Once brighter days are here, it’s time for madras plaid. Named for its roots in the textile traditions of Madras (today, Chennai) in South India, this colourful plaid shines in the cleansing sunlight. Matched here with a pair of ripstop nylon shorts. Water-resistant and tough, with so much pocket space that you won’t need a bag.

3.Madras Checked Pullover Short Sleeve Shirt

Offered in two styles: plain collar pullover and button-down. Roomy fit with a cropped length. Works nicely untucked.

4.Pocketable UV Protection Anorak Parka

When the sun is blazing, block UV radiation with this anorak. Hood packs into the collar. The boxy silhouette and contrasting colorblock are a mood.

5.Geared Shorts

The gusset allows for a greater range of movement in the legs, so that you can go all-out and pedal your bike hard. Also great for hanging by the river or the ocean.

Tough and Slick

This is a bag for every occasion, whether it’s a visit to the flower shop or bakery, the grocery store, or a camping trip. With a tote this big, you can go anywhere. Uses a three-layer structure of laminated canvas - a UNIQLO staple. This keeps out water, while the pockets carry whatever you need. Our new brown and ivory colourway looks fabulous with a simple floral printed dress.

Vintage Style

This season’s chambray shirts are a bit different. Made from a robust lightweight cotton, the arms and shoulders are triple-stitched using a low-count thread, making this one tough garment. Classic details like flap pockets and side-seam gussets will make lovers of vintage workwear ooh and aah. Looks better every time you wear it.

Switch it Up

This versatile piece can be worn three ways: as a dress, as a lightweight jacket, or tied at the waist with the matching belt. The high-quality 100% cotton chambray fabric has an attractive sheen that looks sleek even with the sleeves rolled up.

Refreshing Blues

We live in a world that turns away from faded colours, but indigo is an exception. It’s fun to watch the colours change with every wash into your own personal shade of blue. For our indigo collection, new this season, we’re offering two pocket tees, light and dark, in an oversized silhouette. Pair with white chinos for a summer staple.

All the Pockets

Sofia Coppola wears the black version of this short jacket on Hello, Sofia. A great match for high-waisted trousers, the pattern has nice edges, but the fit has elasticity, keeping it easy. The drop shoulders and boxy pattern cover all the bases.

New to You

High waists and slight flares are trending. Developed in partnership with Hiroshima-based Kaihara Denim, these silhouettes have a relaxed fit below the knee. Nice and light, just right for spring. Keeping the look authentic, we’ve added a hint of stretch for extra comfort.

Stripes, Stripes, and more Stripes

This striped dress was made for bright, clear days. Like the time-honoured French sailor’s shirt, only longer, this authentic design uses 100% jersey fabric, which resists twisting. The plain lines of the boat neck accentuate the shoulders, while the relaxed fit has a gorgeous, billowing drape.

1.Striped Boat Neck Long Sleeve Dress

Available in three colourways, including a navy background and a springy version that has yellow stripes. Side slits at the hem (just the right length!) let this dress move and sway with every step.

2.Cotton Parka (Seersucker)

Curiously enough, parkas made from lightweight, preppy seersucker are hard to come by. This one has a boxy fit, with roomy arms. Also available in two colours of breezy cotton.

Choose Your Hat

With high-performance features like UV Cut technology and moisture-wicking, quick-drying material, this bucket hat is great for everyday wear, as well as camping and festivals. The new women’s hat references the “dixie cup” hats worn by sailors in the US Navy and looks cool on men as well, worn with an open collar.

Lapels for the Ladies

Previously available only for men, our Ultra Light Jacket and matching Ultra Light Trousers are now offered for women as well. Easy to care for, they have a perpetually dry touch and won’t wrinkle after washing. The jacket’s silhouette is relaxed but slim in the shoulders. Endlessly versatile, it runs the gamut from business to casual.

Feel the Breeze

This sheer cardigan is here to let you feel the warm spring air. A perfect blend of modal and acetate, it’s light and smooth to the touch. Take advantage of the sheer material and pair with a white crew neck T-shirt, for a modern look with striking depth and contrast. The machine washable fabric makes care a breeze as well.

Good Summer Vibes

The colour of your swim shorts says a lot about your outlook for the summer. It’s hard to choose between the green, evoking tropical waters, and the sandy gold, reminiscent of the beach. Made from water-repellent nylon and lined. The straightforward design looks great on land or sea. Heading into town? Try the chic light grey or the cool blue.

2 Way Utility Shorts

Authentic Glasses

UNIQLO’s eyewear has changed, as anyone can see. These trim matte-finished metal frames are silver all around, to the tips of the temples. The tortoiseshell Boston frames have a classic keyhole bridge, while the Wellington frames have a slightly larger lens, but not too big. These old-school styles hit the spot. Lenses* are gentle on the eyes.

*UV400 lenses block 25% of blue light from smartphones and other devices and 99% of UV rays (according to JIS L 1925-2019 Evaluation Method of Ultraviolet Ray-Shielding).

Leather Forever

If you want a quality belt that gains character with age, pick up this modern classic, made using saddle leather from Tuscany-based tannery Volpi Concerie. Over time, the buckle takes on a burnished, slightly golden tinge. Since the leather softens with use, the fit only gets better.

Italian Saddle Leather Belt

Textured Necklines

An update on the classic, our waffle henley has been specially washed for an extra-soft feel. Rustic colours like olive, beige and off-white and the cat eye buttons of the placket reference military styles.

Making Big Steps

Our new wide jeans aren’t simply bigger in the legs. Gently tapering towards the ankles, they have a flattering, relaxed fit without the rumpled bagginess. Paired here with a wide-striped tee, which has an oversized silhouette but looks smart layered over a white polo.

2.Oversized Striped Crew Neck Half Sleeve T-Shirt

Sized with room to spare using a crispy, pleasantly thick fabric, this is a shirt that moves with you. Available in three colourways.

6.Wide Fit Jeans

Uses lightweight 10.5 oz denim, great for spring and summer. The relaxed, easygoing silhouette drapes just right, perfect for a walk.

New Wave Polo Shirt

The look of a rugby shirt, built like a polo. This unisex garment has a simple button front, rather than a covered placket, while the collar uses a soft jersey fabric. Looks equally great worn one size up or in a more fitted style, tucked into high-rise jeans.

Active Basics

This UV Cut long sleeve AIRism cotton shirt is ready to fend off sun and sweat alike when you play sports outside. For the full effect, pair with moisture-wicking, quick-drying DRY-EX shorts. The DRY-EX polo boasts functionalities designed for pro athletes, but the understated look makes it adaptable to any occasion.
