They’ve been at it for eight years, and for Spring/Summer 2025, Uniqlo and JW Anderson are stripping preppy down to its most essential code and flipping it into something that feels right for now. The lineup lands January 10, with a focus on pared-back staples that don’t scream “archive,” but rather hint at a new direction: think crisp button-ups, jeans that feel just easy enough, and sweatshirts cut to slip into your routine without a fuss. These are pieces that can swing from campus to weekend and back again, all under that distinctive British wink Anderson brings to Uniqlo’s everyday minimalism.
The accessories lean into a subtle sailorish vibe—neatly striped ties and socks, a stack of denim caps that toss a nod to the day at the docks, not the old boys’ club. There’s also the returning Drawstring Bag, ready this season in a flash of upbeat shades—pink, orange, green, and blue—injecting a hint of spring even when the weather’s still flirting with a chill.
This collection arrives right as Uniqlo continues to push its LifeWear concept globally—recently, the brand has been refining its sustainability approach in sourcing cotton and other fabrics—while JW Anderson keeps bridging tradition and a forward-thinking aesthetic. Together, they rework what preppy can mean in 2025: no big fuss, just clothes that catch the mood of the moment and cruise effortlessly into whatever’s next.
