UNIQLO

Love the new improved, larger store. 5 floors of uniqlo — my favorite jackets. I find them very warm, practical, lightweight and comfortable.
They have a large clothing section too now, but the clothes on offer were very summery, while the weather outside was just 2degrees this evening. Not really conducive to buying sundresses in Liberty prints, no matter how lovely and colourful the prints are.
The ground floor cash register tends to have a very long line for billing. Just go up or down a flight of stairs for faster billing.

Having been closed for a bit for a huge refurbishment, the flagship Uniqlo on Oxford Street re-​opened last Friday. This was also the day their Liberty collaboration launched. While there were apparently queues at 8am, I popped along about 11 and was pleasantly surprised by the management of people. They had loads of staff on — though some seemed completely out-​of-​touch with what was happening around them — the tables, shelves, and rails were being constantly replenished. I found a pretty Liberty dress I liked, but my size wasn’t on the floor, and a helpful member of staff found me one from the stockroom.
The staff working the cash wrap area were almost entirely people for whom English wasn’t a first, or necessarily very strong, language. I have no problem with multi-​lingual folks, but on a big day which was bound to be busy it would’ve made checking out easier if at least one person at the registers had a firmer grasp on the language.
So. 1^st visit of the relaunched store all in I give a 4. We’ll see if it gets better or worse as the store wears in a bit.

One word: Colourful.
More words: They are a mixture of Gap, H&M and American Apparel in my view. A lot cheaper though. Their clothes have a good quality feel to it and some are quirky designs.
I mostly got underwear, sock and t-​shirts from here. No complaints.

What a curious company this is.
They sort of remind me of Gap. However, they are a lot cheaper.
They sort of remind me of Abercrombie & Fitch. However, a lot more bright lighting going on, and a hell of a lot cheaper.
So, if you have not been here before you probably get the picture of what they sell. Many different types of T-​shirts, shirts, underwear, socks, jackets, in various (yet not too outlandish) colours.
The staff here all seem friendly enough, but they seem to lack a lot of personality & the stores do seem a little bland and lacking individuality.
What I will say for them, is that the fabrics here do seem very soft. The cottons and mixes feel particularly nice. They will never win any prizes for high-​fashion nor innovative design but if you want good value for money understated clothing, this is a great place to come.

Uniqlo is not really my thing. Their clothes just do not fit my figure. I was intrigued, however, recently and went to an event organised in cooperation with the Stylist. Not only did it offer some discounts, drinks and nibbles but I discovered the men’s collection.
I just wanted another drink and discovered the downstairs men’s. When my boyfriend visited recently, I took him to Selfridges where we visited the men’s. Uniqlo had lovely shirts on offer for 14.90. He tried and we took one. The next day he asked me to visit another, bigger store so we went to the flagship on Oxford Street. Let’s make it short, we left with three shirts, two pullovers and several longsleeves. I guess my boyfriend now has a new favourite store.

propre, bien rangé, un large choix dans tous les coloris a des prix raisonable.

I love this brand. Great shop. Clean. Easy to navigate. Efficient check out.
I buy many basics here whenever I get the chance. I wanted to find a basic sweater for my boyfriend as he had just ruined one of his favorite sweaters. Just after Christmas and they had a great sale. 20£ for a great sweater.
Each time I’m in London I can’t help but to stop in and buy something. If only Madrid had a UNIQLO!

Love this place! I was looking for vnecks and they had quite the selection. I believe when converted, I paid about $ 9 each. I bought 5 but ALAS. I left them under the bed in a Parisian hotel and I didn’t bother calling about it (how convenient now that I remember 2 years later… those shirts might not even fit me). A must stop for affordable fashion, especially for basics.

Great basic fashions for women and men. A Japanese brand that’s like a Gap or American Apparel, but better. Jeans are comfy and their lycra underwear is the best. I picked up 2 pair of boy shorts for 9.90 pounds when I ran out while on vacation. I had to go back for more, because I liked them that much.
Plus — if you buy a pair of jeans they tailor them for free same day.

I used to be a Gap girl, now, it’s all about Uniqlo – for basics, at least. And these days, I wear a lot of basics, my day-​to-​day uniform being a t-​shirt/​jumper and jeans. My husband also appreciates their cheaper merino and cashmere-​mix jumpers, as a recent moth infestation took its toll on his rather extensive collection. I also appreciate the plethora of colors in most of their offerings. Lots of choice makes Kate H. a happy girl.

While not necessarily full of the most stylish or trendy items (ahem, shiny puffer coats), this is a great place for cold weather basics: thermal leggings, tops, etc, and basic cashmere jumpers that don’t cost a fortune.

Great place to get some cheap clothing, go for either muted stylishly crafted silhouettes or loud and proud logo tshirts, the best UT tshirts being barbie and harry potter or neon geneis evangelion. They always have some sort of disney tie in which is nice to see.

