Uniqlo’s Second Collection With Clare Waight Keller Is Available To Shop Now

Last year, 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 - and now she's back with a second drop for spring 2024, which is available to shop as of this morning.

As with the first season, Uniqlo: C's spring collection puts a premium on pieces that are as chic as they are well-constructed - and effortless to wear. 'I wanted to explore the concept of movement through lightness,' Keller said in the press release. 'Working with ultra-light fabrications, I found a new perspective of proportions. Longer volumes play against cropped silhouettes. Fluidity and freshness were key elements of the spirit. I think that spring represents a time of transition where the seasons change, and our wardrobes need the same flexibility. I love the mix between tailored and relaxed styles. The feeling is effortlessly elegant with a youthful attitude that captures the lightness and ease of summertime.'

What Will Uniqlo: C Look Like?

Uniqlo: C's latest collection has a breezy colour palette that feels right for spring, with vibrant yet wearable shades including poppy red, blush pink, aqua blue and army green, which can be mix-and-matched together. Last season's trench coat was very popular - and has been reworked this season into an equally classic style that will be your catch-all coat when temperatures finally improve. There's also utility jackets and a chic tailored blazer, not to mention relaxed knitwear, cropped tees, pleated dresses and stand-out accessories, including a long-brimmed baseball cap that we predict will do record sales and a puffy shoulder bag that maybe, just maybe, will rival the brand's viral half-moon bag.

When Can I Buy Uniqlo: C?

Uniqlo: C's spring collection drops this morning, while the summer collection will be available from April.

How Much Does Uniqlo: C Cost?

As with all of the designer collaborations at Uniqlo, prices are pretty much on the same level as the high street shop's regular collections, with entry-point cropped tees at £14.90, handbags at £24.90, trousers from £39.90, dresses from £34.90 and outerwear from £49.90.

A good trench coat is such an important wardrobe staple - and this one will go the distance. I’ve paired it with this cute jumper - I love the contrast pop of colour at the bottom - and a new version of the viral bag we know and love.

If you’re on the hunt for a trench coat, just buy this one. That’s honestly all I have to say- it’s as close to perfect as you’ll find. P.S. The bag is back! And I have no doubt it will be as popular as ever. It’s a great size, excellent shape and, much like the rest of the collection, it’s stylish without feeling too try-hard.

This utility jacket couldn't be more perfect for spring, when you definitely need an over-layer but don't want to overheat on your commute. The colour is just as eye-catching as it looks on the website, while the belt means you can easily cinch your waist.

I loved the fit of this blazer, which was relaxed yet sharp. While I'd be happy to wear it with the matching trousers, I'd also style it with baggy jeans, a denim maxi skirt or over slip dresses in summer. For versatility points alone, it gets a 10.

I love this cotton-blend drawstring jacket, which comes in three neutral shades - olive, beige and dark grey - but would recommend getting the size up from your usual if you want a relaxed fit.

I'm really loving the silhouette of this khaki jacket. It's so flattering and would really add something special to any simple outfit. I could totally see myself pairing it with a mini skirt, thigh-high boots and some gold accessories.

Red is the colour of the season and this cardi is an easy way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe. Perfect on its own or layered under a blazer or leather jacket for a pop of colour.

This green ribbed cardigan is the perfect transitional piece for spring. Lightweight and comfortable, I loved how easy it was to throw on and style! The knit adds a bit of texture to my outfit and the shape of the cardi is oh-so-flattering.

I tried the black and cream versions of the collection's sweater vest and loved both. It's perfect at nailing that cool schoolgirl vibe.

Jumpers are my go-to, and this one is just perfect. It's the right thickness, can be worn alone or layered, and those stripes just give it a little extra something.

Another tee/knitted vest combo – you can tell I’m loving Uniqlo’s range of colours for these wardrobe staples! The red boxy tee adds a bright pop of colour to an all-black outfit. It’s also the most comfortable T-shirt I’ve ever tried on!

These skirts are a masterclass from CWK in knowing what women want to wear. They’re so easy, they suit every body shape and size and you can wear them with everything from oversized knits to T-shirts come spring. Also, This is the perfect blazer - as with most of Clare Waight Keller’s creations, you can’t necessarily explain it but it just works. The fit is great, it’s flattering and chic and it feels like a welcome antidote to the exaggerated, oversized silhouettes we’ve come to expect from blazers of late. You really could wear it with anything and feel instantly put-together.

I’m wearing the collection's signature black boxy tee, styled with the cream knit vest. I accessorised with the soon-to-be cult leather bag – which you can wear two ways: slip it on your shoulder for a Y2K vibe or wear it crossbody for on-the-go ease. The checked hat is the perfect finishing touch - a dash of print in a monochrome outfit.
