Uniqlo: unique Japanese clothing from the USA
Uniqlo (Uniqlo) — a Japanese brand that became popular in America thanks to its very high quality and emphasized minimalism. These are good clothes that many people want to buy. Many models are made using 100% American cotton, which allows the clothes to retain bright colors and shape for a long time. Unfortunately, in Russia, prices for Uniqlo clothing are far from the lowest. But if you buy them in the USA, especially by taking advantage of discounts, you can get top-quality clothing that will last for years for just a couple thousand rubles.

The history of the Uniqlo brand
The first Japanese Uniqlo clothing appeared back in 1949, in the town of Ube in Yamaguchi Prefecture. It was a small men's fashion store called «Men's Shop OS». But the Uniqlo store in its modern form did not appear until the eighties. That was when these clothes began to be produced on a mass scale, and not just by the hands of one craftsman and a few apprentices. If in the 50s the Uniqlo catalog consisted of just a few pairs of pants and sweatshirts, necessarily black or dark blue, then by the 80s there were already dozens of models here, in a wide variety of colors (though still in muted shades).
In 1985, the first large Uniqlo clothing store opened in downtown Hiroshima — «Uniqlo Clothing Warehouse». That is literally how it was translated — «warehouse of unique clothing». High quality was combined with an affordable price, and the brand's design appealed greatly to the Japanese. Recognition came first in the country, and then abroad.
As once happened with Nike sneakers (which at the beginning borrowed everything from the Japanese Asics, or more precisely, Onitsuka Tiger), Americans really liked the Japanese brand. Soon, the company had more stores in the USA than in Japan itself. But Uniqlo did not reveal its production technology, and still sells only goods of its own manufacture. Because of this, the brand remains relatively small in the world of clothing, but it is highly respected by its fans.
Now the brand is most popular in the USA (200 stores), Japan (500 stores), the United Kingdom, South Korea (180 stores), and China. It is one of the most recognized clothing stores in the world. In 2010, the brand also came to Russia — opening its first store in Moscow. And in 2020, despite the pandemic, Uniqlo managed to sell more than $10 billion worth of goods for the first time in its history.
For several decades in a row, Uniqlo has been developing the uniform for the Japanese Olympic team. And the company's clothes are loved and constantly worn by such celebrities as Nicole Kidman, Orlando Bloom, Karl Lagerfeld, and Victoria Beckham.
Features of Uniqlo clothing
No unnecessary embellishments on the clothing (embroidery, ruffles, decorative buttons, rhinestones, sequins). In the Uniqlo clothing catalog — only stylish and simple models. Their beauty lies precisely in their лаконичности, the absence of unnecessary details. It is assumed that decorations and accessories to complement the clothing, if needed, will then be chosen by the buyer according to their own taste.
Only natural colors. The ones that can be found in nature — the colors of foliage, the sea, the sunset. It is believed that such colors will never lose their relevance and will always be pleasing to the eye.
No attachment to current «fashion». Every Uniqlo item should be relevant not only this season, but also in 50 years. Some models that are being sold now have been produced in their unchanged form since the 1950s (only the manufacturing technologies have changed).
Uniqlo treats its customers' money with care. Here, you are not forced to buy «additional» items. On the contrary, the company practices minimalism. And all the clothing is specially selected so that the items go well with each other, regardless of what you bought now and what you buy in two years. All new items will fit perfectly into existing outfits. You can visit the Uniqlo online store at any time and buy whatever you like, knowing that it definitely will not be unnecessary. And prices for children's outerwear, for example, start here at just from $20. Good warm jackets can be bought for $29.
The company is famous for its warm clothing. It has a special HeatTech technology for making thermal underwear, which makes it possible to provide high antibacterial properties, as well as guarantee moisture absorption and heat retention. In the USA, Uniqlo down jackets and jackets, lightweight yet warm, are very popular. They are in demand among mountaineers and travelers because of their compactness when folded. Also, outerwear for children is often bought on the official Uniqlo website. It is especially relevant in autumn and winter.