This is one of my favorite stores that is not in the US. Well… not on the West Coast of the U.S.
I love their basic wardrobe pieces and everything is just so comfortable. I’m used to the Japanese sizing (since it’s a Japanese company) so finding sizes wasn’t too hard.
So it’s probably not a surprise to all my friends who know about my love for Japanese culture/​fashion that this was really the only clothing store I went to in London to do some serious shopping.
I picked up a fabulous fleece jacket since London was FREEZING to this California girl (the beginning of a cold snap!) and I needed something to keep me warm as the bf and I were traveling über light. Throw in some leggings and I was done!
It was easy, the fashion was great, and the staff (though scarce) was friendly.

Excellent for all your basic wardrobe pieces — solid colored t-​shirts, leggings (jeggings), camisoles.
Sizes are weird.
Staff to assist you on the floor is non-​existent.

Awesome prices, this store is lacking a bit in selection though, and a lot of the items sell so quickly you’ll only have one size to choose from (and Murphy’s Law will make sure it’s not yours, oh, cruel world). Tons of jeans (up to 32″) and stockings too for the ladies.
A note: The Mickey Mouse shit is weird.
Great selection for guys, when we were in they had two polo tops for £19.99, Welshie got one in brown and one in navy.
The staff is friendly.

Since the start of last Summer, I’m not sure another shop has taken more money out of me. Not unless you count Ann Summers for all my sexy nurses outfits… Which I don’t. This for me is where I buy 95% of my clothes. So, to get the Orme look… er… look no further.
The prices are super competitive. You can pick up some sweet Japanese cut denim for about £25. T-​shirts are about 10 squirrels and shirts are about 15. It’s also really top quality material. The shirt I am currently wearing is soft and an absolute joy to wear. When any of my Uniqlo stuff is in need of a wash, I’m always a little sad because it means I won’t be able to have it at my disposal for at least 24 hours. The wait is worth it though.
The staff at the Oxford street store are helpful and pleasant and for me it’s important because if you are male and it’s busy, you have more chance of breaking down, adopting the foetal position and crying rather than actually finding the item you went in to get. The staff managed to help me avoid this embarrassing moment… again.
In need of some new threads. The Orme say «Yes!»

It’s a great big shop, filled with inexpensive slightly trendy colourful clothes. It’s slightly more grown up than H&M or Top Shop, selling standard v-​neck jumpers, cardis, tees and more. You can’t beat the price on jeans… a mere £24.99. They’re practically disposable. Most of the time, low prices come at a cost to quality, but so far I have seen no evidence of this. My boyfriend has a v-​neck jumper which has been in the washing machine time and time again and it still looks brand new.
The greatest thing about this shop is, when you find something that fits, you can buy it in 20 different colours and you still haven’t even grazed the sides of your pocketbook.
I heart Uniqlo!

Here’s the link for that cool clock
Just adjust it to your timezone and it’s a great conversation starter.

Seems to be the American Apparel of London. I noticed lots of affordable tees, sweatshirts, etc. However, the real winner at Uniqlo… the jeans! I admit to being a bit of a brand snob… especially when it comes to my jeans. I don’t hesitate to drop close to $ 200 on jeans that I’ll wear over and over again. But now I feel silly for spending so much money on all the jeans in my closet because I scored 2 super cute pairs of skinny jeans for a total of € 39. Oh yes, you know you’re jealous…

It’s amazing what a new promotional campaign can do for you brand. Uniqlo has been around on Oxford Street for ages but no one really used to know about it. I personally referred to it as «that store with the cashmere sweaters». It was a nice store but lacked inspiration and a concept.
Now bring in a new look, the hit Dazed & Confused photographer Matt Irwin, artist collarborations, and lots of new London stores and you have got yourself a brand new youthful brand. You gotta hand it to them. They did well.
Personally, I like Uniqlo. They have many good quality items that are sure to last a long time. Apart from some obvious exceptions I must admit I find the women’s clothing a bit bland, but the men’s section is very good. They have a great selection of cotton and flannel fitted shirts, macs, gloves, and cheap jeans. Unlike many high-​street stores, Uniqlo always has the decency to offer some very good quality materials at an affordable price. This makes them a very refreshing high-​street option which has won over my approval.

For basics, it’s hard to beat Japanese chain Uniqlo. They sell very reasonably priced t-​shirts, knitwear and jeans in a reasonable selection of sizes.
In winter they sell some beautiful cashmere items in a myriad of colours, and I have been coveting a down jacket from there for some time.
There is always a sale rack which can throw up some bargains and their selection of t-​shirts is quite astounding.
I have only 2 minor quibbles about this shop, rather than this particular store — they don’t get enough larger sizes in stock and when will a branch open in Glasgow?
