Compact & Wide

From jeans to cargo trousers, chinos, shorts and sweats. This season brings a substantial lineup of wide bottoms in both the men’s and women’s collections that work perfectly with a range of mini tees and cropped shirts, highlighting the width of the leg. All styles are genderless, so a women’s jumper will fit right in with the men’s collection, too.

Compact & Wide

Wide bottoms remain on trend. Whether you go with barrel leg or baggy, there are so many kinds, the latest of which are the women’s cotton culottes. This style works well with the knit jacket in red, one of this season’s feature colours. Choosing the right top helps to define the silhouette. Men’s baggy jeans can be worn with a women’s knit, available in softer tones not found in the men’s collection. Size up for just the right cropped fit.

Volume & Tight

Oversized tops and tighter bottoms create just the right contrast. Try pairing a casual jean jacket with narrow trousers, or a clean shirt dress with sporty leggings, mixing and matching tastes to freshen up slim-fitting styles.

Volume & Tight

In this golden age of wider bottoms, slim trousers take on new charm when paired with a loose top. Women can opt for men’s shirts. Then there’s the denim jacket, which is designed to be oversized. The key is to include one item with a cleaner fit, perhaps the shirt or trousers. Casual items can provide contrast through different materials as well. Even basic colours like blue and grey have flair when used in the right combinations.

Sporty Pastel

The term sportswear evokes vivid colours, but pastels make this season’s functional styles even more accessible. The women’s T-shirt has a two-way fit with different necklines on the front and back. The men’s moisture-wicking, quick-drying DRY-EX Polo and T-shirt are a great way to introduce an accent colour.

Sporty Pastel

Influenced by trendy yoga and running clothes that make great everyday items, activewear has shifted from vivid colours to tamer pastel tones. These pastels work well as accent colours in a black or grey monotone outfit, or can add a splash of colour to an already lighter beige ensemble. They’re also a nice match for the performance fabrics of the nylon parka and biker shorts. The more functional the rest of the outfit, the more low tech the footwear should be.

Layers of Colours

There are basically two approaches to using colour. One opts for tones from the same colour family, like red and pink, beige and yellow, blue and navy. The other combines complementary colours like blue and yellow, or green and pink. Mix up the colours in your tops and bottoms or in different layers.

Layers of Colours

The easiest part of wearing colours is using them as accents. Pair a yellow linen shirt with chino shorts of the same colour family. Add in a complementary green jumper to liven up the tonal styling. This women’s outfit uses accent colours in layers. Wear multiple T-shirts in different colours and roll up the sleeves to show the pink shirt underneath. Layering shirts in the same colour family? Wear the lighter tone below for a grounding effect.

Luca Becker

Luca studies painting at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, the city’s premier art school. In her words, European preppy has an “elegant, beautiful image.” Much like a French work jacket, the striped linen blend chore coat pairs perfectly with this season’s baggy jeans in a rinse wash. Visiting an iconic art supply store near her school, Luca opted for a trad look, with a unisex blazer and white denim. This brilliant green tucked-in shirt is from the men’s collection. Her delicate gold necklace gives the outfit an elegant touch.

Making precise outfits from authentic workwear is a classic European move. Axel rocks a trucker jacket with new selvedge jeans from UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON. Hoping to go into brand PR, he studies communications at EFAP, which calls itself “the school for new careers in communications.” Outside the metro, he’s wearing a white utility jacket with wide tapered trousers from UNIQLO : C. To add an accent, he uses a pastel green that matches the brown.

What comes to mind when she thinks of preppy style? “That’s UNIQLO!” This compact blouson from Uniqlo U in a chic faded purple and wide barrel leg trousers create a fresh silhouette perfect for this season. Wearing a pastel green shirt with a tonal outfit, brown jacket and beige skort, she visited the bookshop run by legendary gallerist Yvon Lambert.

Gabriella knows how to style the cropped Oxford shirt, an ongoing trend that’s becoming a new basic. Seeking a career in publishing, she’s in her third year of studying literature at the Sorbonne. “UNIQLO has great quality and a superb fit,” she says. For trousers, she wears the new baggy jeans from UNIQLO and JW ANDERSON. Draping a jumper over the shoulders adds a bit of class to this contemporary look.

It’s worn here with a pair of white barrel trousers from UNIQLO : C, this season’s baggiest option. These proportions and the clean presentation are hallmarks of today’s Parisian preppy style.

What is European preppy style?

Preppy fashion started in America. Europeans imported this style and adapted it to suit our sensibilities. This meant doing what we do best: refining and elevating the core elements.

Preppy style’s strength is blending casualness and functionality. It came about in the 1950s as an answer to the active lifestyles of students at Ivy League schools in the north-eastern US, allowing them to move seamlessly from class to other activities. Loafers you can step into, without bending over. Loose-fitting chinos. College sweatshirts, Oxford shirts a little on the wrinkled side. And blazers? Only on special occasions. Before preppy became a style, it was simply a matter of convenience. It’s all about comfort and a broken-in feel, no decoration or pretension. And let’s not forget, a pervasive spirit of sportswear.

In the 1980s, the style evolved in the hands of Europeans. While retaining the main characteristics and relaxed bourgeois feel, it became more refined and evolved. One might say preppy made a shift toward elegance. Chinos, with their origins in the military, were replaced by white jeans, more prone to soiling but with a sexier style. The dishevelled untucked Oxford was tucked in and unbuttoned at the chest. Polo shirts became more fitted. Jumpers were draped over the shoulders to emphasise the physique. Scarves and bandanas tied around the neck. The loafers stayed, but with a higher polish, complemented by bright socks.

The use of colours, overall, took on a European feel. The colour palette grew, keeping earth tones like ecru, brown, beige and ochre as a base while adding primary colours and sunny hues. Red, blue, green, yellow, turquoise... Colour combinations, too, became much more important. Beige with red or yellow, navy and apple green, red and pink, brown and sky blue. Black, however, is strictly off-limits. That’s one rule that remains unchanged, regardless of the era or the continent.

Pastel buildings are a perfect match for this season’s SUW. Up close, you can detect several careful layers of paint. If you compare photos from a few years back, some buildings have changed colour entirely. This all started with the colourist trend led by local artist Butch Kardum in the 1960s, when many of the city’s iconic Victorian homes were painted vibrant tones, changing the face of SF to this day.

This keeps things very interesting for runners. Thanks to the grid of streets, you’ll suddenly pass by a majestic view of the ocean, offering a glimpse of Alcatraz Island bathed in light.

