Hi everyone!

Welcome to part 1/2 of the not sponsored & honest summer '24 UNIQLO review (the second part featuring men's fashion coming next week!)

Disclaimer: I have collaborated with UNIQLO in the past on short form content but this video is not a collaboration.

In typical Jen fashion, I'm going to discuss the fabric, construction and fit (try-on clips included!)

Would you shop at UNIQLO after watching this? Let me know what other brands you would like to see me review in the comments!

I think that the quality of Uniqlo is the reason why more designers are willing to work with them. They know they are not risking their reputation. I have a Merimekko dress from a couple of years ago that I LOVE. And a black sweater that after 6 yrs is starting to show its wear. (And I have worn it a lot! ).

One of the things I appreciate most about Uniqlo is they post the actual garment dimensions of each piece. Most brands are so lazy in this regard and just post “typical” size charts or useless descriptions like “fits true to size”, which is infuriating when shopping online.

For anyone who'd be visiting Japan for the exchange rate, buy Uniqlo there!!! Make sure you convert to the correct sizing as Asian sizes are smaller than US / Canada. The prices there are much lower, some items are like half of those in the US / Canada. And I personally find the quality of the fabric and sewing is higher too.

Uniqlo changed their t-shirt fabric in the past four years: thr newer t-shirts I have purchased are cheaper fabric that collect lint like mad. My older Uniqlo tees are still super soft and luxe feeling, but starting to be dirty under the arms. Im hoping it's just the summer tees that have the cheaper materials and they will improve in winter...

I absolutely trust you so I personally know that your reviews are always unbiased and honest, but I am a little worried that some people might be upset you didn’t disclose that you’ve been sponsored by UNIQLO in the past (even though this video isn’t sponsored). I trust you though and I know UNIQLO is great so I would believe you regardless. Great video, I just don’t want people coming after you for not disclosing the past sponsorship!

I'd love to see a video about maintaining clothes to extend their longevity such as cleaning, storage, etc. which seems to be the natural next step after obtaining high quality expensive clothes

Their T-shirt’s are my favorite layering piece! $15 and not see through

As a short girlie, Uniqlo stands out because they offer length alterations for free at all their stores and online. So rare for a brand to do that

[sary]

We accidentally found Uniqlo at San Fran. We moved about three years ago to Houston. Texas has no Uniqlo stores, but they will open one this fall in Houston. I am so excited!

I love uniqulo for shirt dresses but it's incredibly hit and miss, and always overcrowded so really hard to focus on shopping for quality pieces. This video helped so much, I hope my next visit is more fruitful now and I feel a bit more confident with the information you've equipped us with 💙 tysm

I’ve been thinking of shopping at Uniqlo. This video will help me a lot what to buy during the summer.

I love Uniqlo but I have been disappointed that their men’s wear is often at a higher quality level than women’s. For example, their men’s wool coat last winter was 100% wool and not much more expensive than their women’s wool coat containing less than 50% wool. Their men’s linen is also better quality and was advertised as anti wrinkle when their women’s wasn’t (at least in my storefront). Many brands do this it’d be an interesting video topic!

[brirose]

This was my favourite video of yours so far Jen - thank you! It’s actually a store we have in Australia - yay! I loved how you suggested specific pieces, showed us what they looked like on, and reviewed their quality. So helpful. I quite like Uniqlo for basics, as you said, and find their quality decent and their prices reasonable 👍🏼

[Womanfromearth]

Edit: all good 👍 …

After following this channel, I’ve been buying clothes from Uniqlo, now please don’t tell me they are as bad as others. Fingers crossed.. going to watch the video now!

[ncha]

I barely discovered Uniqlo last year and I've been obsessed with them since. I absolutely love the quality and style of their clothes.

[dgmojojojo]

Thank you for reviewing the men's lineup as well, can't wait. My basics clothing and what not is mainly from Uniqlo and Muji 😅

[pandabugdiaries]

I'd love an in depth review of the bra tops! I've been tempted multiple times to give them a try but I'm not sure which one would be best!

[jzlmmqd]

I was just looking for a uniqlo video on your channel! Pls do more items 🙏This was vert helpful!

When Uniqlo finally came to US I was actually going to Japan and had watched a documentary on how the company started. I had lost a lot of weight but I still bought two graphic tees in the biggest size from their Ginza location in Tokyo. My the second time I bought from the brand was when I went to South Korea but I had thrift two Uniqlo army green Jackets because they felt so premium with the fleece pocket lining and the detachable hood that wore them back to the states. Last year I took my mom to Uniqlo for the first time and she loves the store. I'm actually a DD so what I do is I add a uni lined bra (fenty bra) for extra support when wearing the Airism bra tank or shirt and even have the bra because I hate sleeping in lined bras.

loved the video just wanted to add for folks afraid of buying dry clean inky fabrics. aside from a few considerations (like mixed fabrics or potential color bleed) you can wash all dry clean only clothes including silk!!
