The new Jil Sander collection at Uniqlo

[PursuingProxemicExactitude]

Anyone else at least a tiny bit impressed?

And have you bought anything?

@faustina, I bought the hoodies in white (L) and blue (M). I've only worn the blue so far, but I had to wash it today after covering it with curry splashes yesterday (it has washed well for information). On me, M is a neat fit for t-shirts and sweaters. I am a small size 12. I size up to L if I want slouchy and to XL if I think a design would look better on me very slouchy.

The hoodies are planned to work over active wear I think. They stand away from the body at the hip (but there's a cord to gather) and are slightly longer at rear view, an inch or 3cm. I think they would look odd over wide leg jeans.

In my view, they are fab for £40, but I would warn you that when I looked at one of the Asian Uniqlo websites they sold out very fast in all the colours and all the sizes. At that stage there seemed to be no returns. I think this has been a really successful collaboration, and I am minded to stalk a pair of jeans just to try. I'd be interested to try the 25-inch waist jeans Faustina, because I've read a couple of times that this range is running a bit narrower than normal Uniqlo jeans. I hover between an 8 and a 10.

Sorry I didn't answer the question @faustina. If you want the photo style fit, buy your regular Uniqlo size. The design is cut to fit slouchy.

The M hoody is loose on the body, but neat on shoulders. The sleeves are cut quite narrow, with a small armhole to make the fit very sleek. Interestingly, the seam runs on the inside of your arm/elbow, not beneath it, which is much more flattering on me.

@XingMing - thank you! I actually saw loads of hoodies this morning, so they have restocked, and now I've read your opinion I might see if I can pick one up tomorrow if they restock again - I liked the way they stuck out at the back

I have the 24 jeans and they might just do (they were much better when tried the second time), but I would also like to try a 25

Lots back online today, if anyone's interested!

Thanks faustina ordered the stripey shirt

Although ...

I did get the thing I wanted. Any more would be greed.

And I'm not sure, right at this moment, about wanting things tried on and returned by other people ...

They wouldn't be returned this quickly surely

You may be right! Don't know actually. Since last Thursday? No idea how Uniqlo returns are processed.

Has anyone bought their oversized half-sleeve t-shirts? The description says they are mercerised and therefore have a "glossy sheen". Trying to work out what that's going to look like, and not wanting to pay delivery costs (and possible return costs) for something that is only £15.00...

@Maudesmum I have just bought one. Yeah their new no free returns policy is v annoying. I will update when it arrives.

Wish they had slightly more exciting colours than the navy, grey and black that I have been wearing all winter.

@MaudesMum I ordered it, it's not very glossy, it has a sheen but nothing blinding. I'm not finding it very oversized though so it's going back.

I've got the joggers in my bag in blue but I'm not sure about the sizing - I've got a M in my bag but I'm a generous 14 ...

Anyone know ?

Frequentflier, my stripey shirt is probably the brightest thing in my wardrobe right now!

But after a year of staring at the walls I am feeling unusually in need of colour in clothes. And am beginning to notice just how many designers/brands produce items, all year round, that are just not intended for my colouring. Really having to branch out from all the Anglo-Saxon camouflage neutrals.

Love it op. Have you seen that film with Tilda Swinton where the costumes are Jil Sander ? Very chic

But the stripey shirts are blue and white or gray and white? Am looking for nice bright fuchsia, emerald or turquoise now.🙂 Also avoiding shirts bcos I cant handle ironing.

If anyone’s concerned about the lack of free returns, you can sign up for 14 return refunds if you pay with PayPal. You pay the cost and then claim it back.

I Am Love is the film. Gorgeous styling.

Here you go, Frequentflier. All the colour you could wish for. I am obsessed with this brand at the moment. It's an expensive habit to develop. (Which is why I've been so eager to balance things out with Uniqlo.)

@PursuingProxemicExactitude Eeeps those prices. Racing back to Uniqlo:)

I'm fond of a bit of colour but it has to be the right colour and, for me, this is something Uniqlo - and to be fair, the high street in general - often gets wrong. I imagine the limited palette is one way JS has managed to keep the prices down.

I do like the shackets. V jaunty.

For colour on the high street, I like Esprit. Often have lots of bright terracotta, green and pink.

I think what arrived this morning can't have been returns - they must have had another delivery of stock or something like that?

@LaurieFairyCake I have just returned two pairs of jeans because they were very small compared to usual Uniqlo denim. It might be worth ordering two sizes to try

I wish they would get more stock of the jackets - I quite like the safari one!