Downtown, a darling cable car rattles up the street. The colours of the city may change, but some things about San Francisco never do. The hilly streets are truly unforgettable. If you have the chance to go for a run here, head for the picturesque lookout of Twin Peaks. The extreme slopes are sure to carve a space into your memory.

A Range of Different Whites

From sheer bright whites to warmer off-white tones, the nuances are endless. Seemingly neutral, white is perhaps the deepest colour of them all. UNIQLO is known for its colour options, and it’s rare for white not to be offered. Yet even the same white will come across differently in different fabrics, like cotton or linen. These tones have many names, from the hakuji glaze used for white ceramics to the ecru of unbleached cotton and the milky tone of cream, demonstrating how the nuances of white have left an imprint on language.

The layered looks shown here combine the varied whites of different natural fabrics such as linen. Breezy and relaxed, these items somehow also make you sit up straighter. This year, refined whites are sure to add even more depth to your wardrobe.

Easy Days in Suits

In an increasingly casual workplace, sometimes you want to get a little dressy. This AirSense jacket and trousers from the men’s collection are only half* the weight of a normal wool suit, plus they’re stretchy for comfort and ease. Thanks to quick-drying technology, you’ll want to wear them even on hotter days. The women’s double breasted jacket has a relaxed silhouette. Wear with wide legged trousers for smart office style.

*Jacket 380 g (size L), trousers 300 g (waist 82 cm, length 85 cm). Weights approximate.

Tip 2

No Iron, No Problem

Looking to pare down your to-do list? Start off by saying goodbye to ironing. Available in 100% cotton or jersey, these fabrics feature seams with a tape-like resin sewn in, helping to maintain their shape. The white cotton shirt has a crisp, clean feel that lasts and lasts. The navy jersey shirt has a classic jersey stretch, along with a genteel sheen that makes it unmatched in business settings. Launder in a net bag and set the spin cycle to short. While it’s still wet, gently stretch out the cloth along the seams and hang to dry. Use a sturdy hanger to maintain a desirable shape.

Tip 3

Work Needs a Style Day

With a wide silhouette and a longer cut, these trendy half trousers have been updated for the office. To give the pleats extra sharpness, tuck in the top and finish off with a black leather belt. Pairing a traditional navy blue cable knit with the white makes for a style that will naturally blend into the workplace.

Smart Style, Easy Care

Made from light and smooth fabric, the Rayon skipper blouse has a boxy waist-length silhouette that works tucked in or out. Worn with a pair of straight wide leg trousers, it has a modern tailored look. The trousers have 2-way stretch for an easy stride. Both the blouse and trousers are machine washable in a laundry net, making care a breeze.

Timeless Functionality

This lightweight polyester trench coat has a relaxed silhouette. Retaining traditional details like the adjustable cuffs, waist belt, and checked lining while eliminating extras like the epaulettes and collar tabs gives this coat a modern update. The trousers have a similar hybrid sensibility, featuring sharp centre seams along with an elastic easy waist.

Tip 6

Light Neutral Tones

In the office, chic outfits based on white or beige stand out. Featuring ankle trousers and the pinstripe Rayon blouse, this tonal outfit (1) is tied together by a brown belt. A sleeveless “AIRism” dress can be worn casually on its own (2), or dressed up with a beige jacket (3) in a wide array of styles. Swap the blouse in the first outfit with a boxy knit tee (4) for a relaxed office style. The crisp and cool viscose fabric feels pleasant even in summertime.

Updating the Classics

A wide spread collar with a tie, regimental being the classic choice. Keep the watchband, belt and shoes all the same material and colour. Once you have these basics down pat, you can play with them a little. For example, you might free up your feet with these beige smart ankle trousers featuring comfy 2-way stretch. Wear socks from the same colour family for a chic accent.

This new jacket uses Milano ribbed fabric that’s smooth to the touch. Details like a rounded front hem and patch pockets give it a relaxed feel, almost like a cardigan. The grey chinos have a slim silhouette, straight from the waist to the ankles. The fabric has a slight stretch, so they’re slim yet comfortable.

Washable Knit Polo

Wearing a polo at the office? A smooth knit is the smart choice. Be sure to pick a tailored fit and button it all the way up. It’s also key to choose a chic modern tone, like olive worn with grey trousers. When washing, turn shirt inside-out and wash in a net bag. Smooth out and hang to dry to maintain the proper shape.

Tip 10

Fresh Knits, Smart Fits

T-shirts may be an office no-no, but a short sleeve knit is a nice alternative. With a minimalist boxy silhouette, this Milano ribbed knit shirt is thin and comfortable, just right for summer. To keep the outfit trim and tidy, wear a white tee underneath and tuck both shirts into your slacks. Machine washable for easy care.

Adam Scott won the Masters.
Amidst a busy worldwide travel schedule,
he sat down with us for an interview in Tokyo.

UNIQLO TOKYO in Ginza. Standing before this massive LED display, Adam captured the attention of the city. His willingness to let people take pictures with their phones helps to explain his massive popularity.

Q1. How did you discover golf?

I played golf with my family from a young age. People start young in Australia. I've been swinging a club since I was two. Then when I was five or so, I remember seeing a famous pro golfer on TV and thinking, "I want to do that!"

Q2. What's the best way to maintain your motivation?

I think, until you achieve all your goals and dreams, there is always this motivation to keep going. Everybody dreams big as a kid. But dreams don't come true overnight. I've been able to achieve a great deal, but many of my dreams are still out of reach. As soon as you finish one thing, you set your sights on another. That's continued to this day. Golf stands out from other sports because there are so few opportunities to win. It's important to learn from the failures, finding something positive to help you grow.

Q3. What's the best part about being a pro golfer?

There are so many things. Because I'm really just living my dream. Of course, winning tournaments is very fulfilling, but along the way, I've had the opportunity to travel the world playing golf in all these gorgeous places.

Q4. Golf is often called a gentleman's sport. What makes someone a gentleman?

I have some friends that I look up to who I think are good role models for being a gentleman, and most of them play golf. In this sport, we're our own referees. If we make a mistake, we have to give ourselves a penalty. Golf is about honesty and integrity. If you apply the rules to life, you'll make yourself a positive example. That's why I encourage children to play golf. It's great for building character.

Adam demonstrates his swing at a driving range in Toranomon, a district in central Tokyo where high-rises stand among historic architecture. His impeccable swing has been called the most elegant in the world.

Q5. You were born in Australia and now live in Switzerland. What do you like about these two cultures?

