I'll have to check those out! I could use another pair of skinnies and if they don't quite work, at that price I won't feel bad. Heck I might buy a pair specifically for wearing as 'play clothes' - the jeans I wear for rock climbing and to our metal shop are getting a little old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-1762226 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 21:40:47 +0000 CocoLion 1762226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Uniqlo too. &nbsp;It's my go-to place for work clothes. &nbsp;Whenever you see a jean with "Kaihara"denim on it, buy it! &nbsp;This is the place where designer jeans brands buy their denim. &nbsp;Great stuff.</p> <p>As for fit -- I have plenty of jeans from them and am an hourglass. &nbsp;I love their low cost in house hemming service. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-1762160 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 17:40:12 +0000 rachylou 1762160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dream of one-stop shopping... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-1762100 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 13:48:44 +0000 Anonymous 1762100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my new Uniglo Heat Tech leggings underneath my dress pants today. I love the way they feel and fit. That was $ well spent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1762071 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 12:35:01 +0000 Jaime 1762071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE Uniqlo!! Everything that I have from there is of great quality-esp for the price. I have tees from 3 years ago that still look new.&nbsp; I read an article once about how they are able to have great quality for such a low price-its because they are one of the biggest retailers in the world and they buy in such bulk that the price comes way down for them. They could cut corners and give an "Old Navy" quality product for sure, and increase their bottom line-I love that they do not and are committed to quality. I only wish they had more stores in the US. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761973 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 00:55:21 +0000 JamC 1761973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uniqlo has a large presence in my closet too! I believe in finding brands that fit and buying from them. It makes it easier to shop when you only look at the brands that get you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761794 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 14:27:47 +0000 Isabel 1761794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many years ago, when I worked, I found myself with a closet full of Ann Taylor clothes. &nbsp;I think it is a huge relief when you find a brand that ticks all the boxes ! &nbsp;Congrats !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761790 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 14:21:44 +0000 LaPed 1761790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale, that's so funny, I'm also 5'4" but I find Uniqlo's basic tops (supima cotton, heattech, merino sweaters) all fit me <b>really</b> well and true to size -- I seem to be smack dab between and XS and S and choose according to how slim a cut I want. I have had to send a couple things back due to too-short sleeves, but this seems to apply more to woven shirts and jackets than to tees and sweaters.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree that their pants are almost always a miss, and seem to be cut for a very narrow-hipped low-rise rectangle, but I <b>love</b> the heattech tights and leggings. They layer so well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761769 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 13:46:21 +0000 Anonymous 1761769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>I broke down and ordered two Heat Tech tops. I'll let you know how they work on me, a petite. I'm concerned about the length, as petite tops are sometimes too short for me, but we'll see. I plan to wear them under some ponchos I ordered (which I hope to get soon; still haven't received shipment confirmation from Nordstrom Rack). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761613 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 23:46:37 +0000 Style Fan 1761613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great stuff.&nbsp; I like Uniqlo but I don't know where the closet store is.&nbsp; Their simplicity appeals to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761554 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 19:00:05 +0000 Greyscale 1761554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sterling</b>, I'm 5'4" but all torso.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> and <b>Helen</b>, I also have no need for all the heat tech gear and so on. I'm surprised that they fill our San Francisco store with all the warmest clothes -- it never gets very cold here! I also don't have a use for their cool summer underlayers. So their main line of stuff is rarely as useful for me.</p> <p><b>Traci</b>, I love the blouse! I have a moratorium on black silk blouses - I own four already (my two favorites are from Uniqlo's Ines de la Fressange line in fact). But if I had room for another, that would go on my list.</p> <p><b>Turmeric</b>, the wool coat is really more of a sweater, a lightly-boiled wool knit. And I have to say, it's a very boxy cut, widest in the middle, which isn't the most flattering on me. But anyway, it hits me just below the knee, though I have very short legs.</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, yes, it reminds me of 90s Gap more than current Gap: cotton and wool basics in a wide range of colors.