Uniqlo brightens up January with Spring-Summer 2026 collection

Uniqlo’s spring-summer 2026 looks to be pragmatic and fluid, according to the first runways. Clothes will focus on comfort, modularity and a clean look. So the question becomes simple: how can we dress better, without complicating our days?

Spring-Summer 2026: light fabrics, urban rhythm

GQ presents an overview of a season that favors breathability and mobility. Light fabrics, pared-down cuts and discreet finishes take center stage. What’s more, the palette seems calmer, designed for the hurried everyday as well as for detours to the green.

Spring-Summer 2026 is all about easy-to-wear, easy-to-layer and easy-to-maintain pieces. The idea is not to accumulate, but to coordinate better what we already own. As a result, every item of clothing must provide a clear service, from the morning until the last appointment.

Uniqlo – Shoulder bag (Bag; Unisex, One size; €19.90). Compact but useful, it keeps essentials close to the body, without impeding movement.

Technical ranges remain at the heart of the proposal, with breathable fabrics and discreet water repellents. Families such as AIRism for freshness and Blocktech windproof fabrics serve as reliable foundations. Volumes, on the other hand, are calmer: the line seeks fluidity, not excess.

“Simple clothes, designed for movement, and prices that remain understandable.”

Real-life colors, cuts and uses

Sand, khaki, midnight blue and gray tones dominate, with a few brighter accents to enhance the ensemble. In addition, straight cuts let air through and respect the silhouette. What’s more, many of the pieces are designed to last, with sizes ranging from XXS to 3XL, depending on the model.

Uniqlo – PUFFERTECH Down Jacket (Down Jacket; Women’s, XS-L; €39.90). Lightweight and compact, it secures cool mornings and windy journeys, then packs away in a flash.

• Breathable, quick-drying fabric for urban heat.
• Easy-to-combine colors for multiple outfits
• Inclusive sizing for uncompromising style fit
• Clear price markers, with several pieces under €70
• Clothing designed for durability and easy maintenance

Responsible functionality: materials and maintenance

This season’s wardrobe is sober, robust and easy to wash. As such, the pieces promise limited creasing and quick drying, useful in small bathrooms. As a result, the focus is on use, not on time-consuming maintenance rituals.

At Uniqlo, the LifeWear approach is all about concrete service, day after day. Several markets have alteration workshops and textile take-back programs to extend the life of garments. For home care, wash at 30°C and dry flat to limit wear and tear, especially on knitwear.

Uniqlo – Long coat (Coat; Woman, XXS; €69.90). The line is clean, the fall regular: it structures a flowing dress or a minimal suit.

Modular wardrobe, from the office to the weekend

Pieces add up without conflict, making it easy to get going in a hurry. For example, straight pants and a breathable shirt can be worn with a light windbreaker, followed by a cardigan in the evening. On the other hand, excessive textures give way to clean surfaces, which trap less heat.

Useful details make all the difference: secure pockets, adjustable belts, foldable hoods. What’s more, smooth fabrics reduce the risk of snagging in a bag or on a bike rack. What’s more, this practical choice reduces laundry micro-accidents and early pilling.

Practical buying guide and size markers

Uniqlo – Knit Jacket (Jacket; Unisex, S-3XL; €49.90). Airy yet covering, it can be worn over a technical T-shirt during the day, then under a fine coat in the evening.

Choosing the right size starts with usage. For example, you can aim for a larger size to achieve a fuller look, without losing out on fit. A fitting with a technical underlay helps to check shoulder mobility and sleeve length.

A hem touch-up makes all the difference on wide-leg pants or a long coat. Keeping labels while you’re hesitating also makes it easier to come back to them when you need to. Finally, anticipating the season in advance avoids stock-outs on Uniqlo’s most sought-after neutral colors.
