“Every knit for every life” is the motto over at Uniqlo, a Japan-based label that has absolutely mastered the art of everyday apparel. The new 23FW Knitwear Collection is further evidence of the brand’s ongoing commitment to high-quality fabric and effortless style at an affordable price. With colder months ahead (in Australia, that is), this is your opportunity to build a superb winter wardrobe without breaking the bank. Here’s everything you need to know about Uniqlo’s latest collection of everyday knitwear.
What is Knitwear?
Knitting is a process by which loops of yarn are inter-looped to create a textile fabric that’s generally more flexible than woven fabric. Any type of knitted garment—including sweaters, socks, and hats—is also known as knitwear. Cotton and wool are the two overarching fabric categories most commonly used for this type of apparel. Being that there are many different types of cotton and wool, the construction of knitwear can touch down on a variety of fibres and fabrics, including merino wool, cashmere, Egyptian cotton, and more.
Meet the Uniqlo 23FW Knitwear Collection
With its latest knitwear collection, Uniqlo continues to deliver quality, style, performance, and comfort at an impressively affordable price.
Materials such as extra fine merino wool, cashmere, souffle yarn, and premium lambswool were expertly employed across the range, resulting in a slew of winter wardrobe essentials. Check out the following garments to put an elevated twist on your next everyday ensemble.
100 Per Cent Extra-Fine Merino Crew Neck Sweater
Behold the wonders of 100 per cent extra fine merino wool, the ultra-fine fabric that injects this crew neck sweater with a smooth texture and subtle sheen. This is quality you can feel as you take to the world outside your door, looking casual but sharp in the process. The sweater has been processed to resist pilling and retain a clean and relaxed structure, making it a wardrobe staple for this season and many more to come. Choose from a variety of monochromatic colours.
Souffle Yarn Long Sleeve Half-Zip Sweater
This handsome half-zip sweater makes for the perfect layering option during the cooler months. It’s crafted from high-quality soufflé yarn and features a relaxed cut with dropped shoulders, making for a most comfortable combination. Each one has been specially brushed to deliver ample warmth and a light, smooth feel.
100 Per Cent Premium Lambswool Crew Neck Long Sleeve Sweater
The 100 per cent premium lambswool that makes up this crew neck sweater imparts a pure and fluffy texture along with supreme comfort. Extra knitting at the shoulders cultivates a bit of textural contrast and brings even more warmth into the equation. Quality this high is rarely offered at such an affordable price, but that’s just how Uniqlo rolls.
100 Per Cent Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater
Anyone who’s worn 100 per cent cashmere—aka the “jewel of fibres”—will know all about the luxurious comfort this plush fabric provides.
Here, it does so via a smart casual crew neck sweater, which features tighter knitting for a thicker and warmer feel. Get one in your favourite colour and prepare to fall in love. Mmmmm, cashmere…
Do you respect your fibres? If so, then Uniqlo’s latest range of knitwear has your name written all over it. Running the gamut of high-quality fabrics, the collection delivers premium design, everyday wearability, and no shortage of style from one plush garment to the next. Oh, and let’s not forget about the expert knitting techniques for added comfort and durability. Rounding out the collection’s many charms are completely approachable price points, meaning all customers are invited to this party. Every knit for every life, indeed!
