How often have you left the house and realised that you've dressed completely inappropriately for the weather? Or arrived at a new destination on holiday and been over optimistic about how warm it is? Now Uniqlo has the perfect solution: a vending machine stocked with everything you might need.

Launching in 10 locations across America, the new Uniqlo To Go machines will stock mens and womens long-sleeved Heattech T-shirts and lightweight jackets in a variety of sizes and colours, for those occasions when you really wish you'd checked the weather before leaving the house.
