Its price level is cheaper to compare with others in Japan,
and quality is not bad,I know it already has beanch in New York,
will have branch in Singapore and other southeast Asia countries as well,

Just like Muji, so many Muji in Taiwan!

UNIQLO is great! Like you said, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality is good

They constantly come out with new lines so it's fun to stop in every once in awhile.

Right now, everything I have on but my socks and boxers came from Uniqlo. It was one of only a handful of stores that had reasonable clothes my size. I'm 190cm so I was just at the limit of their XL sizes, which sometimes fit but sometimes were more often too small. What many people don't know is that Uniqlo does have XXL sizes, but they only sell them on their website. Unfortunately, I think the online store is only available to residents of Japan.

I love Uniqlo!! I bought some clothes there tonight to get ready for my new job. It would be nice to be able to to buy stuff online from there, but alas I don't have a credit card yet.

For the women, I'm 175cm (5'9") and find their jeans are long enough for me. The hips/waist size is hit or miss, and I usually go with an XL in the shirts. I have to stay away from the button down sweaters, as I don't care to pop any buttons in the chest area, but their other shirts fit ok.

Uniqlo is nice that you can fill out your wardrobe with a lot of stuff and not go bankrupt.

Correction, Fufutw: Lived in Japan. I'm not there anymore. And I wouldn't be all that jealous. Japan is nice, but Taipei is a great place to be too. The food in Taipei is amazing.

The CEO of UNIQLO is the richest man in Japan ever since the economic downturn - with Japanese entrepreneurship being somewhat subdued compared to the U.S. I am not surprised that his innovative business model propelled him to richest Japanese citizen so rapidly.

Right now in Japan, Uniqlo has an amazing heat tech underwear product. Every Uniqlo I went to, people were just gathered around the heat tech shelves.

They've comfortable, and they work! It keeps me incredibly warm. Definitely pick them up if you are down there this winter. They come in a variety of colors and types (vneck, turtleneck, etc.)

I agree with FeelYourUFO!! I wear one just about everyday these days :lol:

ha, i think UNIQLO is basically just the GAP in japan, it's a little plain for my taste, especially after seeing all the crazy stuff they sell in harajuku. It's cooler looking than the gap though, american style is too conservative.

Japan is bad about making different sizes though, there were a lot of cool clothes I would have bought but even at XL they were made for skinnier and shorter people (I'm 187cm). I'm kind of skinny too, so I don't know how anorexic you'll need to be to fit some of these.

One of the coolest styles in japan is that crazy "3 pants in one" style where it looks like you have 3 pairs of pants and theyre all unzipped, but it's really just one. None of those fit me either, but they were all too expenso

Taiwan is awesome with the night markets, since I didn't buy much in japan i got like 3 pairs of pants at the clothing market in taipei, you guys have cool deals with the wholesale stuff. Those fit me perfectly, but I don't know why since guys in japan my age seemed around the same height as me while in taiwan I was usually the tallest guy around

I love UNIQLO! I've only been to one in NYC and it was fantastic - my fiance also found clothes that he loves! I wish they would bring a store to Toronto or somewhere in Canada!

I LOOOVE UNIQLO! It's like a cross between Gap, and H&M, only better! I'm really happy that I like so close to the one in NY! If I could actually wear clothes to school (I have uniforms) They would have half my money already! :oiwai:

<<<<<Happy Dance!
