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.
