomfortable times of the year. But if you’ve never tried an AIRism tee, this is the year to try one because a new AIRism Cotton T-shirt is available. Even if you generally avoid innerwear tops, this AIRism Cotton tee truly warrants a look. It combines the best of high-tech innerwear and a regular solid-color tee in a single item. Once you discover its incredible advantages along with these styling ideas you’ll be hard pressed to put it down.

High-tech Innerwear that instantly cools with lasting comfort this summer

This innerwear is made of micro-polyester fibers that were created in partnership with Toray, the world-famous manufacturer of advanced materials. The instant you pull on an AIRism item it confers a cool feel to the touch. The fabric releases interior heat and moisture to greatly reduce the dampness and stickiness that are caused by perspiration. There’s no discomfort stemming from the fabric sticking to your skin either. Plus, the fabric suppresses annoying body odor. These various qualities optimize the conditions under clothing so that you remain comfortable even in the summer heat and humidity.

AIRism is also extremely useful during fall and winter when layering and heated interiors can lead to heat and moisture buildup. Unlike HEATTECH, which is cold-weather innerwear, albeit one that’s nationally popular, AIRism is high-tech innerwear that’s ideal for the entire year

The New AIRism Cotton Fabric is comfort that can be worn as is

The new AIRism Cotton fabric, which joined the lineup this season, is a hybrid fabric. It weaves a cotton exterior with an AIRism interior. Consequently, an AIRism Cotton tee has the appearance of a regular tee yet confers silky, cool comfort even during the sweat-inducing months because it has many of the comfort-adding features described above.

The regular AIRism tee has the look of high-tech innerwear, due to its glossy finish, neck and sleeve designs, stitching, form-fitting silhouette, and other elements. In contrast, the AIRism Cotton tee has the ribbing and stitching of a regular tee, and it has a cotton exterior. Only the interior is AIRism. Plus, its fit is moderately loose, so the AIRism Cotton tee has the appearance of a regular, basic tee.

The Tee has the appearance of a quality, solid-color tee, so it's ideal for all styles!

The AIRism Cotton tee’s exterior is quality cotton that has a smooth, fine texture and a classily lustrous appearance. As a result, it prevents an overtly sporty look despite the high-tech features, allowing coordination that’s no different to styling a basic, solid-color tee and enabling the tee to slot into a wide range of looks. The tee is a men’s item, but one that’s great for women as well.

The Tee's simple design is perfect for everyday attire

The crew neck model is the mainstay of the AIRism Cotton tee lineup. It’s a versatile item that easily slots into a wide range of looks. The model is easy to coordinate, regardless of fashion trends or preferences, because it has a classic, straightforward silhouette. Simply put, this tee is perfect for wearing on an everyday basis.
