I have no idea if another commenter has already mentioned this or if you will see it on a video this old and... I want to address your comment on the shoulder line of the Ines de la Fressange knitwear. I am a knitwear designer and that shoulder line is a common design choice in high end knitwear as part of the fully fashioned patterning - it is included to help distribute the weight of the knitted material away from the shoulder line where it creates the most tension through the shoulder line and arm scythe of the garment, helping to both increase the comfort of the wearer and the lifetime of the garment. It is NOT a manufacturing mistake, that can easily be seen by the decreasing of the stitches along that line (this is the 'fully fashioned' patterning I mentioned earlier. It is actually an indication of design investment and craftsmanship in the garment, not a mistake.

I think a lot of people need to remember the difference in target audience for Uniqlo - they are a Japanese brand that targets mainly the East Asian audience (famous for their heat tech, which is a MUST in the winter in northern Japan and Korea). So naturally, they lean more towards Asian fashion, which tends to be conservative and loose-fitted, with neutral and pastel colors. Their clothes are supposed to be used for layering, which is why many clothes are thin and stretchy for easy changing. Their main goal is comfort, not style. Also, Westerners should take note that Asian fashion brands tend to run small and short. So double check the length of your pants and, I cannot stress this enough, *ladies always triple-check the bust size!* Even if your shoulders and chest fit a size small shirt, your boobs may not. I learned this the hard way haha.

First of all I love your video's! I've been a fashion professional for over 20 years (designer/ stylist) and I have one little remark. De striped sweater was (as far as I could see) knitted in a 'fully fashioned' way. It's a more expensive way of knitting sweaters and because of this it's completely normal that the shoulder seams are placed more to the back. It's actually a sign of quality. If the sweater is not fully fashioned, I rest my case! Keep up the good work!

I love Uniqlo largely because their lengths are more appropriate for my 5'2" frame. Asian brands tend to fit petite people better. And, having worked in a Japanese office for 3 years, they make clothes that are mostly conservatively shaped, appropriate and utilitarian for everyday work environments. The merino v-neck cardigan is the best thing they sell lol.

I’m a 5’1” girl and this is definitely true. I’ve tried both US and Japan stores. The sizing system is definitely different between the two, but I can still find my size and everything I’ve found has a flattering fit. I think the skinny jeans is the biggest selling point for me. Or at least the ones I buy from Japan. I’ve only bought tailored pants in Japan since the tailoring service is faster there.

I also think that their clothes hold up pretty well. I have a lightweight cardigan from Uniqlo that I bought almost ten years ago when I lived in Japan. I wear it a lot and I have washed it many times, but it still has its original shape. Also the colour did not wash out much. I have never bought any Jeans or outer wear from them though, and I probably wouldn't do that.

Lovely reviews! Very detailed. I actually never bought anything other than the heat-tech line and undies from Uniqlo, but after watching this video I went to get some. I'm a petite Asian (5"1) with a long torso. From watching the reviews I had a feeling that the Uniqlo designs would fit me really well, and they do. (I don't know why, but the ones I bought do not have the shoulder line issue) Just like some other comments said, Asians do generally have longer torsos, especially people from East Asia. My observation is that the further south it gets, the longer the legs. (I notice that girls have shorter torsos and longer legs every time I travel to Southeastern Asia, and I get super jealous.) And as for the boxy design, I think it is a very Japanese thing. When I think of Japanese style, I think of comfy, boxy designs, although of course the more formal the style, the more fitted it gets. I am a pear, very skinny upper body, with absolutely no breasts at all (truth to be told, I don't think any bras from any Western brand could fit me. I sometimes have the feeling that Westerners just do not comprehend how tiny people's breasts can be.) Given my narrow shoulders and flat breast, I could look quite disproportional if I wear something fitted on the top, even if I wear it with my tightest jeans. So, when I buy tops, I look for those that are boxy, that have room around my upper body to increase volume on the top. If I want to show off my waist, I just tuck them in. I do wear fitted tops though, but when I do I always need to add scarves to create volume, or I would look disproportional again. I'm getting very off-topic, but I just wanted to note that people of different races have very different body styles, more different than many designers realize (but of course there are huge individual differences too). So, if you really like someone's style, but that person is of a different ethnicity than you, then you need to pay attention to a lot of details to successfully transform that style on to you. It's more than finding a similar cut and the right size.

I’m a male consumer so my experience with Uniqlo is vastly different but I for one like that the tops are cut with straighter, boxier lines. I think this reflects what I perceive as Uniqlo’s attempt to make straightforward articles of clothing. A fun take on basics rather than making statement garments. Overall prefer their clothing to other brands.

