Japanese global apparel retailer UNIQLO redefines what classics are with the launch of its Fall/Winter 2022 collection. Dubbed Today’s Classics, the new collection of LifeWear is filled with wardrobe staples that have been reinvented to adapt to the needs of today’s lifestyle.
“There is a reason why our LifeWear pieces such as the tweed jacket, trench coat, or cashmere sweater are loved through the years. They are designed well and effectively serve their purpose. UNIQLO, however, believes that even these classics can evolve with the times. That’s the inspiration behind this season’s collection,” says Geraldine Sia, UNIQLO Philippines’ COO.
For Fall/Winter 2022, UNIQLO has designed warmer and lighter jackets, water-repellent coats, and knitwear made using *WHOLEGARMENT® technology. Emphasizing sustainability, this new collection features denims that require much less water during production, and jackets and fleeces made from recycled plastic bottles.
*WHOLEGARMENT is a registered trademark of SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD.

OUTERWEAR
UNIQLO
has expanded its collection of outerwear to suit a wide range of lifestyles and
settings, from shirt jackets to chic wool coats.

Ultra Light Down Jacket

lighter and softer but still durable, the water-repellent coating protects the
wearer from rainy days, while the pocketable feature allows it to be stored
when not in use.
Women’s
Corduroy Cropped Jacket
The
cropped length in a boxy fit gives this jacket a sleek look, but the relaxed
fit and dropped shoulders make it cozy to wear. Its classic corduroy fabric is
washed for a softer look.
Women’s
Fluffy Yarn Fleece
This
is the ultimate in coziness: the fuzzy fleece is made with long-pile yarn for a
warm, light, and soft feel with a natural stretch. The length extends to the
hips for added warmth and coverage.
Men’s
MA-1 Blouson
This
wardrobe essential comes in a modern silhouette with classic details. Its
voluminous and relaxed fit is complemented by its lightweight yet durable nylon
twill outer layer. The water-repellent coating protects the wearer from the
rain.