</p> <p><b>RobinF</b>,<b></b>&nbsp;I think there's a good chance they'll fit you. I've never bought pants there, but I have short arms and their sleeves are often the right length on me, which is almost unprecedented. And like I said, the torsos are often too short to me. Hope you find something that fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761546 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 18:14:29 +0000 Anonymous 1761546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>RobinF:</b> I just bought some Heat Tech leggings, and they fit me perfectly, even though I'm petite (5'2"). I haven't ordered any of the tops or tees yet, though, and am wondering how the fit is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761542 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 17:58:28 +0000 RobinF 1761542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say go for it! I've never tried any of their stuff, never even heard of it until I joined YLF, but I really want to. Maybe in the new year I'll take a look and try some items. It would be nice for me if they run short as I am a petite and it doesn't look like any of their styles come in petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761521 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 17:22:21 +0000 Traci 1761521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to enable, but this blouse screams your name to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761498 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 15:11:44 +0000 Lisa 1761498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great capsule you have here and I agree, Uniqlo is sort of like a better quality Gap. &nbsp;Their clothes are certainly more timeless in their looks and styles, at least right now. &nbsp;The hardest thing is sometimes they fit as I find them a tad narrow, particularly for the shoulder lines. &nbsp;I really enjoy their quality though, and I am a huge fan of their Heattech thermals, especially the scoopneck which layers so well with v neck sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761465 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 12:36:28 +0000 Turmeric 1761465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd buy a lot more Uniqlo if the fit worked better for me, too. &nbsp;Wearing one of their basic long-sleeved tees right now. &nbsp;I love the look of that sleeveless tee and the wool coat! &nbsp;(How long is that coat?) &nbsp;Nice capsule collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761458 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 12:13:22 +0000 Helen11 1761458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked in Uniqlo on my last trip to the big city. I also thought everything was much too warm for my lifestyle, but I can see how others love shopping there.<br /> Greyscale, you have yourself a great capsule there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761442 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 10:41:37 +0000 Anonymous 1761442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was glad that you mentioned the "normal fit is off for you." &nbsp;My very limited experience is that the fit is off for me as well. &nbsp;May I ask how tall you are?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761424 Mon, 19 Dec 2016 04:31:33 +0000 Greyscale 1761424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, I wore mine today for the first time (our weather finally got cold) and I love it!

All the heat tech stuff is not really necessary for my climate. But I have recently become a convert to their tees and their knit tops. I love that they are cotton. So hard to find! And good prices too. Our store currently has your denim skirt in burgundy. I would be all over it except that they only have it in tiny sizes, and I already find that their sizing runs small. I hope you get to wear it soon. Your capsule looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761377 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 23:28:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1761377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish this would happen to me! &nbsp;It would make my wardrobe so much easier to curate!</p> <p>Last year, Loft and BR were reliable "go-tos" for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761361 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 21:30:58 +0000 Sal 1761361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is great when it works like this. &nbsp;These pieces feel very authentic to your style.</p> <p>I have had the year buying a lot from Witchery. &nbsp;Last year was Country Road - I am not quite sure what the US equivalent is, maybe Banana Republic or J Crew? &nbsp;This year Witchery fits have been spot on for me - I have added a top, a dress, a jacket, pants, two pairs of shoes and a hat... &nbsp;They have all been total workhorses, basic but still with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761357 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 21:13:41 +0000 approprio 1761357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You say this like it's a bad thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761356 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 20:52:29 +0000 Tanya 1761356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look like fabulous pieces that will work for you for a long time.&nbsp; They really suit your style.</p> <p>I don't think I could ever shop in one place only, but occasionally I find my self getting lots of pieces from a single place.&nbsp; This usually happens when they match my style aesthetics and have excellent sales at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761351 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 20:13:58 +0000 Greyscale 1761351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci, that's a great point. Some years they have nothing I like. </p> <p>And actually, it's almost always the collabs that really work for me. The normal Uniqlo fit is a little off for me - shirts are too short in the torso. And I never like their pants. </p> <p>I'm curious to see what next year will bring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-has-taken-over-my-wardrobe#post-1761333 Sun, 18 Dec 2016 19:25:24 +0000 El Cee 1761333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous capsule!

Basics is an area that is sorely deficient in my wardrobe. Uniqlo has a reputation for great quality for the price, and I would love to go get myself a few pieces to use as base layers under my interesting pieces. </p> <p>I see nothing wrong with having a lot of your stuff come from one store. It tells me you know your style, and you found a place that works for it. </p>
