| UNIQLO 2026 Spring / Summer LifeWear Collection |
The new season officially starts with a return to the essentials -- done better.
At the recent UNIQLO Philippines 2026 Spring/Summer Preview, the brand introduced its latest LifeWear collection built around one clear idea: the Ultimate Basic.

| First look at the collection |
Held in Intramuros, the event presented pieces designed for warm weather and everyday wear. Clothes meant to move easily from city days to relaxed summer settings. The collection focused on familiar staples, refreshed with updated fits, lighter fabrics, and colors that feel right for the season.
The Ultimate Basic, Updated for Spring/Summer
The concept of the Ultimate Basic responds to how people dress now: practical, comfortable, and easy to style. UNIQLO’s Spring/Summer 2026 lineup reflects that shift, offering a wide range of pieces that balance function with wearability. |
| UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geraldine Sia |
At UNIQLO, our goal is to create clothes designed for life’s needs, following our LifeWear philosophy
UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geraldine Sia shared during the event.
Our new collection presents clothes that are light and airy to wear, fresh to look at, and fun to style, because we want everyone to enjoy the warm weather to the fullest.
From jeans and T-shirts to linen and Sport Utility Wear, the collection stays rooted in basics but with noticeable upgrades. UNIQLO Philippines Marketing Director Jan Ang described the lineup as a refined take on everyday essentials.
We’ve got new styles, colors, and patterns for everyone to get creative with this season. As always, there are innovations and new technology for enhanced and functional comfort
she said, ahead of introducing the brand’s local celebrity partners.
How the Ambassadors Wear LifeWear

| UNIQLO Brand Ambassadors |
Each ambassador represented a key category from the collection, sharing what works for them and how they wear it.
Sarah Geronimo paired linen with a Core T-shirt
, highlighting how easily the pieces mix and match. You can wear a different combination every day and still get the ultimate satisfaction, because both are comfortable and versatile
she said.
So, just have fun with it! Express your mood with your color and style!

| Anthony Constantino for UNIQLO Jeans |
Jeans were also a major focus this season. UNIQLO emphasized three qualities across its denim lineup: style, comfort, and timelessness -- anchored on Fit, Fabric, and Finish.
For model Anthony Constantino, comfort makes all the difference.
But the UNIQLO jeans are definitely fire
he said.
It’s the perfect example of ‘Ultimate Basic.’ It’s an old reliable upgraded with better fabric and craftsmanship. You will go to bed wearing this if you can. That’s how comfortable it is.
Urban Roma Meets Amalfi Coast
The collection draws inspiration from two distinct moods: structured urban dressing and relaxed coastal ease. Clean lines, breathable fabrics, and relaxed silhouettes define the season’s look. |
| Alexa Ilacad for Bra Top |
Bra Tops stood out as a versatile option for summer layering. Alexa Ilacad shared
It’s light and low maintenance. In this new collection, I am enjoying the new hues and patterns. I never thought I’d wear a top with built-in bra again since my early teens, but UNIQLO made it so well. Never be afraid to try and explore.

| Matteo Guidecelli and Sara Geronimo for UNIQLO Linen |
Matteo Guidicelli, wearing UNIQLO Linen, pointed out the comfort of the cut.
I like the relaxed silhouette and roomy fit at the shoulders, chest, and hem
he said.
It’s very comfortable but also stylish at the same time.

| Solenn Heussaff for UNIQLO Linen |
Solenn Heussaff echoed the same practicality, saying her linen picks are “the most comfortable yet elegant wear in my wardrobe right now… light, airy, flowy, and can be enough as is,” adding that she prefers to style them with shoes and accessories rather than heavy layers.
UV Protection, UT, and Sustainability Highlights
For outdoor days, UNIQLO also presented its UV Protection pieces, including lightweight hoodies and cardigans designed for daily wear. |
| Kianna Dy for UV Protection |
Wearing something with UV protection gives me the peace of mind that my skin is safe from the sun
Kianna Dy said.
Plus, the fact that it has so many colors that fit my outfits… makes it perfect for my everyday looks.

| UT Lineup |
The event also featured UNIQLO’s Spring/Summer UT lineup, seasonal collaborations such as UNIQLO : C and UNIQLO U, and sustainability initiatives including PEACE FOR ALL and RE.UNIQLO Studio.
