You Can Now Shop The New Uniqlo:C Collection And These Are The Pieces We’re Adding To Our Baskets

Over the last few years, a bumper crop of designer collabs made the high street a hot spot. One of the best was Uniqlo: C, Clare Waight Keller's collection for the retailer known for its superlative thermals, sleek design principles and timeless approach to what it calls 'Lifewear'. The first collection sold like hot cakes - with the quilted coats and faux-leather half-moon bags flying off the shelves in September - as did the second and third drop - she's now back with a new collection, which will be available to shop from today.

What's more, following the success of these collaborations, in September 2024, Uniqlo announced the appointment of Waight Keller as its new creative director covering both mainline collections and Uniqlo: C. ‘With every [career] move I make, I want to be learning and be challenged. This was a huge learning opportunity,’ she told Grazia. ‘When I saw the ambition of Uniqlo and where they see things growing in terms of lifting up the main line to become an even more perfected edit of timeless classics, I thought that could be really exciting for me.’

As with the first collections, Uniqlo: C's spring/summer '25 collection puts a premium on pieces that are as chic as they are well-constructed. ‘What’s interesting is that what Uniqlo customers really appreciate is that they can come back to a T-shirt that they love three years later and [it’s] still there, it’s even a little bit better,’ she says. ‘So there’s real consistency and that’s almost the holy grail. To have something that is so good and so timeless that you can sell it year after year after year. Very few companies have that.’

As well as having a dedicated menswear section, unisex pieces have been mixed into the womenswear offering - and will likely cause a stir on shop floors. As company internal data reveals, a great number of female customers shop in the menswear section, so another challenge will be to make that more inclusive and to get men shopping womenswear, too. ‘Uniqlo is so open-minded about that. And I think that’s the future, hence the big size ranges and the different proportions of things.’ In short, she’ll soon be dressing everyone, including the Duchess of Sussex. ‘I’ve sent her a few things,’ she says.

What will Uniqlo: C look like?

Uniqlo: C's latest collection has a wearable colour palette of grey, khaki, navy and black (and pops of red) that feels refreshingly paire-back this time of year. The collection's trench coats have always been very popular - and this season they've been reworked into an equally classic style that will be your catch-all coat. There's also tailored bermuda shorts with matching jackets, single-breasted blazers and a skirt co-ord that has already redefined summer office wear.
