Sorry, but we’re hoarding these jackets
Uniqlo just made outerwear so good, you’ll want one in every color
There’s just something about the start of the colder season that makes us reach for outerwear like it’s second nature. Whether it’s braving the overzealous office aircon or planning outfits for the upcoming “ber” months, the right jacket or coat instantly makes everything feel pulled together. And when it comes in easy, goes-with-everything shades of gray, black, brown, and navy? Consider us hooked.
Global apparel retailer Uniqlo has officially announced the launch of “Modernity in Motion,” the latest collection from its special line, Uniqlo : C. Designed by Creative Director Clare Waight Keller, this new drop is redefining seasonal wardrobes with a seamless blend of elegance, ease, and performance.
Clare Waight Keller said: “This collection embodies the spirit of movement and function in wardrobe essentials. I focused on reflecting technical principles in modern silhouettes. This season’s new innovation is the incorporation of Pufftech–a cutting edge technology that allows for incredible performance of warmth in an ultra light weight jacket with a completely seam free finish. Creatively, it has allowed me to design a truly minimalist look, combining both volume and lightness in a modern hoodie jacket with all the functionality that Uniqlo excels in. For womenswear, the collection also explores tailoring in the softest of modern technical tweeds to create effortless clothing mixed with seasonal favourites in Heattech and cashmere, expressed through a jewel tone palette. This collection exemplifies the unique timeless style of Uniqlo : C.”
While the collection brings in soft tailoring and jewel tones for women, what we can’t get over are the unisex outerwear pieces designed in classic gray, black, brown, and navy that feel like instant staples. They’re sleek enough for the office (yes, even those chilly air-conditioned ones), yet casual enough to throw over jeans and sneakers for weekend errands or long-haul flights.
The magic lies in their versatility. Jackets and blazers in technical fabrics like Pufftech and Blocktech are not only warm and lightweight but also sharp-looking enough to elevate an everyday look. Picture a clean-cut navy blazer layered over your work uniform, or a lightweight gray jacket tossed on for coffee runs—it just works.
