Life and Summer

An airy linen shirt feels just right on the first refreshing days of summer. Using the fines European linen from France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, our shirts are unbelievably soft to the touch and have a refined luster that will catch the summer sun. Try out a slightly larger size, tucked in. Available for women in a pullover with a skipper collar. Every wardrobe needs a shirt that promises the best of summer, making you look forward to the summers yet to come.

After linen, shorts are the essential summer garment. On hot days, it’s nice to feel the air on your skin. 1. Wear chino shorts with a brass-button blazer for a preppy ensemble. Our Comfort Blazer is cool even in summer. 2. This pique polo, braided leather belt and green sweatshirt make for a classic sporty style. 3. Striped linen shirt with ring-belted, pleated shorts. White shorts look great against sunkissed skin.

Don’t forget clothes made from SUPIMA® cotton, the epitome of softness. Cotton is ranked by the length of its fibers, the longer the better, and SUPIMA® uses the highest-quality extra-long staple cotton fibers grown in the United States. Available in a variety of styles and colors, our T-shirts and summer weight knits are so luxuriously soft it’s hard to let them go. The more basic, the better.

This high-quality cotton feels amazing against bare skin. These classic boxer briefs and chic socks make their debut in standard colors. To truly understand high quality, it’s crucial to start with the basics.

In surprise showers, a light waterproof coat gives you much more freedom than an umbrella. On the left is our women’s Light BLOCKTECH Coat, new this season. This pocketable coat has all the water repellency and breathability that BLOCKTECH is known for, but with much thinner fabric. Stash it in your bag, just in case. The minimalist BLOCKTECH parka on the right is great for commuting in a suit or collared shirt. Its stretchable fabric also makes it fit for active use.

Consider the SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle). A rugged form of transportation that can take you anywhere, easily maneuvering both the city and the wilderness. So, what’s the clothing equivalent? One answer would be Sport Utility Wear (SUW). The sort of clothing that covers every task, from daily errands to light activity. Highly functional and easy to wear, while authentically designed and flattering on anyone. Clothing like this is bound to make every day a little easier.

What’s lighter on the feet than sandals? 1. Sport sandals from UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON in navy blue with vivid yellow accenting. Perfect with a pair of colorblock socks. 2. These chic black strap sandals look elegant with fine gauge ankle socks. 3. This pair of sandals from Uniqlo U easily combines a toe thong and an ankle strap, in muted tones. Just right for denim. 4. Espadrilles debut this season. This cheery yellow is like a sunflower.

Dress trad and stay fresh on the hottest days! 1,2. Wear a seersucker jacket over a linen shirt and knitted tie for a cool, classic look. 3. Short sleeve pullover shirts are one of this summer's trends. The boxy silhouette, cut on the wider side, is made for shorts. 4. Denim shirt dresses, an enduring American classic. This lightweight denim is a sign of summertime.

There’s nothing better than an early morning jog, when the air is cool and the sky is full of light, but pretty soon, the sun turns harsh. With the morning air so fresh, it feels too early to put on sunblock. For times like these, it’s good to pack a thin layer you can wear to block the sun. Try taking along one of these hoodies made with AIRism or DRY-EX, breathable and quick-drying yet built to cut out UV radiation. They’re so light you’ll barely notice that they’re tied around your waist, like the man pictured here.

At the height of summer, we run off to the ocean and the pool. This classic women’s swimwear is from Uniqlo U. The one-piece and the gathered bikini both come in striking colors. The nicely colored men’s swim shorts can be worn around town as well.