I think the Australian lifestyle is quite casual. Maybe it's because I was born there, but I'm a pretty easy-going type. So that’s quite appealing to me. Switzerland is almost the opposite. And it's such a beautiful country. When I went pro, I was playing mostly European tours. That's when I decided I wanted a house in Switzerland. It's very different from Australia, but I like it a lot.

Q6. What destinations have stood out to you the most?

The Taj Mahal in India. Quite an amazing experience, like an adventure, travelling down there. And the Great Wall of China was also incredible.

Q7. What led you to start the Adam Scott Foundation, which provides education opportunities for children and young people?

When I participated in my first PGA Tour, I learned that most of the proceeds for the tournaments go to projects that give back to local communities. This was around the time that they were celebrating total donations surpassing 1 billion dollars. I was twenty-five years old, and deeply moved by the idea that if you stick with things, you can make a huge impact. The foundation focuses on giving educational opportunities to kids. I'm trying to help kids reach their dreams. Lending a helping hand.

Q8. As a Global Brand Ambassador for the past twelve years, what are your thoughts on UNIQLO?

I feel UNIQLO has a strong philosophy of MADE FOR ALL, for everyone. I think a company or brand has to be very strong in its foundations and principles to be successful without using the logo everywhere. I very much like that UNIQLO feels like it's truly made for everyone. These clothes are so accessible. Golf, though, has these strong associations as an elitist sport. I'd like to bring the MADE FOR ALL philosophy to golf, to make it something anyone can play.

Q9. Is there something from UNIQLO you couldn't live without?

Picking one thing is impossible, so I’ll give three. First, the AIRism undershirt. It’s so comfortable and looks great. You can even wear it as a top layer. I wear mine every day. Then there’s the Extra Fine Merino Jumper. It’s lightweight, soft, and classic. Perfect companion to travel everywhere. Then I’d say the AirSense trousers. They fit great and work with everything. Truly an essential item for everyone every day.

Q3. What's the best part about being a pro golfer?

Truly an essential item for everyone every day.

Q10. We've heard you're a big fan of Uniqlo U.
What attracts you to this collection?

I like the silhouette because it's a bit different than what I play golf in. When I'm away from the course, I want to feel like a different guy!

Q11. What makes you feel refreshed?

Going to the ocean. I surf and swim. It's good for the mind and heart.

Q12. Do you golf with your family?

Both my parents play. And my eight-year-old son loves the sport. He plays with me too. He doesn't listen to me. So, I try not to teach. Instead, I try and get him to watch other good players.

Q13. What's the best way to get better at golf?

Step one is to enjoy yourself. To do that, first you need to lower your expectations. Then you can just have fun.

Founded in 1916, Japanese restaurant Hachimaki Okada has been a favourite of literary greats. Third-generation chef Kozo Okada honours the flavours of the original menu. One of Adam's favourite dishes was their signature awafu dengaku.

Pleated Wide Trousers 39.9 (Uniqlo U)

Q14. What are your weaknesses?

We could spend lots of time talking about this! I'm not so good at sorting out priorities. I'd like to work on that. I can also be rather fixated on golf, even when I'm with my family. I'm afraid this doesn't make them very happy.

Q15. What three things would you bring to a desert island?

A golf club, for sure. It's a bit sad that my golf club is probably my most valuable possession. I suppose I'd also take a ball and gloves. If I could take people with me, I'd of course bring my family. I'm not very attached to things.

Q16. What's your advice for those trying to excel in their field?

Believe in yourself. People kept on telling me that I was very talented, but there were times I couldn't believe it. But once I started to believe it too, I got results. Time keeps moving on, which means less time to achieve things. That's motivated me to try my best. Sometimes I look in the mirror and tell myself: "You can do it." It's still hard. But if you set your heart on it, you'll find a way.

Adam Scott Professional Golfer

Born in 1980 in Adelaide, Australia. Attracted to golf from a young age, Adam has stood out since his days as a junior player. Went pro in 2000. In 2001, he won his first professional title at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, and in 2002 placed 9th in his first Masters Tournament. In April 2013, he became the first Australian to win a Masters Tournament. Reached number one in the World Golf Ranking in 2014. A formidable presence at major competitions for many years, Adam has 14 PGA Tour wins and 11 European Tour wins, as of November 2025. In his capacity as a UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassador for UNIQLO, he helped develop the AirSense trousers, based on the philosophy that “look and fit are both essential to good play.”

Everyday Couture

Interview with Cecilie Bahnsen

Romantic accents for everyday wardrobes.
Based in Copenhagen, the brand Cecilie Bahnsen offers a unique approach to style.
Cecilie shares how her design ethos has commonalities with UNIQLO.

Natural light streams into the studio in Østerbro on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Cecilie wears a sequined top that she designed herself, layered over a DRY Colour Crew Neck T-Shirt from the UNIQLO men’s collection.

Captivating items for everyday wear

Cecilie Bahnsen’s studio is lined with voluminous dresses and baby pink blouses decorated with delicate florals. Her brand’s emphasis on bringing a gentle romanticism to daily items has won fans all over the world.

“Just like with LifeWear, we put a lot of value into everyday clothes. It’s not just about dressing up, it’s about clothes that work for you, and growing into them. That’s the sort of fashion I aspire to.”

This is the spirit behind “Everyday Couture, ” a phrase that speaks to the brand’s values over the past decade.

Cecilie spends a great deal of time at this work station, going over fabrics in her studio. Managing a full team of over thirty people, she spends her days hopping from Copenhagen to London or Paris.

Making clothing to be cherished

“To me, UNIQLO has a unique understanding of ease and quality, creating pieces for everyday that inspire me and connects to our brand values, ” says Cecilie. Even with so much resonance between the brands, one would think that Cecilie Bahnsen, known for flowy fashion pieces, would have a different approach to design...

“My hope is that these clothes add comfort to the lifestyle of whoever wears them. Incorporating design elements that make you fall in love at first sight, these items emphasise ease and breeziness. As shown in today’s look, a seemingly dressy item can be made casual if you style it with an everyday T-shirt. It’s good to do something unexpected, like pairing a dress with a bow on it with jeans and riding a bike. These are clothes that make you want to wear them right away, and feel that way for your whole life. The ideal wardrobe is built slowly over time, solving little everyday problems, or filling in gaps, until you wind up with a perfect style. UNIQLO’s idea that favourite clothes should last really resonates with me.”

Centring on the everyday, maintaining a natural posture. This stance shows up in the forward-thinking nature of the brand’s designs.

