City living in Manila is all about moving fast and adjusting just as fast! From commutes under extreme heat to rainy coffee runs to chill late‑night socials, you wouldn’t know what to expect from the changing weather. So when it comes to fashion, we want pieces that can keep up without sacrificing style and that’s exactly what UNIQLO’s 2026 Fall/Winter Collection delivers: versatile LifeWear essentials designed for modern city living. While we don’t experience winter in the Philippines, UNIQLO still brought in pieces that would work just as well on a cold, rainy day.
If you need inspirations on how to layer your next #OOTD, here are some of our favorite local celebs who showed us how to wear it best:
Anne Curtis, UNIQLO’s newest local celebrity partner, proved that fleece is far from basic. She layered the Fluffy Yarn Fleece Full‑Zip Jacket over the Milano Ribbed Cardigan and paired it with Baggy Barrel Jeans for a cozy yet polished vibe.
“It’s pretty chill, relaxed, and for someone like me who gets cold easily, even in Manila, it’s perfect for me. As you can see, I’m not even sweating. It’s comfy, it’s perfect, and it’s fluffy” she shared, showing how effortless layering can look chic even in Manila’s unpredictable weather.
Solenn Heussaff brought her signature individuality to the outerwear lineup and this one’s honestly my favorite! She styled the Coated Relaxed Shirt Jacket with a HEATTECH Cashmere Blend Turtleneck and Smart Culottes, serving confident city dressing that’s both functional and fashion‑forward. Solenn also shared how she’s a huge fan of Bra Tops, too!
Anthony Constantino showed us how sweats can go beyond loungewear. He layered an oversized Oxford shirt over the UNIQLO:C Oversized Sweatshirt and paired it with Sweat Wide Pants, showing that comfort can still look elevated for everyday city dressing.
Kianna Dy kept it relaxed with UNIQLO’s Lounge & Underwear collection. Her look combined soft, breathable fabrics with effortless layering — a Ribbed V‑neck Cardigan over sleeveless tops, finished with Cotton Easy Boxer Shorts. It’s the kind of fit that works whether you’re staying in or stepping out.
Alexa Ilacad highlighted her go‑to AIRism Bra Tops, layering them under a boxy Oxford shirt and Windproof Stand Blouson, paired with a Pleated Skort. The result? A versatile, polished look that balances comfort and style seamlessly.
Emilio Daez leaned into the Core T Collection, showcasing its everyday versatility. He styled an AIRism Cotton Oversized Crew Neck under a Waffle Henley Long Sleeve, finished with Baggy Jeans and a Fleece Full‑Zip Jacket. It’s a relaxed yet functional fit that works anywhere.
Lastly, Matteo Guidicelli kept it classic with knits. His Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater paired with a JW Anderson Denim Shirt and Slim Chinos showed how timeless pieces can be practical, reliable, and stylish all at once.
The season also marks the 10th anniversary of UNIQLO U, celebrating a decade of evolving LifeWear essentials, alongside the upcoming launch of the UNIQLO : C collection for Fall/Winter. Moreover, fans of UNIQLO Core T and the UT collection can look forward to new designs inspired by Japan, iconic characters, and pop art, including Manga 100th, YOASOBI, Pokemon, Ukiyo-e, Peanuts and NY POP ART.
Beyond product innovation, UNIQLO continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainability and initiatives that create positive impact in communities. UNIQLO Philippines is spotlighting the first local implementation of the global PEACE FOR ALL initiative to support underserved Filipino youth, particularly young women. In partnership with Plan International Pilipinas, the project aims to provide access to skills development, employability support, and entrepreneurship opportunities that can help strengthen future livelihoods. Proceeds from every purchase of the new PEACE FOR ALL collection will support the initiative, including the local program in Valenzuela City and PEACE FOR ALL’s broader efforts worldwide. The initiative will continue to support underserved communities over the next three years.
UNIQLO also recently launched the Re.UNIQLO Special Artisan Patches in celebration of the 70th Friendship Year between the Philippines and Japan. Made in collaboration with local artisans nationwide, the designs include historical landmarks of both countries, as well as elements inspired by seasons, food, and more. The initiative also aims to support schools of living traditions nationwide by collaborating with local artisans to create the patch designs, which are available for customers to add to their favorite UNIQLO items through the Re.UNIQLO Studio Embroidery Service.
UNIQLO’s 2026 Fall/Winter Collection is now available online and in stores nationwide.
