Not sure if I will fit in them. Last I check even large is too small for me when I shop in HK/China. Their seleive is too short

[pastarocket]

Their clothing is stylish. :thumbsup:

[winson604]

I went to Uniqlo for the first time last year in Bellevue I think it was, or maybe Portland I forget. Anyway, it was ok but with that said, having more options is never a bad thing.

[jlo mein]

For Uniqlo stores in North America is the sizing the same as the Japanese stores?

[Expresso]

No its larger. Still prefer Asia sizing.

:heckno:

please show me something from their site that is stylish

When I was in the UK, the Uniqlo UK shirts were a size bigger than the Uniqlo Philippines shirts I have.

I would assume the North America sizing would be a size bigger for the shirts versus the Asia sizing.

Uniqlo was cool about 10 years ago, they have gone really downhill now though

Also if you're taller than 5'8" forget wearing most of their tops.

If you have legs that are thicker than the average arm, forget about wearing their pants

That is unless they use different sizing in the west...

Perfect for my weak little body :awwyeah:

Just asked my dad to bring back some Uniqlo undershirts from Taiwan after realizing they don't ship to Canada.

If the sizes are similar to the asia market, then the S size is perfect for me! (for undershirts). For me, it's sorta one of those situations where you find one that works, so you buy multiples at once from the same brand.

When I buy clothing here from many brands, I have to go for XS. I have fairly narrow shoulders and short arms :[

now that I think about it I haven't stepped in one for few years
style or fit and finish? or both
quality can't be worse than H&M

Mostly style but that's just my opinion. Especially the t-shirts, they used to get really great licences and their shirts would have interesting unique art. Now they're just big logos like you'd find at wal mart or something.

[68style]

I was just in Tokyo and they had tonnes of custom shirts from various musical and graphic artists that were super unique and designed by the artists... maybe depends where you go?

[SkinnyPupp]

They have some series that are cool, but trust me it was REALLY cool 10 years ago. Especially the video game franchises and nostalgic movies. They used obscure references that only fans of the franchise would understand, but were still cool t-shirts overall, rather than childish video game or star wars shirts

[Teriyaki]

Agreed o the licensing stuff being kind of meh, the Disney series in particular continues to be extremely uninspired.

Just came back from NYC flagship store and they had quite some selection of MoMa shirts and they actually did have some nice designs this time for both guys and girls. In fact, le gf bought a shirt.

Not sure how I feel about this actually. Uniqlo was always fun to checkout when travelling around the world, and their prices made it always affordable to add key pieces to your wardrobe. Now that they're opening in Vancouver though, it loses a bit of that exclusivity. I'll still probably end up buying a tonne of shit there regardless though:awwyeah:

[ae101]

Heat tech jackets, love those as they are light and super warm

[SkinnyPupp]

Actually there's one thing that will always be good are the undershirts and underwear. Their heat tech stuff is great. I have a pair of joggers that are super warm and comfy, but don't fit quite right as expected. But they're joggers so whatevs LUL

[ImportPsycho]

Looks like home outfitter spot.
Good, that over priced rip off store needs to go

[twitchyzero]

I think it's been gone for some time

meanwhile all Target/Zellers space is still a ghost town 2 years later...I don't see those being reoccupied any time soon

[Raid3n]

in the fall it's a Halloween store lol

[donk.]

If you buy shit from H&M or Old Navy, this is the same garbage for you.

Visited in japan, 2/10

[ssjGoku69]

I feel their styles won't work well with my plump curves

[pastarocket]

That's a stylish jacket from Uniqlo HK. :troll:

Except Uniqlo stuff usually lasts after 10 washes. Can't say the same for H&M.

More like a 6/10

wow so much hate for uniqlo?

they're solid in my books for office work wear. jeans fit me pretty well too (thicc but skinny calves).

[Armind]

^ Never skip legs day.

Meh depends on what pieces you get and what your expectations are. I buy my fair share of designer items but I have no issues buying cheap ass $7 plain tshirts from H&M to wear under my dress shirts and such. No issues with the quality, fit etc for the price I pay.

[StylinRed]

because we waited and whined for ages about them coming to vancouver, and in typical vancouver fashion once we get something we're like "pfffft sucks"

Oh I completely agree, just that those 7 dollar shirts usually start falling apart after a year or so, whereas uniqlo stuff feels sturdier

[Durrann]

will probably be expensive

[dat_steve]

uniqlo heat tech shirts are a life saver during the colder months to wear under dress shirts and the airsm shirts are money during the summer.

[TOS'd]

Their collabs are pretty cool, right now there are some nice designs, picked up a bunch of t-shirts in Japan.

[cl811]

They opened way too late in Vancouver. Should have opened 3 years ago when it was exploding in Asia.

[Mr.Money]

is this like the time metro town opened a true religion jeans store and barely nobody wore that crap?

[twitchyzero]

don't think it's a coveted brand for fashionistas
it'll be competing with H&M
it's not triple five soul or ed hardy...

[nah]

There's no branding on their stuff except the sponsored tennis gear.

It's more like if Vancouver got a The Gap for the first time now in instead of the 90's

[zetazeta]

Pretty stoked for Uniqlo. They have some of the best prices (at least in the USA and Asia) for decent quality clothes that fit well. They also have some pretty neat collabs (Uniqlo UT and some of the past collabs with higher end designers were great). Quality is much better than H&M and other fast fashion brands.
