When it comes to problem solving, comfort and style, I’ve found Uniqlo to be one of the best high street brands around for a range of disabilities, plus their clever brand collaborations ensure an added touch of luxury at reasonable pricing. With this in mind I was keen to take a look at their 2nd and final collection with Christopher Lemaire, a former Hermes creative director who launched his own high-fashion label in 2011. Select pieces are now uploaded on their site and the full collection is set to hit Uniqlo.com late March 3rd, and Uniqlo stores from March 18th.
I’ve spotted a few pieces that I’ll certainly be checking out – an easy to wear V-neck tunic in knitted supima cotton (the white one could look good with my new Jigsaw pants) and an interesting lightweight cape, that while not totally waterproof does come with a detachable hood, and is available in neutral stylish colours. Also, noteworthy for men are the seersucker elasticated trousers that might be a useful casual, but smart alternative to jogging pants.
My finger will definitely be on the ‘buy’ button come March 3rd………..
