UNIQLO has officially launched its Uniqlo U Fall/Winter collection, designed in Paris by Co-Artistic Directors Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran. This season brings a refined yet playful approach to dressing. With a focus on layering, movement, and clean silhouettes, the collection pulses with gradient tones—rich chocolate browns, camels, and khakis—that feel right at home in nature-inspired wardrobes. The colour story alone offers a subtle nod to the great outdoors, setting the tone for a versatile, quietly stylish winter.
Perfectly timed with fashion’s current love affair with the Town & Country aesthetic, UNIQLO U delivers elevated essentials that play into the countryside chic trend dominating runways and street style alike. If you’re unfamiliar, Town & Country—highlighted by GQ USA’s recent coverage of “Old Money Style” and Marie Claire USA’s prediction of the “Preppy Countryside Trend” for 2025—leans on earthy palettes, Savile Row-inspired tailoring, and practical modern utility wear. Think bold tartans, tactile tweeds, and silhouettes made for weekend escapes or long walks in nature. UNIQLO U has it covered, from long wax-coated coats in Mocha Mousse to chunky cable knit cardigans and draped pleated trousers.
Utility wear is reimagined in this collection with silhouettes that are as functional as they are fashionable. Key highlights include the PUFFTECH Volume Parka, Non-Quilted Vest, Oversized Single-Breasted Coat, and Coating Long Coat—transeasonal outerwear pieces that work in changing climates and unexpected rain, thanks to smart details like built-in hoods and adaptable layering potential. Each item feels considered, making them ideal for city wear and countryside escapes alike.
Knitwear also plays a starring role in Fall/Winter 2024, with the Lambswool Knit Jacket and Lambswool Blend Zip-Up Jacket emerging as hero pieces. Both offer softness, warmth, and structure, designed to be worn either as mid-layers or standalone outerwear. These elevated basics are as luxurious as they are practical, aligning perfectly with the collection’s broader ethos of comfort, movement, and style. Add in countryside-ready trousers and oversized shirting, and you’ve got a capsule wardrobe ready for crisp mornings and long weekends away.
True to the Uniqlo U DNA, versatility comes first. The silhouette of the season has been created with a holistic lens—designed to inspire layering, mixing textures, and playing with proportions. Whether you’re leaning into the Preppy Countryside trend or simply after stylish staples that can go the distance, this collection strikes the perfect balance between function and fashion. With every piece crafted to stand alone or integrate seamlessly, UNIQLO U Fall/Winter 2024 is countryside chic—refined, wearable, and ready for wherever the season takes you.
