If you hate your body, this is the retailer for you. Everything is oversized and almost everything looks unisex. No matter what time of year it is, everything in the store looks the same. The name stands for Unique Clothing but there is nothing unique about it. It's the basic Asian grandma/grandpa down jackets, unflattering pants, and paper bag/cardboard box silhouettes rebranded and marketed towards millenials. It's basically Asian Gap and its popularity comes from the west coast's obsession with anything imported or "exotic," exotic meaning not from here. The graphic tees are okay though, but the dad trend is over and they still haven't released women's graphic shirts in women's silhouettes. For an Asian retailer, they took forever to release petite women's sizes and their clothing is YUGE compared to other Asian brands. And for a store that's been opening in America for quite some time, they also took forever to hop on the plus size bandwagon. So if you want a pencil skirt that looks like the liberty bell, a hello kitty t shirt that looks like it's from the kids section, a new down jacket for summer, or are too big to shop in the kids section, Uniqlo is the retailer for you.
I just bought some work clothes from Uniqlo, dressing like my male coworkers will for sure make my boss take me more seriously. I'm white so shopping at Asian owned stores makes me feel superior to other whites.
Can we go shopping in downtown San Francisco? It's an hour away but they have a Uniqlo there. Please mom it's an Asian store and I think it'll help me cope with my Asian American identity crisis.

Cute but doesn’t really belong in an apartment, which is where you find higher concentrations of these. They’re really easy to find in shelters, are usually just under or exactly the weight limit, aren’t commonly banned like pit bulls, and are cheap or free due to people overbreeding them. So a lot of people adopt them not knowing what its needs are, or why it keeps going in and out of the shelter. Couldn’t afford a Shiba Inu so why not settle for an oversized dog that is basically in solitary confinement. The owner would probably dump it at the shelter if Shibas went out of style and are far cheaper than they are now. It makes the owner feel badass having a sled dog in an area where there are no sleds to pull. It probably matches the North Face jacket for the adventures the owner will never get to experience. It’s the equivalent of adopting a German Shepherd in a police uniform halloween costume. Visit any apartment complex and you’ll find a lot of hyperactive huskies who are overly excited to be out of their holding cell and act like it’s their first time seeing the outside world or people/dogs in general. Please stop torturing these poor dogs, many of them spend their lives living in multiple homes (or apartments) because nobody knows what they’re getting into. And the shelter’s staff is so desperate to get rid of them that they’ll pretty much hand them out to anyone. The equivalent to getting a pug or bulldog when you wanted a French bulldog.
This is my husky, his name is Balto due to a lack of creativity and I can barely control him on a leash due to keeping him locked in my one bedroom 24/7.
Why is my husky tearing up everything? I took him for a walk for fifteen minutes after being at work all day!
