Your ultimate style guide for your autumn-winter trip to Japan

Look effortlessly stylish and warm with Uniqlo’s Heattech offerings

Planning a trip to Japan this autumn or winter? Whether you’re exploring Tokyo’s vibrant streets, taking in Nagano’s snowy peaks, or savoring the crisp air of the countryside, staying warm while looking stylish is essential. Thankfully, Uniqlo’s Heattech and outerwear make it effortless to layer up without compromising on style or comfort.

Japan’s autumn and winter seasons are undeniably magical, but they bring a sharp chill. November marks the start of colder weather, with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 14°C, and December only gets frostier. While the crisp air adds to Japan’s charm, being unprepared can quickly dampen the experience. Frozen toes and shivers? Not exactly what you signed up for.

Uniqlo’s Heattech and outerwear are your ultimate cold-weather companions. Lightweight, functional, and designed for layering, these pieces are crafted with high-performance fabric that generates and retains body heat. They’re the perfect foundation for staying warm and comfortable during your trip.

Uniqlo’s Heattech items come with labels to guide you in choosing the right piece based on the temperature. Here’s a quick breakdown.

Heattech (5°C to 20°C):
Ideal for mild cold, this ultra-thin base layer works seamlessly under your everyday outfits. Available in long-sleeve tops and tights, it provides warmth without bulk, making it perfect for those brisk autumn days.

Heattech Extra Warm (-5°C to 15°C):
When the temperatures dip further, this slightly thicker version steps in. With 100% cotton lining for added softness and insulation, it works well with light jackets, giving you warmth without unnecessary layers.
