There's certainly no shortage of spring and summer collaborations out there. It's actually kind of intimating, especially when you consider all of the hours you'll have to spend hunting down the most stylish ones. Then comes the chore, or pleasure depending on your point of view, of having to flip through a jam-packed lookbook looking for something that suits your style. Or you can just head to UNIQLO. Because UNIQLO collaborations are the cream of the crop.
The affordable retailer has some of the most in-demand collaborations around. There's the new edition of UNIQLO x JW Anderson. The 2024 Spring/Summer collection contains everyday pieces honoring mid-century designs of the past while showcasing the artists living and working in London today. From a light cotton jacket to short-sleeve sweaters to linen-blend blouses and flared skirts, there's lots to love. The collection will be available online and in select stores April 18.
Inès de la Fressange is the epitome of chic and now's your last chance to snag one of her truly timeless pieces. After 10 years together, the model/designer and UNIQLO are going their separate ways. Fortunately, they're blessing us with one last collection, "bringing the effortless style of France to the world." Choose from easy separates designed to be worn together or sported solo.
Next we're staying in France to take in the UNIQLO x Comptoir des Cotonniers 2024 Spring/Summer collection. It's full of contemporary, sophisticated essentials, making the collaboration an ideal way to add some French flair to your warm weather wardrobe. Our favorites? The linen-blend tapered pants, the olive shorts suit and the bold blue shirtdress.
And the hits just keep on coming. Artistic Director Christophe Lemaire and his Paris team take everyday clothing up several notches by relying on innovative materials and contemporary silhouettes. There's something very neutral about the offering, which, trust us, is a compliment. Lightweight layers abound, from a boxy tailored jacket to a UV protection-boasting long-sleeve T-shirt to a utility vest. These are the pieces you'll come back to year after year.
Last, but by no means least, is Clare Waight Keller's UNIQLO : C Spring/Summer 2024 edition. Designed to be worn any day of the week, there's a subtle elegance. You can see it in the Pleated Camisole Printed Dress, the V-Neck Sweater Vest, the Crepe Jersey Narrow Skirt and the Cotton Blend Drawstring Jacket for starters.
The best thing about all of these UNIQLO collaborations? It's definitely the prices. You can actually afford to buy these collections in full. Which makes dressing for spring and summer a breeze.
