5 Cute And Colourful Pieces From Uniqlo’s Dreamy New Designer Collab

With summer just around the corner, we all could use a little more whimsy in our lives. Good news if you’ve been looking for a bold wardrobe update: Uniqlo’s latest designer collab delivers all the retro patterns and bold colours we’ve been craving.

The retailer just launched a new collection with Italian designer Francesco Risso—the former creative director at Marni—that blends the clashing prints and dreamy silhouettes the fashion house is known for without the luxury price tag. Here are five standout pieces our team is adding to cart.

Bow Tie Dress Short Sleeve, $60

With its midi length and oversized bow detail, this frock is equal parts effortless and dressy. It’s the perfect piece for a sunset picnic in the park or a summer wedding reception.

Flare Long Skirt, $60

A great skirt is the backbone of a summer wardrobe. The flared drape creates beautiful movement, while the graphic pattern can be worn all year.

Silk Printed Scarf, $40

Every collection needs a statement accessory. Wear this 100-percent silk scarf tied around your neck, around the straps of your favourite handbag or woven through your belt loops for an instant touch of timeless elegance.

Bow Tie Sleeveless Blouse, $40

The blouse version of the collection's signature bow detail is playful and perfectly unfussy. Tucked into wide-leg jeans, trousers or a slip skirt, it's a perfect addition to your office attire.

Relaxed Dress Short Sleeve, $60

She’s flowy, she’s comfortable and she’s bold. From the classic puff sleeves to the blooming pattern, this is the type of dress you'll reach for on repeat.
