Uniglo

[Gettingbysomehow]

Why is Uniglo so popular, they are some of the most boring clothes I've ever seen.
I need colour excitement.

Uniqlo is all about wearable, comfortable basics. They're good foundation pieces for capsule wardrobes.

Heat tech shirts are great cold weather layers that last. I've got a couple that are 10 years old. The t shirts are excellent quality. The pants, same. Their jeans have the best fit for me. My youngest loves their lightweight down jackets and they last a few winters.

The one thing I don't care for from them is their cashmere sweaters. They're scratchy compared to any other cashmere I've had.

I like the Heatgen thermal tops but otherwise I pretty much agree. I have had some nice things via the charity shop but they have been collab pieces.

I can't really criticise as I'm currently wearing Llama catoflage (camo with cats) joggers and an acid pink jumper. Just curious what people think 😁I can see what you mean about basics though. I suppose it would be OK with some colour added.

I have their navy wide leg cords from last year. They're a brilliant foil for wearing orange or pink.

They're good for basics and sometimes their cuts can be more contemporary than many other stores. Their collaboration ranges are always worth a look. The current JW Anderson Collab has some interesting cropped oxford shirts.

The merino crew necks are the best.

I wear mostly designer but I have the merino in several colours and wear them often.

Cashmere gloves, scarves and hats are nice and make good Xmas presents.

Cashmere T-shirts are also nice, but I agree the rest of their cashmere is not the best.

Uniqlo are not boring, they just provide key items / wardrobe staples, that it can be difficult to find elsewhere, at the price / quality. I have the heatech, jumpers, bra tops and items I've bought for DH are also well received and he is tough on his clothing.

My all black wardrobe would set yours off nicely. I do wear pops of navy and blue. 😁

I agree that the Uniqlo merino sweaters are nice.

I admit to having a knockoff Oodie with flying cats on it to wear around my old cold place. My neighbor judges it.

If you work outdoors, thin warm layers are necessary; I have a long sleeved top in burnt orange and a fleece polo neck in jewel green. Their pyjamas are 100% cotton (nice and thick) and come in grown-up styles (ie classic check), not hearts, cartoon animals and I Luv Sleeping slogans.

They do decent basics, they're not supposed to be exciting.

It's meant to be boring. It is alright for basics. Reminds me a bit of how Gap used to be

They do basics and do them well. Excellent thermals, jackets and coats, jumpers and trousers. I am not a fan of their jeans and dresses but loads to choose from usually.

Excellent basics and heattech is good too. My dcs wore lots of uniqlo as both had a very small waist.

I agree that their biggest downfall is their sludgy colours.

I have a dress, some T-shirts and a merino jumper from them and they are excellent, but I wish they would introduce more colours into their range, and trousers with longer leg lengths.

As a jewel winter most of their colours just don't suit me.

I’ve never looked at their stuff before. Just went on their website and I’m finding it very faffy. Is it just me?

Love uniqlo- have some great gym wear from there and some casual tops I get compliments on. I used to love their skinny jegging trousers in black but don't wear them as much now. Also have some knit dresses that I got a compliment on yesterday at work! They are great for staples and good quality.

Uniqlo do normcore well, it's kind of their USP.

Well one person’s “boring” is another person’s “classy/classic/neutral”. Just like one person’s “fun and exciting” is another person’s “loud and tacky”…🤷🏼‍♀️
I think they do good quality, well priced basics that are great for adding to. (Plus their fit works really well for my very tall, skinny teen sons).

Agree on the colours but that's half the high street. They make colours that any season can wear therefore they become no definable colour. There's a few finds in store but so hard to shop online.

I was in yesterday and have to say the quality of the JW Anderson cropped shirt was excellent.

This came this week

The off white stripe is more of a beigey colour, but I am pleased with them.

I have to say I thought similarly to you.
I find the website totally uninspiring. I ordered & sent back lots of heat tech variants, as I felt like a shrink-wrapped sausage dressed in them. But then I found several items I really liked. The down trench coat in beige ( bought the blue as well in the sales), a powder soft down jacket for dog walking, a fleece heat tech t shirt & the fleece polo necks in the sales. Plus baker jeans ( barrel legs in a sturdy denim). I also follow some Instagram accounts that feature Uniqlo & make it look glamorous ( which the website really doesn't).
