It took me a long time to realize the discount practices at Gap, Banana Republic, and the like. I appreciate knowing that I won't necessarilybe kicking myself by spending full price for items at Uniqlo (as I have already purchased a few things).<br />Many thanks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716882 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 18:15:20 +0000 Greyscale 1716882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, that's too funny! We really did read each other's minds.</p> <p>Re: discounting - not really, no. They rarely do site-wide discounts, but they do occasional specials on current-season popular things, eg, sweaters for $20 instead of $30 for a few days at the beginning of the season. Items tend to sell out over the course of the season and get marked down a lot when it's down to a few odd sizes and colors. They clear their stock quite efficiently. Some styles are re-stocked the next year but often with slight changes to the design.&nbsp;</p> <p>Unlike the Gap, I try to buy things when I first notice them at Uniqlo. Waiting often means I'll miss it in my size, and if it shows up for $10 less the next week, well, the prices are so low that I don't mind having paid more. It's not like the Gap where you really shouldn't ever pay full price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716576 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 22:34:13 +0000 Cococat 1716576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a heattech fan too, and I love their knitwear for quality and colour choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716527 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 20:02:08 +0000 anchie 1716527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of basic merino sweaters and cashmere turtlenecks, but did not like anything this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716525 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 19:57:22 +0000 Bonnie 1716525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went into Uniqlo when I was in NYC this summer and didn't find anything but DH got 4 linen shirts for a great price that he really likes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716500 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 19:13:58 +0000 rachylou 1716500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love their Heattech stuff. I think Uniqlo is the new LL Bean for preppies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716494 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:49:27 +0000 BrieN 1716494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any experience with the rain gear? They said the stretch block tech jacket is waterproof but I'm suspicious. I'd love to know if anyone has tried this item, or anything Block Tech.</p> <p>Eta: do they do discounting like Gap and BR and others? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716484 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:23:20 +0000 Angie 1716484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the Merino wool knitwear. My clients LOVE those pieces. They can run small though.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716479 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:18:09 +0000 Diana 1716479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the others said. Good quality basics, fun designer collars. I think they skew a bit sporty. I'll add that I find the sizing inconsistent so I prefer to try in stow if I can. Although they do have useful garment measurements on their site for most items, which I really appreciate and wish all stores would do - they're a bit hard to find, but basically if you click "size chart" from an individual product page it will give you garment measurements for that item. </p> <p>I haven't tried their jeans. But I like the cashmere. It's good quality for the price. I mean, it's not a Brora or anything but I'd say the quality is comparable to, say, Ann Taylor or BR cashmere that costs twice as much.</p> <p>I also quite like their fine merino sweaters and I think they are a screaming good deal at 20-30 bucks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716478 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:17:53 +0000 approprio 1716478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite of the large retailers, hands down. Quality across the board is consistently excellent for the price, although their range can be limiting.</p> <p>I quite like their denim, although I find the fit rather frustrating. They can be low in the rise and loose around the waist. If you want to show any more than a half tuck with a good belt, best go elsewhere.&nbsp;</p> <p>Their cashmere is pretty good but prone to pilling on the finer gages. Their thicker knits tend to hold up better.</p> <p>(dressed head to toe in the 'qlo right now)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716476 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 18:14:24 +0000 Muffin 1716476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some sizes seem to be cut very small but they do post measurements for each size which is helpful. I like the Heat tech undershirts and always use under my sweaters in the winter. I'd like to try the cashmere sweaters and down jackets this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716465 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:53:39 +0000 Anne 1716465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks ladies! &nbsp;I think I will place an order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716463 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:49:06 +0000 MTBGirl 1716463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you've gotten good input already. I'll just add that I have a few items and find the quality good as well as the price. I also have the jacket Angie shows above and a few drapey tees. Their fit seems right for me, just in the larger of my two sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716460 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:47:25 +0000 Anne 1716460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any experience with the quality of their cashmere or fit on jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716458 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:44:40 +0000 Angie 1716458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. Greyscale and I wrote to you at the same time and said <b>the same thing.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716457 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:43:44 +0000 Angie 1716457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. "Japanese Gap" is how I see them. </p> <p>Basic, good quality, very casual, and LOTS of colour options. Some of the items are quite quirky, and they have fun designer collaborations too. Uniqlo is always worth a look. One of my yoga jackets comes from Uniqlo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716455 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:41:56 +0000 Greyscale 1716455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a Japanese brand that reminds me of the Gap in the 90s: good cotton basics (and more). The quality tends to be very good for the price.&nbsp;We have a big store here, so it's become one of my main sources of tees and sweaters. Their fit isn't quite right for me, though, so I buy less than I might otherwise (which is probably good, or else I'd end up with a closet of basics and nothing else).&nbsp;Their down puffer jackets and vests are really popular -- lightweight and very useful. </p> <p>Oh, and their designer collaborations are often excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-3#post-1716450 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 17:32:04 +0000 Anne 1716450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was in NYC this week (I'm a Kansas girl), and I kept seeing everyone walking around with Uniqlo shopping bags. &nbsp;I had never heard of it. &nbsp;My friend and I found a store, but we didn't have long to check it out. &nbsp;Any experience with the brand? </p>
