UNIQLO U 2023 Spring/Summer Collection

The Uniqlo U 2023 Spring/Summer collection will go on sale on February 17 by global apparel retailer UNIQLO. The new UNIQLO A Sense of Ease collection, whose theme is "A Sense of Ease," was designed in Paris by Artistic Director Christophe Lemaire and his UNIQLO R&D team. It focuses on clothes that make life easier and provides a modern, timeless modular wardrobe.

Layering pieces made of breathable, utilitarian outerwear and soft, matte cotton combine to create a comprehensive collection of versatile basics with proportions that are frequently out of the ordinary but are always carefully considered. Understated neutrals, rich blues and beiges, and bright pops of green, orange, yellow, purple, and pink make up a playful yet sophisticated color scheme.

Womenswear

Womenswear offers versatility; refined, seamless activewear is interchangeable between exercise and everyday life. Tailoring is soft and easy. A sheer shirt with patch pockets in matte-finish cotton is a fresh staple. The new jeans are slightly curved with a fitted leg to create a fresh silhouette.

Menswear

A complete range of versatile basics for a modern yet timeless look. Seersucker striped shirts and cotton shorts are cut wide for an easy summer silhouette. An oversized utility jacket is a new proportion for outerwear. The crew neck 3/4 sleeve T-shirt has been further perfected with a boxy fit. Parachute pants are utilitarian and effortless with adjustable drawstrings at the hem.

Accessories 

BLOCKTECH hats and jet caps, and a new bucket bag in two sizes marry form and function, while the beloved drawstring shoulder bag returns for another season.

Collection

The lineup includes 27 items for women, 23 items for men, and 7 items for accessories.
