That fleece jacket looks nice. Similar to EG collab few years ago, and my EG fleece has seen a lot of use during covid. Might cop that aswell.

Waiting for U lineup. Those button down flannes also look nice. Dont really need any flannels though...

Are the Uniqlo U t-shirts the ones that are made of thicker, more substantial cotton? I have a few thick and thin ones from there but can't remember which are which.

 

[MickeyPunch]

U I think has 2 types if t-shirts: the airism ones and the cotton ones. The latter are indeed thick but not soft, at all. I like both.

Thanks for sharing, indeed the trousers are something, also interested in the W's denim shirt jacket and W's drape shirt, and the knit sweater. I find it's a pretty good season even if most are things we already have.

MEN | Uniqlo U （ユニクロユー） 2023年秋冬コレクション｜UNIQLO

Uniqlo U 2023年 秋冬コレクション。ユニクロがおすすめするジャケット、スカート、ジーンズ、Tシャツ、ブラウス、リネンやバッグなどをご紹介。クリストフ・ルメール率いるデザイナーチームがパリのアトリエからお届けする、ベーシックな服に革新をもたらすコレクション。

www.uniqlo.com

Japanese page has more pictures and fabric contents. Weird thing to me is that twill shirts are completely polyester and nylon. Not a fan of synthetics in shirts myself.

After closer second look the knitted over shirt jacket looks nice. It has 50 % wool and 50 % acrylic content but material looks like the same than their milan knit jackets from few seasons back. It is a lovely fabric.

Also sweat turtleneck in purple looks nice to me. I like the muted color in this one. Usually I only like turtlenecks in wool but I might try this one. Also fleece trousers look very nice, but wondering if they are too hot to wear in office settings. Dont really want to sweat ****** off.

I am sad they dropped U suiting for men earlier. Those were perfect fit for me. Maybe I buy fleece trousers and fleece jacket in brown if they are a matching set... Hmm.

The Lookbook imagery and styling of the pieces is fantastic this year, really close to Lemaire catwalk. Although my wife did comment she'd feel to much like she was wearing pyjamas if she tried colour blocking some of these items in the 'real' world 😂

Same thoughts for the suiting, although I did find the women's suits to fit men for the past two seasons if you size up one or two. The twill shirts might be the same fabric as the flannels they had, comfy but because too much poly it might be hot. I somehow appreciate that they use 100% wool for the knits, except for the over shirt jacket which may be on purpose because of the different weave - liking this one, too.

True. Womens suiting does look "masculine". I am little hesitant on ordering it because returning will cost me 30 - 40 euros. For all other pieces I know my sizing.

Wool knits do look great but I have good ones already.

Tbh I am liking this fleece suit a lot. Will probably order whole fit. Probably pretty good for cold nothern climate.

I read an article somewhere recently that said the womens corduroy blazer jackets are fine for men to wear, because they're cut like a menswear jacket anyway. But I don't know if I trust the source and I can't easily get to a store to see it in the flesh. Has anyone tried this? On the (somewhat androgynous looking, of course) female model in the item listing, they look a little short - like not not quite covering the butt short, which wouldn't look great for a menswear jacket I don't think.

I think if your height is substantially higher than the intended female fit model, you will find that the torso length to be a bit short. The arms/legs are cut more generously oversized but the torso is not.

Bought everything from this look. Fleece suit is very nice! Fleece itself is very coarse(?) in a way and wool like. Definately can wear trousers and jacket as separates like one would wear wool pants. Fleece jacket is oversized, so if you dont want oversized look then size down one size. Trousers are TTS.

Turtleneck sweat is really nice. Purple color is very muted and classy. Fabric is thick. Very nice piece.

I also bought U parachute pants but I guess they are from last season? I sized up for oversized fit and it works nicely. Fabric is very thin though. These are definately more summery piece.

 

[cafedandy2]

I really liked the W's Drape Shirt and taking your usual men's size can still work, but sizing up makes it more flowy.

I also got the wide-fit chinos, pretty solid fabric and I like the slightly curved taper. Might consider the jeans as will since they have the same cut.

The knit shirt also felt substantial and nice for a wool-acrylic blend. The lambswool sweaters are also very good, on the cropped side so best to size up for a relaxed fit.

Then I got the backpack and shoulder bags as well for daily beaters.

Still a good season with solid pieces, the fleece has surely improved from the previously carpet-like iterations (like the FW21 collarless cardigan LOL) to this softer one.

 

[ILikeBacon]

I bought the women's drape shirt and men's knitted over shirt jacket too!

Also grabbed the men's belted padded mac jacket and reversible stand jacket. I'm on the fence about the chinos since I'm gravitating towards less tapered pants these days.
