Charms available for the first time, and items that express the KAWS worldview
The T-shirts and sweatshirts in this collection have playful graphics featuring COMPANION and the new characters. KAWS’ distinctive “XX” motif is expressed with subtle detailing and embroidery. Available in both adult and kids’ sizes, the collection can be enjoyed by people of all ages. In addition, for the first time in collaboration with KAWS, the collection includes plush charms that further embody the concept “We are better together.” The charms allow the wearer to take the KAWS UNIVERSE with them wherever they go.
Commenting on the collection, KAWS said: “I’m excited to launch my next collection with UNIQLO, featuring new characters inspired by universal symbols like the Earth, Moon, and Sun—things we all live under and share—celebrating what brings us together.”

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of the 2026 Fall/Winter UNIQLO : C, the special line from renowned British fashion designer Clare Waight Keller. Created on the theme of “Precision of Softness,” this latest collection reimagines everyday essentials through refined proportions, tactile textures, and precise layering, bringing an urban sensibility to familiar pieces. Denim, wool, cashmere and corduroy are expressed through generous yet controlled volumes, while rich bordeaux and brown are balanced with charcoal and softer touches of lemon, blush pink and green, bringing subtle contrasts throughout the collection.
Clare Waight Keller said: “I think there is a real desire now for clothes that bring comfort and ease without losing their sense of character. For this collection, I wanted to give that softness greater definition, through proportion, texture and the way each piece moves on the body. Everything is very considered, from the warmth and tactile quality of the new fluffy cashmere to the unexpected lightness and fluidity of corduroy. It is about creating a sense of refinement you can feel, with clothes that have a strong point of view yet remain completely natural to wear.”
A new cashmere series conceived by Clare Waight Keller introduces long-pile fluffy knits that enhance the natural warmth and softness of the fiber. Exceptionally soft against the skin, their textured surface gives the pieces an immediate sense of refinement. Shallow V-neck styles, crew neck cardigans and turtleneck vests are presented in soft, muted shades of pink, lemon, oatmeal, charcoal grey and cream. Corduroy trousers made from a newly developed fabric create a light, fluid drape and are completed with a premium leather belt finished with a metal tip. Vibrant new shades of HEATTECH Cashmere Blend add color to layered Fall/Winter styles.
Who says loungewear has to be boring? Responding to the global shift toward versatile, comfort-first clothing that works at home and anywhere else, UNIQLO redefines the concept of daily essentials with its new 2026 Fall/Winter Lounge & Underwear Collection.
This season, the UNIQLO Lounge & Underwear collection gets a complete refresh to meet today’s lifestyle of the modern woman, empowering her to embrace each day with confidence, comfort, and style. With a multitude of ways to mix and match, each piece is thoughtfully designed to move seamlessly from indoors to outdoors, whether you’re working from home, running quick errands, or winding down.
The Homewear Evolution
The new collection acknowledges that innerwear is no longer worn only behind closed doors. The daily soft essentials bring an effortless light fit that follows every movement with two distinct silhouettes. First is the playful, vibrant energy of Effortless Charm pieces, where every detail comes together to deliver lasting comfort every day to bring out your beauty.
The concept comes alive in comfortable, versatile pieces that encourage the joy of mixing and matching colors and patterns, featuring camisoles, tank tops, cotton bras and shorts, pajamas, and cardigans that effortlessly transition from lounging at home to everyday dressing.
The other half of the collection features Minimalist Classics that bring together timeless style that features the softness you feel the moment it touches your skin. Clean shapes in neutral tones accentuate the classic style and functionality that can be seen in staple UNIQLO items, such as the AIRism Seamless Shorts, Wireless Bra 3D Hold, Washable Knit Bra Top, Washable Knit Sweater, Washable Knit Ribbed Pants, and Satin Pajamas.
Style Meets Substance in a Seamless Transition
Each piece in the refreshed UNIQLO Lounge & Underwear collection is thoughtfully designed to serve as a versatile foundation for everyday styling. Whether layered under structured separates or worn as standalone pieces, the collection balances comfort with elevated design. From delicate lace accents and neutral palettes, each piece is crafted with signature materials such as soft modal, cotton, and AIRism; every piece feels gentle on the skin. Also highlighted are the functionality with breathable, quick-drying properties, to go with the fit, thanks to stretchy, form-fitting construction that stays in place throughout the day.

For over 20 years, UNIQLO’s Bra Top has been shaped by a simple yet deeply considered idea: that clothing should support women, not just in how they look, but in how they live.
Created with women in mind, the Bra Top was made for women of all kinds: those constantly on the move, those balancing multiple roles, and those who simply want to feel at ease in what they wear. By bringing together a bra and a top into one seamless piece, UNIQLO introduced a quieter, more intuitive way of dressing, one that allows women to move through their day with greater ease.
Over time, this thoughtful simplicity has become something women return to instinctively. The built-in cup structure provides steady, reliable support while maintaining a natural shape. Subtle in feel yet essential in effect, it allows women to carry themselves with quiet confidence. It is this sense of effortlessness, of not having to think twice; that has made the Bra Top a constant across different stages of life.
As days shift from one moment to another, the Bra Top adapts in kind. Designed with all-around support that moves with the body, it meets women where they are, whether navigating long, active days or simply slowing down. It is less about structure alone and more about creating a sense of ease that feels personal and lived in.
For over twenty years, the Bra Top has continued to evolve alongside the women who wear it. Today, it reflects a wide spectrum of styles, from essential everyday pieces to more refined, fashion-forward silhouettes, allowing women to choose what feels most like themselves.
Thoughtful sizing ensures that more women can experience that same balance of comfort and confidence, reinforcing the idea that it was never meant for just a few, but for many.
From the breathable lightness of AIRism Bra Tops to styles suited for more polished occasions, each piece carries forward the same intention set more than two decades ago: to make dressing feel simpler, more natural, and ultimately more supportive of real life.
This philosophy finds a meaningful setting at UNIQLO SM Mall of Asia as it celebrates the second anniversary of its redefined space—a place shaped by movement, connection, and everyday experiences. As one of the country’s most dynamic destinations, it reflects the very lives the Bra Top was designed for. Within this space, the piece becomes more than just an item of clothing, it becomes something women can rely on wherever the day takes them.
In celebration of this 20-year journey, customers are invited to visit the Bra Top display at UNIQLO SM Mall of Asia from May 9 to June 30, 2026 to rediscover how the Bra Top has evolved over time.
Guided by UNIQLO’s LifeWear philosophy, the Bra Top reflects clothing designed with empathy, proving that when something is thoughtfully made for women, it becomes not just something they wear, but something they can truly depend on.
Life moves quickly, and finding convenient ways to shop for everyday essentials has become part of modern living. Whether in-store or online, UNIQLO continues to make LifeWear more accessible so customers can have quality, comfortable and practical pieces whenever.
Extending the LifeWear experience beyond the store, UNIQLO supports Filipinos in shopping for pieces that they need with Free Shipping on a lower minimum spend now starting at P2,000 from the previous P2,500.