I would start by shopping at designer outlets, and try shopping in the off-season! I have a bunch of wonderful knit sweaters from Ralph Lauren that I bought for $30 each last year during the summer! Also, double-check *where* the product was made (avoid "made in China" tags). Also, take very good care of your designer things. Don't spray perfumes on delicate fabrics; there can be harsh chemicals that will degrade the quality over time. Take care of leather products by washing and apply leather moisturizer and water repellent on shoes and handbags. If you want my personal suggestions, I usually buy from LOFT (they have a very fresh, clean look), Calvin Klein (they have the same A-line dress every year just with a different pattern and it fits like a glove), and White House Black Market (they have a lot of timeless looks and you can mix and match pieces from any season or year; I have stuff from this year that matches with stuff from 2 years ago). These brands all have casual wear as well, but for stuff like jeans and outerwear, stick with the brands that were made famous for such things like Levi's or Patagonia (Patagonia will even offer to repair certain gear and clothing pieces, which will save you from having to buy new stuff!)

I was thinking it would be very interesting to see a video about Massimo Dutti, since it's a higher price point but still fast fashion/part of the inditex giant. Could you break down the price and explain to us if you see any jump in quality or if it's just higher profit margin without any improvement on quality of production/fabrics?

If you ever decide to buy anything from Uniqlo again, I suggest getting a shirt from their Heattech line. They are my life savers in winter. Specifically I suggest getting a long sleeve ballet neck shirt. The sleeves on these tops are purposefully slightly shorter than full length, this combined with the wide neckline allows you to wear them as an invisible warm layer under all your winter sweaters. Another favorite of mine are the drape wide lounge pants. When I am at home I wear those 90% of the time. I have also gifted them to my two sisters who are obsessed with them too now. We call ourselves the sisterhood of the comfortable pants. :P

I think the reason why it didn‘t fit you quite well is that Uniqlo is a Japanese brand. It was designed for Asian women which generally a bit shorter and thinner with smaller frames. Although you are quite slim, you are tall and your frame structure is unlike the Asian’s. That’s why everythings seems short on you. However, women in Asia like to go for something bigger and looser instead fitted clothings. So the tops sold in Uniqlo are long enough for your torso and a bit boxy in style. I’m a big-framed curvy women (US size 8)living in Hong Kong. It is always a struggle for me to shop here. I can only buy clothes in some foreign brands.

You wouldn’t say to stop wearing cotton altogether because most of it is produced by underpaid workers in substandard conditions, would you? Just like how you can support ethical brands, you can also support ethical farmers. (Shop local, do your research!)And making value judgments based on what people buy (asides from relying on hasty conclusions) is bound to have lots of collateral damage. Many indigenous communities rely on leather and fur for clothing , for example-I certainly hope you wouldn’t say they are all bad people for doing so.

For instance, 80£ is for me a higher price for a sweater, but not true in this case as you found it very cheap for cashmere. So what "should" it have been priced? And what about other fabrics and techniques (beads, embroidery, etc)? And when are you just paying for the name and not quality?

Thank you very much for sharing this honest review. I live in France and I’m really happy that finally Uniqlo opens shop in this country. When you shop Uniqlo, you have to expect Japanese influence style, which I love. But for most european people the fitting is not always flattering. You also have to know that their light weight jacket are used for layering, that is why they are so fine. But when you looking for good pieces on a budget, I think Uniqlo is reliable. They have so many options : coton, merino (a must), heatech and airism collection. And they keep their form after washing machine... For now, it’s the only brand with affordable price and correct quality that I know. Do you know better options ? What about Esprit, Rodier or Tommy Hilfiger ?

This video made me "personally" feel better knowing that although I"m 5'1" (and it's frustrating finding garments that fit properly) I'm glad I'm not the only one with these issues. Honestly, for years I thought it was me and that I simply needed to find a "petite" size garment (for a better fit) but that didn't always solve the issues with the garment's that I've bought in the past. Thanks for being so informative and moving forward I won't take clothing that doesn't fit me correctly so personally...it is what it is. Thanks so much Justine!

@@vilstas boy, do I understand! I'm 5'2", retired and 60 years old. Menopause has taken a toll around my waist line etc and I have short legs. I have a very casual lifestyle now and wear jeans most days but finding a pair of jeans that fits WELL is nearly impossible so whenever I buy a pair I have to consider the additional cost of alterations. Plus, some stores do not have good quality alterations. I would recommend that if possible you find some one locally that can do good quality alterations and advise you on what to look for in a piece of clothing BEFORE you purchase it. Not all items of clothing can be altered or are worth the additional price of alterations.

It was so annoying because I like to pair a cardigan with white blouse or top and it looked bad after a while.