“For our tenth-anniversary collection released in Fall 2025, we made dresses using leftover fabrics. We keep all the fabrics we’ve developed. I get so much inspiration looking at what we’ve already created. It’s about working with what’s there, more than feeling like you need to keep doing something completely new. I also think that as an independent brand, it’s part of what gives you your DNA. I’m quite nostalgic, so I also love keeping things. There’s such a beauty to that.”

Dress from the ten year anniversary show in 2025 which was made using an original look from the 2023 Fall & Winter collection.

Just as she says, the studio is well-stocked with many kinds of cloth. Cecilie is currently fascinated by, of all things, jersey fabric.

“We tried a little before, but now we’re delving even deeper. We’re looking for an easy fit shaped with stretchy materials, something a little edgy, so it expresses the character of the person wearing it. Jersey also works great in items for kids. That’s something we’ve been wanting to create. I think it would be so cute if we approached children’s clothes in the same way we do items for grownups.”

Cecilie says she gets her design inspirations while enjoying a morning coffee in the easy-going Østerbro area, where her studio is located in Copenhagen. The city is known widely as a source of fashion trends, largely due to Cecilie’s efforts.

“Time flows differently here than in Paris or London. We have some distance from the commercial influence of bigger cities. Call it a slower tempo. In the Copenhagen architecture and furniture scenes, they put major stock in timeless beauty. But we were kind of missing the same thing for fashion. I wanted to see if I could build on these same design values, creating something that would become a tradition. These days, the city has become home to a diverse array of fashion talent, adding new depth to the creativity and charm of Copenhagen.”

Cecilie Bahnsen

Fashion Designer

Born to a mother who went from modelling into nursing and a doctor father, Cecilie showed interest in fashion and design from an early age. After graduating from the Danish Design School, she worked as an assistant for Danish designer Anja Vang Kragh, working on costumes for the Royal Danish Opera and projects for Christian Dior. Later, she worked under John Galliano before heading to graduate school at London’s Royal College of Art. Afterwards, she worked as a design assistant at London-based brand ERDEM before returning to Copenhagen in 2015, where she launched Cecilie Bahnsen.

Item:: DRY-EX

Unique clothing changes the rules.
And changing the rules changes our lives.
Here’s another story of a masterpiece
made by UNIQLO to this day.

See the styling

Absorbing sweat and quickly drying. That’s what makes the UNIQLO items labelled DRY-EX special, but to meet this standard, they need to follow certain rules: moisture droplets must be fully absorbed into the fabric in a matter of seconds*; and moisture content must be reduced to less than a few percentage points after one hour**. Fabrics must satisfy both of these criteria to qualify. That’s because DRY-EX isn’t a material; it’s the name of a standard. This framework can be applied not only to jersey knits like T-shirts and polo shirts, but to other everyday items like hoodies made from thin material.

(L to R)

DRY-EX first came into being when UNIQLO brand ambassadors Shingo Kunieda and Kei Nishikori, who were helping us to make the clothing that they wore in tennis matches, asked if there was any way to elevate the existing standards. A decade later, the knitting machine pictured to the left continues to be a major driver of innovation. These machines allow for garments to be made in one continuous process, just like innerwear and socks. As we’ll describe more on the next page, this means the mesh and fabric layers of the T-shirts and polos can be knitted seamlessly. Yarn spun in the blue lower chamber is dispensed from the duct at the rear. This analog setup belies a product so advanced it would be fair to call these clothes wearable technology.

*As calculated by JIS L 1907 dripping method.

** Diffusible residual moisture content. At a testing temperature 20°C and relative humidity 65%, 0.3 ml of water is dropped on the test piece and weighed at intervals. Diffusible residual moisture content (%) = water content (ml) at each time interval / water content (ml) just after drop x 100 (measured before and after washing). JIS L 1930 C4G standard for machine washing: 10x

It’s more than quick-dry! Here’s why DRY-EX is so comfortable.

Structure

Let’s first explain how drying works in the fabrics used for T-shirts and polos. The knits of the interior and exterior are linked. The outside consists of irregular cross-sectional polyester fibres, the surface area of which is increased by minute grooves that elevate the evaporation rate. The inside consists of circular cross-sectional nylon fibres. Contacting the skin, these fibres wick away sweat. Swiftly transferring absorbed moisture to the surface fibres helps to prevent the fabric from sticking.

Mesh

Optimising the density of the knit to make the most of each surface’s characteristics smooths out the pathway from absorption to transfer to dispersal to evaporation, yielding a material that keeps you crisp and dry even when you sweat. Adding mesh gives the fabric increased breathability, plus it’s engineered to speed up evaporation. And to help against the summer heat, this season’s T-shirt has about 30% more mesh.

Seamless

Another amazing aspect of the knitting machine shown on the previous pages is that the use of mesh can be adjusted precisely. To maximise functionality, the fabric can vary by area, with mesh used in sweat-prone spots like the underarms and back while opting for a denser weave across the chest. This allows an item to be knit all in one piece, including any tapering at the sleeves and waistline, preventing the chafing or bulkiness caused by seams. Fine-tuning the knit gives the interior loft and a pique-like feel. It also helps to reduce sheerness.Otro aspecto increíble de la tricotosa que vimos en la página anterior es que permite ajustar con precisión el uso de malla. Para maximizar la funcionalidad, el tejido varía según la zona. La malla se emplea en zonas más propensas a la sudoración como las axilas y la espalda, mientras que se opta por un tejido más tupido en el pecho. De este modo, la prenda se puede tejer en una única pieza, incluido cualquier ahusado de las mangas o la cintura, lo que evita los roces y el volumen de las costuras. Al perfeccionar el punto, se consigue holgura en el interior y una sensación similar a la del piqué. También contribuye a disminuir la transparencia.Another amazing aspect of the knitting machine shown on the previous pages is that the use of mesh can be adjusted precisely.

Though we’ve been talking about T-shirts and polos in terms of fabric, don’t forget that DRY-EX is a standard. Jackets have this incredible drying ability as well. The breathable and quick-drying DRY-EX hoodie is stretchy and has UV Protection (UPF 50+*), almost like a wearable parasol. It’ll even keep you comfortable under the summer sun.

Roger Federer speaks to the comfort and reliability of DRY-EX.

UNIQLO first released the DRY-EX polo shirt modelled by Roger Federer in 2018. It has now been eight years. We asked Roger to share his thoughts on the latest DRY-EX items from his namesake collection, and how well they work for tennis.“What I like about DRY-EX is that it feels effortless. It moves with you, stays light, and keeps you comfortable even when the intensity goes up. You don’t have to think about it, which is exactly what you want on court.”

