What We Liked (and What We’d Skip) From JW Anderson’s New Uniqlo Collab

This is my favorite item among the ones I tried on. It has a roomy, boxy fit with a length right below my hips. It’s padded without being bulky, and it feels quite cozy — perfect for fall and into early winter. Other nice touches include the corduroy collar and cuffs, plus the removable hood with a checked lining. It’s currently sold out in all colors; you can sign up to be notified when more become available.

I actually love these jeans. I tried a 26x31, and while I might have sized down to a 25-inch waist, I liked how I could wear these lower on my hips. I’m five-two, but the 31-inch inseam wasn’t too bad when I cuffed them ever so slightly. They’re made of 100 percent cotton and have a beautiful fade (I have the 65 blue colorway) and roomy straight leg.

A Toteme-style cape that comes in a rich navy and a light grayish-brown. It has a good feltlike handfeel despite being mostly polyester (blended with wool and rayon). The contrast stitching is a nice touch. It sort of just drapes without much else going for it in terms of shape, but if you’re looking for something lightweight and versatile, it’s a decent option.

This is a very cozy, soft sweater, like all of Uniqlo’s knits. It’s an acrylic blend but feels nice and hefty. I like the boxy, slightly cropped cut, but the Fair Isle pattern, at least in the beige colorway, looks a little frumpy. I would have gone for the darker olive color, but that one’s sold out.

I might have needed to size down to an extra small, but this didn’t work on me. The sleeves were a little long, and the cut was maybe too boxy? I also thought the fabric was a little shiny for an oxford shirt because it’s a cotton-rayon blend.

This coat is very warm and feels like a modern update of a vintage J.Crew barn coat. The cotton lining is cozy, and the nylon-cotton shell material feels hard-wearing but not stiff, and has a nice subtle sheen. No need to size up here for a roomy fit.

The cords have a roomy fit that can stand out with a tee or take a supporting role to a statement top. The integrated belt is a cool detail, and the front patch pockets are capacious. The material is not the most substantial, and based on previous experience with corduroy in this price range, I predict it may not fade in an aesthetic way.

I have them in a medium, and that’s good for an oversize fit, which can be cinched down in the waist by a belt. The model on the site is wearing a large, which would also work, but that would be more of a parachute-pant-type look.

The 100 percent cotton denim in these jeans feels a cut above Uniqlo’s other jeans, and the light-blue fade is really well executed. (My friend who’s super into menswear asked if they were 3sixteen jeans when I sent him a picture; that’s how good the fade is.) I was not as impressed with the gray when I checked them out in the store. I tried a 30x31, a slightly cropped fit on me, which isn’t bad (I normally wear 30x32). They still cover my ankles, but there’s no break. The cut is roomy without feeling frumpy. I can feel the denim against my glutes. It’s like an early-’90s-style fit.

I tried the oversize striped oxford in a large, which still fits well. I think it’s the way it’s intended to fit, but a medium could still provide enough drape to get an oversize look without feeling like I’m swimming in it. I like that the double pleats in the sleeve cuffs keep the arms tidy. The embroidered monogram is class, but it would be a fun nod if it were placed higher up, as many tailoring shops do. It’s currently visible only if the shirt is worn untucked, but it’s really quite long. I prefer it with a half-tuck so it still drapes over the waist.

I have this in a medium but could size up for a drapey fit. I would personally opt for the red and blue for a more unique look, as the black and white looks a bit too much like more substantial-feeling vintage sweaters. The material is surprisingly soft for lambswool — I’d happily layer it over a T-shirt, which is not true of most non-merino sweaters I’ve owned.

This kind of mixed-material style isn’t for me, but it’s very cozy. I’d probably wear it without the hood. Again, true to size; medium serves me well.
