How to do fall, the Uniqlo way—according to Donny Pangilinan

Timeless pieces, refreshed for sports, work, and weekend trips

Fall may not mean falling leaves in the Philippines, but it definitely brings cooler mornings, breezy nights, and the perfect excuse to refresh your wardrobe. Uniqlo’s fall/winter 2025 collection, launched at Gallio Events Hall in Parañaque, is all about “Revisiting Classic” which takes timeless pieces we already love and giving them a modern, versatile, more unisex twist.

What makes this lineup special is how naturally it fits into a Filipino lifestyle. Think about commuting through Manila traffic with lightweight jackets and breathable layers that can take you from the MRT to the office. For weekends, the same pieces are easy to bring along for a coffee run in Tagaytay or a cozy trip up north to Baguio or Benguet.

Donny Pangilinan fronted the JW Anderson collaboration and showed why the season’s straight jeans are the ultimate go-to. With their clean fit and classic cut, they’re sharp enough for work but relaxed enough for a casual hangout. It’s that mix of polish and comfort that makes them a true wardrobe hero. “The JW Anderson Straight Jeans is all about versatility,” he says. “I can wear this for work or just hanging out, thanks to its timeless design that never goes out of style.”

The rest of the collection proves that there’s something for everyone, as shown with the help of actors Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Solenn Heussaff alongside athlete Kianna Dy. Sport Utility Wear is designed for active days—perfect if you’re heading to the gym, playing basketball, or simply running errands under the sun with its UV protection and quick-dry fabrics. For those who prefer chic comfort, washable knitwear and sweaters make everyday dressing effortless. And for travel, whether it’s a weekend road trip or a flight abroad, Heattech and Pufftech pieces deliver warmth without the bulk, making them easy to pack, layer, and live in.

What ties the whole collection together is how Uniqlo plays with contrasts: masculine and feminine, sporty and tailored, practical and stylish. It’s everyday dressing that doesn’t just stay in your closet—it moves with you, wherever life takes you.

This season also brings back collabs like Uniqlo : C by Clare Waight Keller, Uniqlo U, and updated Peace For All charity tees, giving more ways to keep classics fresh.