This season’s two models cover styles both on and off the court.“They both feel great to wear, but each has its own character. One is a bit more performance-focused, the other more relaxed for off court. The fit is clean and comfortable. The green and blue give the collection a fresh, modern look.”What does DRY-EX mean to Roger?“I was impressed by the quality of the material when I first wore it back in 2018, and it’s only improved since. While on tour, I could always rely on it. Over the years, DRY-EX has continued to evolve with new designs that feel current while keeping the same high standards.”

Athlete

Born 8 August 1981 in Basel, Switzerland. Participated in his first ATP tour in 1998. In 2004, Roger became the world No. 1 for the first time and held the top position for a record 237 weeks. He has won twenty Grand Slam singles titles, including a record eight Wimbledon titles. Roger is one of the most influential athletes not only in tennis, but in the world of sports. During the photo shoot, he showed us an artistic backhand.

UNIQLO and Our Town

vol.11 Republic of Korea

[Seoul, Myeongdong]

UNIQLO is part of the community. This time we’re delving into the Myeongdong area of Seoul, where UNIQLO is opening a global flagship store in this spring. This walkable district brilliantly blends classic and modern.

Seoul is winning fans all over the world through its culture and food. Centrally located Myeongdong offers the perfect interplay of old-time charm and bracing innovation. Just a block away from all the brand-name stores, you’ll find a town that comes alive with food vendors at night. Walk through the old-time underground arcade, and you’ll surface right in front of sophisticated boutiques. Here’s a glimpse at some of Myeongdong’s classic spots that continue to thrive in this ever-changing area.

Here’s a glimpse at some of Myeongdong’s classic spots that continue to thrive in this ever-changing area.

UNIQLO Myeongdong

This spring, we’re opening UNIQLO Myeongdong, a new global flagship store in the first three floors of a hotel building in this bustling area. Boasting 3,200m² of retail space, the store has services like UTme! and RE.UNIQLO STUDIO as well as pickup lockers on the first floor. The massive LED logo is just right for the modern facade.

Seven Myeongdong Classics

CD & Record Store, Buruttrak

Buruttrak (“Garden of Taste”) opened for business in 1978 and has been operating out of the current four-floor building since 1995. Famously used as a location in films like The Contact (1997) and the 2012 drama Reply 1997, the store feels like a time warp back into the late 1990s. The first two floors, stocked with K-pop and soundtracks to Korean dramas, are popular with tourists, hence the selection of branded goods. Visit the third floor for an assortment of classical records.

1-4F, 37-1 Myeongdong 8na-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul

Coffee & Tea, Eulji Dabang

Established in 1985, Eulji is a bastion of Korea’s “dabang” cafe culture. Popular items include ssanghwa-tang (6, 000 KRW), a traditional herbal tea served with an egg yolk, but the naeng-keopi (iced coffee, 5, 000 KRW) is not to be missed. Until second wave and third wave coffee hit Korea, this chilled drink served with milk and sugar was the people’s choice.

Myeongdong’s Classic Underground

Located in central Seoul, historic Myeongdong charms visitors with its labyrinthine streets. Here and there, you’ll find still more streets underground, giving walkers a way to zip from one place to the next. Don’t miss the shops along the underground streets connecting Namdaemun Market and Myeongdong, or Euljiro and Dongdaemun History & Culture Park. This is a great place to check out a unique aspect of life in Seoul, where everyday shoppers mingle with those fleeing the heat, the cold, or rainy weather.

Built in the booming 1960s and 1970s, these subterranean streets have no shortage of old-school shops. Located only a few minutes on foot from UNIQLO Myeongdong is the Hoehyeon Underground Shopping Center, another blast from the past. Opened in the late 1970s, this arcade has loads of shops devoted to analog media like records, stamps, coins, cameras, and books.

These underground streets also function like a pipeline linking otherwise disconnected areas. Some of the connections may come as quite the surprise!

58 Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

Italian Restaurant, La Cantina

The first Italian restaurant in Korea. Opened in 1967. For ages, these opulent interiors have been synonymous with a certain kind of Western cuisine in Seoul. For something special, order the off-menu Samsung Set (55, 000 KRW), named after the founder of Samsung Group, who was a regular. The tried-and-true combo of bread, soup, pasta, salad, steak, dessert and coffee is sure to leave you feeling satisfied.

B1F, Samsung Bldg., 19 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul

Kyobo Book Centre Gwanghwamun

The flagship store of Kyobo Book Centre, Korea’s largest chain, is located at the heart of Seoul in Gwanghwamun Plaza. Opened in 1981 on the basement level of the Kyobo Life Insurance building, designed by César Pelli and built in 1980. The sprawling 8,595m² space has a huge selection of literature, art books, and business-related volumes along with departments for knick-knacks and stationery, as well as a gallery featuring paintings by literary greats. Far more than a bookstore, this is a favourite meet-up spot and a destination for the entire family.

B1F, Kyobo Life Insurance Co. Bldg., 1 Jong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul

Cold Noodles, Jinju Hoegwan

Located on the west side of Myeongdong, the City Hall district is another bustling historic area full of beloved shops. This noodle restaurant opened in 1962 is a perfect place to try Kongguksu (16, 000 KRW), a summer staple. Jinju Hoegwan makes the soy milk broth of this cold noodle dish extra thick. The beany flavour shines through without any additional salt. We recommend seasoning with a bit of the house-made napa cabbage kimchi.

Tea, Arcade Tove

This café opened in 2025 in the basement of the Korea Press Center building, which was erected in 1985. The striking interior feels like a time capsule, just right for the modern jazz playing from high-end speakers. Try the popular lemon jelly (6, 000 KRW) with teas like oolong (10, 000-11, 000 KRW), white tea (11, 000 KRW), or black tea (15, 000 KRW). There’s also a daily special featuring black tea and shaved ice (17, 000 KRW).

B1F, Korea Press Center, 124 Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul

Isaac Toast Seoul Myeongdong

Korean toast, fried on an iron griddle, is a classic Seoul breakfast. This chain makes it easy to sample the dish. Many of the menu items feature the shop’s namesake Isaac Sauce, which adds a bit of sweetness to everything from the Ham Cheese toast (3, 300 KRW) to the signature Grilled Bulgalbi toast (5, 000 KRW), all at reasonable prices and just-right portions. Perfect for when you’re feeling peckish while shopping or for breakfast, since the store opens at seven in the morning.

