Essentials

From the latest collaborations to new renditions on fall classics,
here are fifteen fresh layering essentials.

ESSENTIAL1

Made for Layering

First off, here’s a classic pattern that will get you in the mood for fall. Inspired by single-breasted trench coats of the past, this quintessentially British item is part of the JW ANDERSON collection out early November. Featuring a gun club check, it has an oversized design that feels roomy over multiple layers. Because of the lining, it can be worn straight through winter, while the belt allows it to be dressed up . For all genders.

ESSENTIAL2

Sheer and Cozy

Made from a sheer and lacey mesh material, this high-neck long-sleeve T-shirt from UNIQLO and Mame Kurogouchi are ideal for layering. Wool cardigans with billowy sleeves open up new wardrobe possibilities. Tabi socks add a touch of elegance. Available early September.

ESSENTIAL3

Lucky Jacquard Cardigan

Pick up this cardigan from UNIQLO / INES DE LA FRESSANGE, and you’ll feel like you scored a great vintage sweater. The rounded neck and jacquard pattern are classics of French chic, while the raglan sleeve gives the shoulder line a modern feel. Four leaf clovers add an air of luck and levity to the style.

ESSENTIAL4

Banana Bags

Popular worldwide thanks to a post by British TikToker Caitlin Phillimore, these “banana bags” are back in a new selection of colors. Add some pop to your autumnal palette. Compact as they are, these bags hold more than meets the eye, due to a gusseted design. Simple and convenient.

ESSENTIAL5

Cargo Carryover

Multi-pocket cargo pants remain a fashion essential. Our new lineup includes the women’s model pictured here in a stove pipe pattern, along with men’s options like a parachute style from Uniqlo U and a gently tapered silhouette. You’re sure to find a pair that works for you.

ESSENTIAL6

UNIQLO and White Mountaineering

After two years or so, our collaboration with White Mountaineering is back! The fabric of this hooded fleece uses recycled polyester. The functional pockets, a staple of designer Yosuke Aizawa, are framed by a hybrid of boa fleece and sponge fleece in a modern 3D pattern. The drawstring at the hem ties it all together. Available in green (above), natural, brown, and black from mid-October.

ESSENTIAL7

The New Minimalism

Functional combinations are part of what makes layering fun. For outfits where a HEATTECH base layer is worn under a fleece or sweater, check out the new PUFFTECH parka, filled with a performance material jointly developed with Toray Industries. This padded outer layer combines lightness with next-level warmth. Rather than the usual quilt stitch, the minimalist sporty pattern has fused panels for a stitchless design.

ESSENTIAL8

Fluffy Vests are the Best

High-pile fleece, a perfect midlayer, instantly warms up any outfit. Because of the boxy cut, this vest makes for an interesting top layer over a sweater or hoodie. Most of all, it’s just as soft and fluffy as it looks. Great for wearing around the house on chilly days.

ESSENTIAL9

Marshmallow Wear

Touch this new down jacket and you’ll be amazed: the marshmallowy softness is so pleasant you won’t want to let go. The secret is the thin 30 denier fabric, specially designed by Toray Industries using NANODESIGN® technology. The fine-tuned texture is achieved by engineering the weave at the nano level. This jacket has an upright collar and wide quilted panels of premium 750* fill power down, locking in lightness and warmth.

ESSENTIAL10

Low Gauge Essentials

There’s nothing like a knit hat to mark the start of winter. HEATTECH fibers provide certifiable warmth. This season, we’ve updated the blend for extra softness. Pick from a range of colors to complement the tone of a sweater, or choose a bright hue as an accent piece. The classic shape looks great on anyone.

ESSENTIAL11

Chic Flannels

Out early October, these new button down shirts from Uniqlo U use soft flannel in understated plaids. Thanks to a roomy fit and perfectly subdued colorways—touches artistic director Christophe Lemaire is known for—these shirts work great in trickier outfits that mix similar patterns or layer one shirt on top of the other.

ESSENTIAL12

An Overall Classic

Inspired by girl’s overalls, this skirt features classic brown corduroy fabric. Patch pockets give the piece a workwear feel, while tuck buttons at the waist allow for slight adjustments. Works great with a mock turtleneck long sleeve T-shirt for an instant autumn outfit.

ESSENTIAL13

Rugger Steals the Show

Incorporating sporty items adds new dimensions to your style. Try the authentic rugger polo worn over a dress shirt, or wear under a jacket for a preppy look. With orthodox details like rubber buttons and a herringbone twill placket, this shirt is sure to steal the show. A wardrobe must!

ESSENTIAL14

Masterpiece Archives

Launched as the “UNIQLO T-shirt Project” in 2003, UT has been around for over twenty years. Drawing from our archives, we’re rereleasing three works by pop art masters. Top to bottom, here we have Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. These art T-shirts have an evergreen appeal that works in any era.

ESSENTIAL15

Walking on Air

This season marks the launch of UNIQLO : C, a new collection by English designer Clare Waight Keller, interviewed on pg. 58. Women at Work Highlights include chunky loafer (an iconic British style) as well as three different kinds of boots. These shoes combine a classic style with a cushioned insole for a delightfully soft step. This is the new standard, prioritizing looks alongside functionality.
