5 reasons we're excited Uniqlo is coming to Canada

Uniqlo

Best wardrobe basics

If we could sum up this store in two words they would be "best basics." You'll be able to fill your closet with Uniqlo's affordable staples, like button-down shirts, blazers and dress pants. They'll never go out of style, and the price is right!

Ultra-Light Down puffer coats, vests and jackets

Chic, warm, lightweight and totally packable, Uniqlo's Ultra-Light Down line (featuring jackets, coats and vests) has become a global cult fave, selling out in stores worldwide.

Haute Heattech

Keep warm and look cool with Uniqlo's unique technical fabric Heattech. Designed to retain warmth, while absorbing moisture and minimizing odour, this smart knit comes in tops, bottoms and — our personal favourite — tights. Also, there's a summer equivalent called Airism, that keeps you cool and dry.

Cashmere, cashmere, cashmere

Affordable and totally cozy, Uniqlo's cashmere range has something for everyone. From cute cardis and nautical stripes to scarves and sweaters of all shapes and sizes, owning a little bit of luxe has never been easier.

Cool collaborations

French designer, model, and fashion muse Ines de la Fressange lends her playful Parisian style to this charming and chic (ongoing) collaboration with Uniqlo. From cotton sundresses and Oxford tunics, to flirty skirts and oversized hats, playing dress up has never been more fun.
