Why are UNIQLO's staples the new standard?

Oxford shirts, chinos, denim shirts, and sweatshirts. These items, which are UNIQLO's staples, are actually updated every year, including the smallest details. Not many people know about these changes, and fashion is fun even if you don't know what to expect. But knowing what's behind the clothes can be an aid to enjoying fashion more. We'll get to the bottom of why these new staples are good and why they feel good.

This is a very nice sweatshirt with a particular detailing that creates a very nice look.

SWEAT SHIRT

I am familiar with the phrase, "God is in the details," but I am even more strongly convinced that it is true when it comes to apparel, where details have a great impact on the image.

There is much to learn about the atmosphere created by the details in this sweatshirt.

The first thing they aimed for was a soft and fluffy texture. By changing the thread count of the fabric and making it thinner, the surface was made cleaner and flatter than conventional ones, in other words, a face suitable for a fashion item for going out, not for home wear.

The silhouette of the sleeves has been calculated. In response to the recent trend of emphasizing a relaxed feel, the length of the ribs was shortened and the width of the cuffs was widened. This gives the cuffs a roomy, relaxed look. Certainly, the silhouette around the ribs influences how the sweatshirt looks. However, I had no idea that it is made up of such a balance of rib length and cuffs.

This sweatshirt is the result of a lot of calculated details that make it "somehow very good. It's good to be able to introduce the reasons for this ambiguous goodness in this way. However, when you wear it, you can forget everything you have learned here. Just enjoy this sweatshirt for what it is.
