The Sartorialist

I was just describing Uniqlo in Japan as sort of like the Japanese GAP. Gap is also in Japan, but Uniqlo is cheaper. It’s not as easy to wear Uniqlo and look good over there. Or maybe it’s just me.

I have a friend who swears by Uniqlo. I’ve never been there either, but she made me curious.

I love Uniqlo, they are like H&M of Japan, cheap yet stylish and always have something new.
I haven’t been to one for years, I wonder how it looks like now…

LOVE her shoes. she can totally pull off the heavy (sort of irish-dancer-y, yeah?) black shoes and the light white dress. i think it’s her height & slender frame– it looks effortless yet sort of badass instead of obvious or dissonant.

Uniqlo rules, and I love that she paired the breezy dress with those Scottish highland lace-ups. It adds just the right touch of tough.

as far as i know there is only one uniqlo in the US and its in nyc in soho. i still have a backpack i bought at one in tokyo 6 years ago.

I was looking at a black dress similar to this by DKNY. I love the flowy, lightness about it. Plus it can be paired fine with heels and flats.

There is something about the wide sleeves that I find disconcerting.

Like Ian Hylton in the next post, she is a true sartorialist. Someone who has always been ahead of the fashion curve, whose daily style I have always looked forward to admiring all the years I have known her. JA

A comfy looking dress.On the other hand I could imagine something like this worn at the dentist´s office.

Beautiful summer dress. Very simplistic but elegant. I would only switch up the heels for something more simplistic, but keep it in the same tone.

Uniqlo is a great store, you should go the more often!
I love her look!

I don’t like the shoes, or at least, I don’t like them here, in a fresh Spring outfit, the rest is just lovely and charming.

I’m obsessed with those shoes. They look like Irish dancing shoes, but with heels. How fabulous? Does anyone know where I could find such a thing?

Yeah, I’ve got to be honest – I’m still not liking the “bag” style dresses and tops that we’re all supposed to be wearing. That said, I do love the combination of the dress and the shoes. Without the shoes I would definitely say “No!” to the dress, but this way the dress kind of showcases the shoes and vice versa – good contrast.

I love Uniqlo for its basic and agree that Gap is totally over priced in Japan!

If you happen to pop by Japan, I recommend checking out the special edition tshirts too. Some designs have a bit of Japanese pop x manga culture. Will def make good souvenirs.

Also a good place to fine good quality simple pieces is Muji. Though cut can be a problem as they are catered to more a more oriental body type.

This seems nice and fresh, but the shoes bother me.

i don’t know exactly what it is but this woman looks fantastic! she looks relaxed and i love the simplicity. the nice dress, the hair hanging down by her face and the shoes. yummie!

I think the shoes are perfect!! Whenever I see shoes that seem out of sorts with an outfit it makes me love the shoes even more!!! It makes me think of a time when shoes were completely utilitarian and expensive, you may have had several items of clothing but one rarely two pairs of shoes.
