Introduction

The high street can be a notoriously difficult place to shop. With a large proportion of retailers focused on churning out trend-led pieces before their competitors, in an attempt to capitalise on fleeting trends, it can be hard to find high quality clothing at an affordable price point. UNIQLO are an exception to the fast fashion movement. Each season the Japanese label produce truly classic menswear: well cut, timeless designs that are constructed to the highest standard in superior materials – and for a price that will not break the bank. Regular readers will already be aware of the brand. They were recently advocated in our Five Key Retailers On A Budget article, but don’t just take our word for it – the FashionBeans community continues to sing the brand’s praises and recommends them regularly within our forum and in the comments section of articles. Today we have the pleasure of introducing UNIQLO’s new men’s shirting collection, which is set to form the foundation of your wardrobe…

UNIQLO Shirts

UNIQLO’s new range of casual shirting is exceptional. Made from breathable cotton to help keep you cool, you can take your pick from classic Oxford shirts, clean cut broadcloth or rugged denim versions. Our favourites come in the form of the plaid styles. Set to become a huge pattern trend for autumn/winter 2013, UNIQLO provide a check for every taste. Whether you prefer Mod-inspired ginghams, rugged Americana-esque flannels or traditional checked button-downs to pair with your suiting, you can effortlessly stay on trend without compromising your classic, timeless approach to dressing. Other highlights include the selection of chambray shirts. Able to be dressed up with tailoring or simply utilised as a standalone piece at the weekend, a lightweight chambray shirt is an essential addition to any modern wardrobe. UNIQLO offer traditional navy blue chambrays, subtle printed versions that will help add a point of difference to any look and even red, green or white styles that would effortlessly slot into your smart-casual rotation. All UNIQLO shirts are meticulously cut to the highest standard and feature a contemporary, slim fit, ensuring they will become a year round wardrobe staple. Starting from just £14.90 for a classic Oxford shirt, the quality is unbeatable for the price.
