The Uniqlo Thread

[cafedandy]

Nice, thanks for the feedback! How’s the sizing?

TTS is relaxed enough, also having the boat neck sit just right

When I buy from Uniqlo its usually solely U (sometimes a JW Anderson piece and Engineered Garments- please please I hope more comes from EG for Uniqlo!). I think of it more as the elevated basics angle. The oversized airism tshirts are a stellar example. The regular airism tshirts are more safe. I do wish there was more play with texture, color, pattern though. The seasons do start to bleed into each other as this goes on. I look forward to the sweat cardigan and wide shorts.

Looking back at the last 9 seasons, it really is more of the same. Not sure if they are marketing the range to new customers, old customers, or just everyone in general, which is the problem. They keep mentioning being focused, but it's starting to feel watered down. I remembered from past collections, especially the first Lemaire co-branded drop & the OG UU has some serious low-key fire.

I don't understand why they couldn't upgrade the line a little in terms of the little stuff, like buttons for instance. This is afterall, their premium line and the clientele knows what they want (at least i want to believe it that much.) Price points are similar +/- 10% so why the heck not? There's only 2 shots for a year so it really puzzles me, whereas their regular season drops shouldn't be competing but in a sense should synergize the special releases. That's what makes it special..& differentiating.

Agreed. Definitely fewer statement pieces than past seasons, but I find Uniqlo U punches above its weight for certain staples -- especially if you're into oversized silhouettes. The Airism tees, wide-fit sweats, pullover hoodies, and pleated pants are all hard to beat at the price point.

I'm personally planning to re-up with a relaxed suit, wide shorts, and wide joggers.

Anyone know why the US preview page no longer lists any SS21 button-up shirts?

Is the relaxed suit good enough for like attending weddings?

Depends on the formality of the event, but I've enjoyed wearing my grey tailored jacket + wide pants from 2019 to a few weddings.

I'd recommend trying on/handling the pieces in person if possible. Personally, I've been pleasantly surprised for the price.

Relegating U to a place for oversized t-shirts feels like a waste to me. If that's what is really popular and what everyone wants, just add it to the mainline Uniqlo.

Obviously they have to keep in mind what sells when the collection is put together, but i think it's easy to get mixed up between what doesn't because it's too left field, and what doesn't because it's simply not a good piece of clothing worth buying.

The U line doesn't need to be full of 'statement pieces' but rather interesting, wearable clothes that push past button down shirts and smart trousers. When they've done that it usually sells quite well - boa fleece liners, ripstop cargo pants, oversized cords, that onion stitch V-neck ultra light down etc, all did really well. From the new season those wide fit joggers all sold out within the first day (in the UK, anyway). The balance between that kind of stuff and the more conservative (and repeated) more tailored pieces has been getting worse each season.

Anyone know if the work pants fit TTS? Compared to Dickies?

TTS in my experience

 

[AlaninTally]

Anyone have recent experience with Uniqlo or U elastic waist pants & shorts? Mostly interested in sizing. Previously I always bought a medium due to size chart and model pics that always showed them marked as wearing a medium. Now the model pics all mark them wearing a large but it doesn’t appear that the size charts have changed. Wondering if new ones sit more at natural waist, models wearing a size up for more relaxed fit, or what? Lol

Is the entire shirting section missing for anyone else on the US site? I really want those camp collar shirts

Yeah, not appearing for me and it got dropped from the preview page a few days back as well. Probably a glitch b/c I don't remember them posting different dates for the drops (and it would be weird to entirely exclude shirting at launch). Or maybe they're having legitimate supply chain issues

Anyone tried this women’s UU coat? It could look good without the belt and since mens coats have usually 5 cm/2 inches excess in the sleeves this could work as it is.

But WTF the body width in size XL is... 83cm / 32 2/3 !!!

I mean... what the hell? My old rain mac from Uniqlo’s mens departmend has width of 68cm in size XL.

Opinions what to do? I do like clean oversized as a style.