Hello Justine! I just want to say that I loved this review, Thank you for doing it. I have been wearing Uniqlo for nearly 10 years so I am very familiar with this brand. I lived in Japan for 15 years and Uniqlo is the brand for simple tastes and reliable clothing at a reasonable price, which I am glad that you mentioned in your review as well. I did, however, notice that when I wear Uniqlo that I can never trust in one size (S, M, L) for all of my clothing. I’m an hour-glass shape (as i have found through your tutorial videos on body types) so it turns out that Uniqlo is not as simple for me as it is for the more typically square or apple shaped Japanese people. as for the tops and bottoms issue that you mentioned, I feel that i might know why that is. Most Japanese people tend to have long torsos and shorter arms & legs. this is why your tops are long but the sleeves are short and the shirts are often box cut. The bottoms are almost always cropped because Japanese would otherwise have to fold them. And the jeans are usually stretchy, most likely so that even though you might have purchased the wrong size for yourself that it would still be somewhat wearable. I hope that you decide to do more reviews of brands. i do love your channel!

I live in Japan and love Uniqlo for basic staple pieces, but definitely somethings just don't work for me. I like their cotton tees and denim the most as well as undergarments. However even though I like their jeans a lot, depending on the cut, some of them are simply way to short for me on the leg. Some are perfect, but if they are an ankle length style, it's halfway up my shin haha. I'm an hourglass with a 26in waist but big bust and bum lol, so definitely some of the blouses are just a no for me (their button up white business shirts though fit well). For the down jackets, specifically the ultra light ones that you were looking at, Japanese people usually style them under coats and jackets so that's why they are usually shorter in size so they don't peep out from underneath. They also tuck their shirts into their pants or skirts a lot so it doesn't matter if the shirt is longer than the down jacket. Edit: though if they are marketing overseas, they should definitely adjust their sizing and styles for different markets lol

Japanese have a bit different proportions. Legs and torso are closer to 1:1, they are yes - shorter. And japanese fashion is not about defining vaist that much, especially casual wear. It depends on preferences too much. Also, striped sweater is special collection, so I don't think it represents their general pattern. Down jacket is rather to wear it underneath outerwear, or to wear it for warm weather. Japan's climate is not about raining or snowing in winter.

The fit problems you’re having with uniqlo is because you have a European body and they’re designed for more Asian body types.

I'm so glad finally someone agrees with me on all the boxy clothing that seems to be a trend at the moment. It's horrible that I'm unable to find anything tailored. I went shopping last week and at shop number 16 or so one of the ladies that worked there asked if she could be of any assistence. I asked if they had any tailored tops or blouses (anything not boxy). She literally asked me "why? Do you have special plans or a party?". I could not believe what she was asking. Her answer in the end: no, because oversized and boxy clothing is a trend. Ugh. I had to go to a second hand shop to find tailored tops/blouses. It's unbelievable, especially when the majority of the women don't have a straight or apple figure. #end rant #sorry

I'd also like a video about C&A. I think their quality is surprisingly good considering the low price. The material is a bit thicker and less synthetic than at other cheap stores like H&M.

It is so useful. I am a big fan of UNIQLO because I feel their fabric is the best out of similar price range on the market.

That was really useful. We don’t have Uniqlo in Liverpool but I’ve been tempted to buy on-line as Ines refers to them often. I was surprised to hear that the quality was’t as good as I expected and was glad to hear your honest review.

I love how you are teaching me stuff about brands that I would never have known about if I hadn't watched your video. I don't have the passion or time to really spend looking up fashion but I feel like i don't need much time to watch your video.

I have a Uniqlo knit sweater and this one is really boxy as well. But it doesn’t bother me, because I usually wear skinn jeans and it’s okay if the top is wider, then. I also bought it from the German shop. I really liked the quality (including the seams). I also bought a silk dress in Japan from Uniqlo and despite having a liiiiittle to short arms for me it’s pretty much flawless. For me, I feel like I get decent quality for a good price. Definitely better than anything I owned by H&M and the likes.

Great review, honest as always. I'm one of the ones who asked for Uniqlo, so thank you!!! I'm shorter-waisted than you, so perhaps that's why their pants fit me so well.

Hi Justine, thank you for such useful videos, I'm enjoying watching them every Sunday. Would you please create some videos about the brands you find producing good quality clothes? Like where to find good cashmere, good wool, in different prices segments.

If you want good cashmere at a fairly affordable price, check out Pure Collection; they're a British company that makes high quality cashmere sweaters and other classic clothing such as 100% wool pencil skirts and silk blouses. I've sworn by their products for the last 10 years. Their cashmere sweaters are dense, not flimsy like other brands. No, I don't work for them or get any kind of reward for mentioning them...they just make great clothes!

@@eileensilverstein5819 Pure Collection have great products, but their prices have gone through the roof! I mean, they are not Brora or other Scottish brands (i.e. made in the UK) of cashmere, are they. I've known PC for a decade and it is astonishing how they raised the prices.. sadly, my salary has not risen with them...

I love your videos! No gimmick, just a really knowledgeable women! I really like this type of video. The most helpful is all the advice you give on how clothing should fit. If I could suggest something, it would be to wear an item of clothing that fits you right to visibly compare with the item that does not. This would give a direct visual to how proper clothing should look on a real human body. Again love your videos!!
