I know it is not “ best quality “ so will not likely be super durable. I have looked for better quality jackets in similar pattern/ blue- black combinations and there are some from time to time , but never just right. Either heavy wools, or short tweedy ones( and I am keeping my old AT tweed for this) or too much white in the plaids, or something. So I decided not to keep waiting for the HEWI , but consider it a trial run/ gateway jacket - especially since it is lightweight and can wear in summer. So if I ever find something very similar in a better fabric, and this combo is still working for me, I’ll be ready. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142842 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 14:57:56 +0000 Liesbeth 2142842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often like the IDLF lookbooks but haven't purchased anything from that line yet. Somehow the clothes seem wrong on me: too wrinkly or voluminous... I own quite a bit of Uniqlo but mostly sleeker, simpler styles. Glad these items are working for you though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142838 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 14:25:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2142838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been admiring the Uniqlo IDLF Fall collection.&nbsp; I noticed this fabric, they have dresses in it too.&nbsp; It is interesting to me as I have midi/maxi skirt from 99/00 in the same vein, roll/twist and knot.&nbsp; Mine is cream and is nearly identical with a small floral repetitive print.&nbsp; It is polyester and has worn like iron, and always was machine washed.&nbsp; I was thinking of letting it go as I have not worn it in approx. 6 years (I know, I struggle letting things go :)), and was quite intrigued to see such a similar piece in a trendy collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142837 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 14:06:01 +0000 Helena 2142837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces, but your blazer is my favourite of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142835 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 13:42:52 +0000 rachylou 2142835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s really true, isn’t it? Re lightweight clothing and texture. Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142831 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 13:10:23 +0000 unfrumped 2142831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou, I do like some prep elements-loved my Weejuns but will have to find new sizing for my fussy feet. </p> <p>The “navy“ of the solid top is the perfect not- dark navy to give enough contrast with black, so that at least was fun to see this color exists. </p> <p>When trying these on I was also reminded of Runcarla’s post on texture in the wardrobe - and how hard it is to have much texture in lighter- weight clothing.<br /> Usually my outfits have so much smooth fabric combinations, compared to the effect of this twist fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142784 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 01:18:51 +0000 rachylou 2142784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Charming pieces! I feel true preps shop Uniqlo now. It has that je ne sais quoi and is value for money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142751 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 21:09:52 +0000 kellygirl 2142751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t purchased anything from that line but I like Uniqlo basics—their lightweight down, layering undershirts and plain dresses. I’ve seen the twisted fabrics there before—in skirts. I’d imagine in a top it would add some interesting texture! Can’t speak as to fabric but most of their stuff does seem breathable so would probably be a good choice especially for layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uniqlo-idlf-item-review#post-2142749 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 20:28:38 +0000 unfrumped 2142749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a fan of Ines de la Fressange style even though she can’t serve as an“ body type” model for me! I guess that is kinda lemming- like but mainly I think it is that she is frequently photographed in pants , jackets and flats, which is my “ outside world “ style.<br /> Anyway I was oblivious to both Uniqlo and to their IDLF collaborations until recently. I first visited Uniqlo on a trip to Boston a couple years ago and got a couple of their basic items. </p> <p>I am trying the Uniqlo- IDLF “ twist pleat tops” in the navy print and solid navy. The print is subtle due to both the actual small print and the way the “ twist” disrupts it, and a change from solids and the twist adds interesting texture. It mixes well with quite a lot of things including my plaid blazer below- I swear that plaid pattern - mixes with everything!<br /> The solid navy Is a great “ medium “ depth navy ( the print has a dark navy background ) but I’m not sure I need both , as fabric is a type of polyester. and I have no idea how it will launder and wear. The print fabric is very flat ( meaning not shiny), so almost seems like a rayon, whilst the navy has a bit of sheen.<br /> I got one in 2 sizes, and the XS looks good from the front but is more fitted through the bust than I think I will wear, and doesn’t work as well with pants, so I would go with S for more relaxed look.<br /> Also side note, the tops arrived twisted and tied in knots, which is how fabric care instructions recommend storing them! </p> <p>Several IDLF items, mostly tops, sold out just a few days after launching, it seems.<br /> I was interested in a navy tattersall ruffle neck top but it was gone in a flash. Just as well, now that I have done more “ color palette research “. </p>
