What’s also new from UNIQLO

LIGHTER DENIM. The retailer’s popular range of jeans have been made more comfortable for our muggy weather. Skinny Fit tapered jeans now bring together premium selvedge denim with stretch-ability, using a new fabric to make them 20 per cent lighter.

DOWN WITH RAIN. The Ultra Light Down collection has been updated for the possibility of rain — which, in Singapore is pretty much a 50-50 shot. Water-repellence for the fabric, down and stitching on some items have been dramatically increased.

AIRISM MADE BETTER. Men’s AIRism Mesh products now utilise a new yarn that increases coolness and breathability, while boasting an odour-control feature for indoor drying. For the ladies, moisturiser has been added to the range for an even softer feel.

KEEP YOUR PANTS ON. Dry Stretch Pants, developed with golf star Adam Scott, are made with a breathable synthetic fabric that feels like cotton but keeps you dry. Over at the women’s department, Smart Style Pants are now available in Ankle Pants and Satin Ankle options.

SNUG JACKETS. The wool-blend jacket range has been updated with stretchable fabrics in areas such as the lining. For the women, new stretch blazers, light cotton jackets, and seersucker jackets.

The Spring/Summer 2015 collection is being launched progressively at all UNIQLO stores.