Taste of the Town

Sampling the local cuisine gives you a taste of the culture.
Here’s another easy recipe from a city that’s home to many UNIQLO stores.

Episode 07:

Dakgangjeong

Country:

Republic of KoreaSeoul

Dakgangjeong, Korea’s take on fried chicken, is both home cooking and street food. Everybody has a favourite neighbourhood shop. One might even call this dish the taste of Seoul. The word has two parts: dak (chicken) and gangjeong (candy). As the name suggests, the chicken is dressed in a sweet and salty sauce, with the sugary edge provided by jocheong, a syrup made from malted grain.

Cafe Fritz’s dakgangjeong, made with a recipe from the chef at Mingles, a Michelin 3-star restaurant in Seoul, is complemented by an extensive wine list. Whether it’s marinating the chicken or frying twice to bring out extra crispiness, this dish takes time, but the mouth-watering aroma and juicy texture are well worth the wait.

Ingredients (serves 1)

Chicken thighs: 4 (skin on) 

Marinade
Salt: 1.5 Tbsp Sugar: 1 tsp Soy sauce: 0.5 tsp Water: 400ml

Sauce
Jocheong: 7 Tbsp (honey also works) Sugar: 3 Tbsp Soy sauce: 3 Tbsp  Lemon juice: 1 Tbsp  Garlic: 3 cloves

Batter
All-purpose flour: 200g Garlic powder: 1 Tbsp, 1 tsp  Onion powder: 1 Tbsp, 1 tsp  Salt: 1 tsp 

Toppings 
Almonds: 8  Lotus root chips: 10  Black sliced olives: 10

Instructions

20 mins after marinading

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add chicken thighs. Marinate in fridge for 12 hours.
In a small pot, add jocheong, sugar, soy sauce. Bring to boil over a high heat. Once it bubbles, remove from heat and cool to room temp. Add lemon juice and garlic. Stir.
Heat oil to 170°C and combine 130g all-purpose flour, 260ml water, and seasonings in a bowl to make the batter.
Cut chicken thighs (1) into bite-size pieces and coat with batter (3). Sprinkle with the remaining 70g flour. Fry for 2.5 to 3 min. Set on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Once oil has been absorbed, fry again at 170°C and place on fresh paper towels.
Add (5) to bowl. Lightly dress with sauce (2). Plate and garnish with toppings.

Ujin, who taught us this recipe, graduated from trade school before joining Fritz. Along with supervising baking operations for the cafe’s various locations, he also writes about bread-related topics. Choi’s music and reading interests help motivate and inspire his work life.

Fritz operates a number of cafes throughout the Republic of Korea. Their seventh shop, located in the Jangchung area, is a rambling space consisting of three buildings in the middle of a courtyard of stately old trees. The dakgangjeong costs 15, 000 KRW. There’s also an assortment of seasonal Korean dishes like kimchi coleslaw (4, 500 KRW).

In 2014, I purchased a UNIQLO baby’s item in a blue car pattern. It was then passed down from one child to the next and now on to my sister, for her kids. Currently on its fifth baby! The oldest among them is eleven now. The youngest is seven months old.

This quality is unbelievable! Just writing to express my thanks. It’s great having the snap buttons a different color. It’s weirdly odd to find high-quality baby clothes that fit correctly. Thanks for making clothes that suit our needs. Sincerely.

Japan

High-quality baby clothes, made to last. That’s exactly what we’re aiming for in these products. On behalf of the development team, please accept our heartfelt thanks for getting so much use out of this item. We’re most grateful. It makes us pleased to see the craftsmanship of this particular item resonating with both you and your children. We hope you’ll get even more life out of this family favourite.

Baby clothing team

I bought these trousers for my husband. He’s just your average older guy, but now he looks like a young man again. I’m most grateful. The dark blue trousers look so youthful and lively. My only complaint is that some aspects of the finished product are lacking. Perhaps due to the polyester material?

Japan

Thank you for your comments on the AirSense trousers. Your feedback on the product is duly noted. We’ll continue our research, aiming for a product that makes the most of polyester for an item that looks like wool, but with lightness and stretch, and quick-drying properties.

Update

AIRism Crew Neck Long Sleeve T-Shirt

First off, I want to say thank you for reintroducing the AIRism long sleeve. In my opinion, this is one of your best items ever. I don’t care if it’s not available in stores. It doesn’t need to be marked down. As long as the people who need it can buy it. Lots of other reviewers are saying the same thing. Please find a way to make this a permanent part of the lineup. There’s truly nothing like it. The rest speaks for itself. Thank you so much. Oh, and I’m so certain you’ll make this a standard item that I only purchased four shirts this time!

Japan

Thank you for your restocking request. Due to popular demand, this item has been made available exclusively online in Japan, but as of 2026 Spring & Summer, it will also be available for sale in stores in Japan.

The other day, I purchased some mimosa flowers at the UNIQLO TOKYO store in Ginza. After my mother fell and was taken away in an ambulance, she was in poor health, really suffering. Amidst all this, I stopped by UNIQLO FLOWER and brought home some mimosas. And believe it or not, my mother’s health dramatically improved. She’s ninety, so we were worried she might never get up again, but thanks to UNIQLO, things have changed.

The Asahi Shimbun recently ran my account of this story in the letters to the editor section of the paper. Since my letter involved UNIQLO’s flower business, I’ve included it here in this message. I’ve visited all kinds of florists, and you have the absolute best variety, presentation, freshness, and prices. Plus, all the staff at the Ginza store are so kind, ready to share their knowledge. I love them so much. When I pass by the flower shop, it fills me with positive feelings. My mother uses a wheelchair and lives in Saitama, so Ginza is a little bit of a trip, but I hope to visit with my mother for some more flowers soon. Thank you for the beautiful bouquets.

Japan

We give the flower store the same level of careful planning as our other retail operations, from sourcing and receiving to cleaning, watering, stocking, and setting up displays. Each and every flower is individually checked for quality before being set out for customers. The members of our team were all delighted to receive your message. We’ve also shared it with our vendor at the wholesale market, who is working to provide us with even fresher flowers.

UNIQLO TOKYO, UNIQLO FLOWER team

As a plus-size girl, I want to look trendier because there’s not a lot that fits me from the department stores. Being able to present myself stylishly, wearing something for a long time because its quality is good, and not breaking the bank, is a 10/10 for me. Thanks UNIQLO for being size-inclusive.

Update

Ribbed Bra Top

The bra top fits just right, but since it’s on the shorter side, my family says that they can see my back if I lean over. I’d love it if you could make it just a little longer.

