The unbearable lightness of the Ultra Light Down
A must for anyone travelling to colder climes this year is the new Uniqlo Ultra Light Down jacket collection, the compact and portable utility wear of its LifeWear range.
Practical and fashionable touches include variable necks for layering under coats or jackets, trimmer silhouettes, and new seamless technology that virtually eliminates stitching.
Uniqlo is making compact new items available in a range of colours and designs to broaden coordination alternatives. It has augmented such popular basics as black and navy with sage for its vests and jackets, as well as red, green, and other new hues for its coats.
Women's items incorporate buttons that allow them to quickly switch from crew neck to V-neck collars. The brand has also adopted a deeper neck design for men's compact vests in response to consumer feedback so the items can be layered under coats.
Uniqlo also employs its proprietary crimping process to the surfaces of stitched areas with the new Seamless Down Parka range. The process minimises the number of seams while enhancing wind-proofing, and the line-up is available in sporty through urban styles and hues.
The Ultra Light Down line has been updated in response to customer feedback while retaining basic features like durability and water resistance. Touches that underscore meticulous attention to detail in the new range include enhancing comfort by lowering the collar heights in women's vests and jackets to prevent makeup smudges and modifying waist panels for sleeker bodylines.