Japan

Thank you so much for the feedback. Starting this season, this item has been updated in select regions as requested to have a slightly longer cut.

I had my mastectomy last year. Since this product is known for its comfort, I used it during my recovery period. After the area was healed, at first I tried several mastectomy bras. But the discomfort was such that I couldn’t even wear them for the whole day. They’re meant for mastectomy patients but I don’t know why I’m really not satisfied despite getting the very expensive ones.

I decided to go back to my UNIQLO Ultra Relax Wireless Bra, and OMG WHAT A RELIEF! I know its purpose is not for people like me but this product is my everyday saviour for my daily life. I wear this at home and at work. This is my second bra but I plan to purchase more. The quality and comfort is there. I am thankful for UNIQLO and the people who designed this product. You don’t know the relief that I’m able to feel every time I go out, feeling like my best self. Thank you so much with all my heart.

Canada

We’ve worked hard to develop a product that feels good for everyone, eliminating itchy seams and unnecessary tightness as much as possible. Along with the seamless relaxed fit wireless bra, in certain markets, we also offer bras that open at the front, specifically for those recovering from surgery. We’ll continue working hard to provide clothes suited for everybody’s everyday lives.

After seeing the UNIQLO 40th anniversary commercial, I felt the need to share an unforgettable memory. My father died about ten years ago from cancer. Towards the end, when he was allowed to make visits back to the house, I was driving us home and decided to swing by UNIQLO. Born and raised in the country, my father was a farmer his whole life, and he had never once set foot in any kind of store to purchase clothing. This was his first time, and also my first time shopping with him. In light of the cold weather and his condition, I decided to buy us fleeces. “Here Dad, ” I said, handing him a green one. “This one’s for you, ” he told me, pointing out a smoky pink. He used to wear a large, but at that point a medium was fine. When he asked the cashier, “Is it okay to wear these out?” they were kind enough to remove the tags. As we both stepped out wearing our fleeces, my father said, “UNIQLO is so warm.” Two days later, back at the hospital, my father placed the fleece at his bedside and put it on whenever he woke up. The northerly winds were strong that day. As I got up to go, my father handed me the fleece. “You wear it home.”

The next day, I came back with his green fleece, which I’d washed for him, along with a beige one that he never wound up wearing. These three fleeces are treasured relics from a valuable memory between me and my father. Now I’m sick myself, just like my dad was. But whenever I watch this UNIQLO commercial, it makes me grateful I’m alive and instills me with a hope that someday, I’ll be able to go back from a small fleece to a medium. UNIQLO, thank you so much for giving my father and me these treasures. And thank you for helping me live on. I’ll never forget it.

Japan

Fleeces have a special significance at UNIQLO, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024. This treasured memory of wearing our fleeces with your father adds another layer of significance, and we are so thankful that you would take the time to share it with us.

I look forward to the flyers coming every weekend. UNIQLO offers such detailed information. Everything from items and prices to materials, new colours, photos of people wearing the items, notes on improved features, online sales, and customer feedback. For such limited space, it’s packed with information. An amazing resource. I’m always so impressed. Finding all this info online would be really difficult. Personally, I find it much easier on paper. It’s simple to compare items and explore.

I’m sure the production costs are high, but I hope you can continue the flyers, even if it’s just during the holidays. This is often why I wind up visiting the store.

Newspaper ads are in decline, but perhaps these flyers still play a role in spurring word of mouth or social media responses. Even if I don’t buy something every week, UNIQLO is always on my mind, so I check out the stores regularly. So even if the frequency changes, I hope you can continue doing flyers. Thanks so much for your consideration.

Japan

As the department responsible for these flyers, we thank you for your careful attention to our work. All the members of our team are grateful. It’s fair to say we spend more time and money on our flyers than any other enterprise. That’s because we see these flyers as love letters to our customers. Hence the rich array of content you described. We hope to continue refining our process to create the ideal reading experience for our customers.

Flyer production team

I have difficulty seeing and use a white cane to get around. Usually my wife buys me everyday goods like clothes, but one day I was in a pinch, so I went shopping alone. I told the staff I needed a short sleeve polo and was led to the right place by a young lady, where another staff member came over to help me find some trousers. From there, they assisted me all the way through the sale, even bagging my items.

I’ve never had such a wonderful customer experience. I was truly amazed. It makes me so grateful. I also wanted to note that the sizes on the collars are extremely easy to read. I’m used to taking photos of the tags and zooming in to see them, but I can read these tags without a problem. It’s phenomenal. Since I stopped by at half-past eight, just before closing, I was worried there would be no time to shop, but they took such amazing care of me. We were all done in fifteen minutes. I’ll be sure to tell my friends they’ll have no trouble shopping at this store.

Japan

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We’re so pleased you were given such a warm welcome. We’ll continue to try even harder to ensure that all customers feel welcome shopping with us. We eagerly look forward to seeing you again.

Making it through the winter.

“In winter, the kitchen can reach -10°C, so we have to put food in the fridge so it won’t freeze. In the mornings, sometimes I’ll open the front door and find a wall of snow. I didn’t get my licence until moving here. It can be really frustrating driving on the snowy hills, but with so many mountains in the area like Madarao, Myoko, Togakushi, and Iizuna, my husband, who loves skiing, says he’s in heaven. The first wild vegetable of the year is fukinoto, which pokes its face out of the snow. Until we can start harvesting vegetables in June, we’ll pick away at our stockpile in the snow cellar.”

Three years ago, chef Maori Haas Murota and her family of three relocated from Paris to Nagano. Hugo, her architect husband, and Jimmy, a Swedish carpenter friend in a neighbouring town, are hard at work renovating their 150-year-old home. Today, they’re getting ready to finish the walls and treat the floors with a natural insulating compound made from rice husks and lime.

“Someday, when no one lives here anymore, we want this house to naturally decompose. Right now, we’re working on the doma and the bedroom, so half the house is a construction site! The countertop in the kitchen, which is my workspace, is a desk reclaimed from a science classroom at a school. The basket we use for fetching veggies from the garden and the lanterns we use for light fixtures are all treasured gifts as well.”

The epitome of local produce

“Most of the vegetables we eat are shared with us by neighbouring farms. These are bountiful harvests. For today’s lunch, I’m using tomato, satsumaimo, and eggplant we were given the other day. I usually spend around two hours in the kitchen, staring at these vegetables and choosing how to prepare them, like I’m on some kind of a game show. Lots of what I make, I’m making for the first time. If it’s good, I’ll make it again and try writing up a recipe. I also write cookbooks, so my notes are filled with scribbles, almost like magic spells. Because I like to improvise, it’s hard for me to measure things out for a recipe...

How about we head out to the garden for some veggies? I had my eye on a specific mitsuba plant. There’s also basil, myoga and cherry tomatoes ready for picking. I’m realising that I cook with different foods now, compared with when we lived in Paris. Parisians get their fruits and vegetables at the market, focusing on what’s in season, but here, I’m cooking solely with things grown in a half-kilometre radius, the epitome of local produce. The eggplants Jimmy grows are packed with seeds. We’ll eat them with soy yogurt and tomato sauce, or do a Lebanese dish using chilli oil made with some of our misansho. My husband absolutely loves grilled eggplant.”

Maori is mostly vegan, while her husband Hugo maintains a vegetable-centric diet, though when they’re invited as dinner guests, they’ll gladly eat whatever’s made for them. In this day and age, relaxing one’s own rules to accommodate others is an admirable custom.

What is it you truly love?

Maori lived in Paris for twenty years. Pursuing a career in fashion, she was an assistant designer for Christophe Lemaire. She knew that she loved making things, but when she took a step back from the ever-changing world of fashion trends to ask herself what she really loved, she decided to go down the cooking path.

A portion of the truckload of rice husks drying in Hugo’s workspace on the property. They’re part of a DIY insulation that will help the floors and walls block out the cold. As a founder of the Paris architectural team Ciguë, Hugo worked on interiors for the Uniqlo U design studio in Paris. Today, he runs hugo haas studio, looking after a variety of projects in Tokyo and Paris.

“My father and mother love cooking too. I started helping them when I was little. We ate all kinds of great dishes from Japan and all over the world. For me, travelling revolves around food. Asian street food especially. I can’t get enough. Once I had built up the courage to make cooking my livelihood, my first job was catering a small show for Lemaire. After relocating to Nagano in 2023, I started writing cookbooks and making dishes using local organic produce for Vrac Market, a store run by a friend here who has helped make the move a lot easier. I was born in Tokyo and spent long stretches of time in cities like New York and Paris. This is my first time living in the countryside. I’m really feeling the effects of the environment. It’s taught me just how important community is. My husband can’t really speak Japanese, but he still helps out the old guys in the neighbourhood with chopping wood. We’d imagined ourselves living a laidback existence, but each season brings its own demands, whether it’s harvesting vegetables or shovelling snow. The average age around here is eighty-five. We want to continue this lifestyle as long as we can. Not pushing things, but working naturally, and having fun.”

Maori’s family loves to spend time at the pond near their house. Denim is the perfect material for this kind of natural living. Hugo’s denim utility jacket and baggy jeans are both from this season's collection.

My worn-out uniform

When Maori and her husband moved from Paris to Nagano, they arrived carrying two suitcases each. This meant leaving lots of things behind, but inside one of those suitcases was a pair of UNIQLO jeans she’d had for fifteen years.

“When I made the shift from clothing to cooking, I also revamped my style. I was used to wearing haute couture, but then one day I passed by a UNIQLO in Paris and discovered a simple pair of jeans. I can wear them in the field. They’re full of holes. I don’t think twice about wiping off my dirty hands on them. I want my everyday clothes to be with me for the long haul, a part of daily life. The same goes for dishware and recipes. There’s nothing wrong with dishes anyone can make. I’ve had my UNIQLO mesh belt since Paris, while I picked up the denim jacket secondhand. Whether it’s clothes, dishware, or tools, I appreciate items that have a broken-in feel. A few years ago, when I decided to focus on making delicious dishes without using animal products, I resolved to build my wardrobe around pre-worn items. Maybe this has something of the Mingei aesthetic, where tears and cracks only add to the charm of a piece. I think it’s all about comfortable longevity. Not letting the rules hold you back. UNIQLO is so important to our family. It’s part of the fabric of daily life.”

Rome Woven in Light and Colour

What does it mean to be Roman? Something far removed from the clichés that popular film culture has drummed into our imaginations. To understand what Rome truly is, one must forget the banalities of the so-called dolce vita and look away from the crowded guidebooks and hotspots endlessly recycled on social media. That is not the city; that is a postcard, a sugared image for outsiders. For those who are from here, the beauty of its architecture, parks, churches and history is simply part of daily life. To live in Rome is to lose yourself in the small rituals that allow you to feel its long story from another angle — the real one.

Summer in Rome is unique. Days seem endless, and the honeyed light, warm and beguiling, glances off the palazzi, returning a sandy, romantic atmosphere. It is undeniable that every corner appears like a film set - but not a Hollywood one, rather one drawn from your own memory. When at Piazza San Cosimato market, the city shows its colours first: tomatoes in quiet, sun-warmed reds, basil in cool greens, bread and pasta in pale, inviting tones. These colours naturally show up in what people wear - linen that lifts with a breeze, cotton softened by light, clothes chosen to feel at ease, but always chic. Nothing is fixed; the heat decides.

A short walk leads behind Villa Farnesina, where jasmine lingers in the air, like a quiet pleasure released from private rooms behind shuttered windows and terraces. Here, the din of the street softens into the hush of backstreets, and the cool shade of its perfumed lanes offers respite from the summer glare. Then the path opens toward the Tiber, where young couples wander under the sun, eating gelato — the emblem of an Italian summer in which time dilates in favour of a life lived in slow motion, wearing fabrics loosely, as if weightless.

About LifeWear magazine Issue 14

What, exactly, makes clothes “new”?

Something you’ve simply never seen before. Giving you access to a novel perspective. Colours and patterns with seasonality, making you feel fresh and positive. These are all aspects of newness, but at UNIQLO, that’s just part of the story. What matters most is whether these pieces have what it takes to become the basics of the future. While the colours and silhouettes are tuned in to the current trends, there’s a constant question: are these items essential for today?
This issue focuses specifically on changing colours and silhouettes, a major facet of the spring and summer collections. From bright reds and greens to modern pastels. The outfits run the gamut. And all of them are sure to lend a freshness to your wardrobe.

Another major focus at UNIQLO is the voices of customers like you. We receive all manner of feedback, from good news to tough criticism to comments that we can’t read without shedding tears. In our view, responding to this input with sincerity is the best way to keep things new.

We hope that all of these new items will last well beyond a single season, becoming your new favourites. Holding this hope in our hearts, we’ll continue to update LifeWear, ensuring that it’s made for all.
