Pleated wrap long skirt/double face skirt
Editor A:The top batter is the "pleated wrap long skirt". The price is 7990 yen.
Editor B:Suddenly, an item that seems to have a high degree of perfection appears.
Editor A:Pleated skirts clearly show the quality of the brand's technology and design. To be honest, UNIQLO's pleated skirts weren't very good before, but I think the quality has improved considerably recently.
Editor B:The waist is quite thick, and the hem is random in the front and back, giving it some movement. The luster of the material makes it look beautiful when it moves. It's hard to buy a pleated skirt of this quality for less than 10,000 yen.

Edit A: Two colors, black and dark gray, are available. I'm not sure which color to choose, but I think this is the perfect skirt to buy.
Editor B:Last month, there was a pleated skirt in collaboration with Theory, a subsidiary of Fast Retailing, but it sold out immediately. I have a feeling this item will sell out quickly.

Editor B: Next is the "Double Face Skirt" using wool blend double face material. Can be worn as a set up with the "Double Face Collarless Jacket".
Edit A: That's an asymmetrical design. Both the front and back were elaborately designed, and I was at a loss for a moment as to which side I should wear (laughs).
Editor B:The right side is flared and the left side has a slit, making it look like two types of skirts are combined into one. Three-dimensional silhouette.
Editor A:What I thought was quite unusual is that skirts like this usually have concealed zippers, but they deliberately use zippers at the top. .
Editor B:The hip pocket has a masculine look to it. It is a specification without lining, but it is quite thick.
Editor A: Among this season's women's items, it might have a unique silhouette. More and more girls are wearing skirts with a mermaid silhouette, so it may be that they are successfully incorporating the trend.

Wool blend tuck tapered pants
Editor A:The back of the waist is elastic. There is a string inside and adjustment is possible. A masculine silhouette.
Editor B:The waist measurements are said to be larger than Uniqlo's normal pants size.
Editor A:It looks like jogger pants. The tapered silhouette makes your feet look neat, and the rubber specifications make it easy to wear. Not much stretch.
Editor B:It is said that flannel material that blends wool, nylon, and cashmere is used.
Editor A:I think it's easy to mix and match because it doesn't look too casual and has a clean impression.
Editor B:It's rare for these pants to be fully lined. It was the same with men's, but this season's bottoms are buying.
Editor A:Wool pants with a button fly are also unusual. I'm not used to it, so it was a little difficult to put on and take off (laughs).

Wool Blend Gaucho Pants
Editor B:Personally, you may have heard the name gaucho pants for the first time in a while. When you look at the real thing, the silhouette is surprisingly good.
Editor A:Speaking of gaucho pants, in 2015, GU pants were a big hit, selling over 1 million copies in two months. Uniqlo's wide silhouette pants are often called "skirt pants" or "wide pants".

Editor B:I have the impression that these items are completely different from so-called gaucho pants. Quite well designed and elegant.
Editor A:I have a good impression that the waist is neat. The spreading tuck design is unique.
Editor B:An exquisite length that makes your feet look neat. You can wear it like a skirt, and it sways beautifully when you move.

Cashmere stole/leather tote bag/leather shoulder bag
Edit A:This season's women's accessories are substantial. First of all, from 100% cashmere "cashmere stole". It is 12,900 yen.
Edit B:The size is 180 x 60 cm, which is relatively large.
Editor A:The striped pattern with similar colors is an accent. It will be sold as a women's item, but it can be used by both men and women.
Editor B:It's voluminous, so it's convenient to wear around your neck or over your shoulders.

Editor A:It's time for the bags. Let's start with the "leather tote bag".
Editor B:Since the cowhide is treated with glass, it is glossy. It has an interesting shape when viewed from above. I feel particular about cutting.
Edit A:The combination of curved lines and straight lines is excellent. It doesn't look cheap.

Editor B:The lines on the side are beautiful, and the navy lining and edge are accented. The degree of perfection is high. I wondered if it would have been better if +J had made a bag earlier (laughs).
Editor A:I think it's useful for people who often go out for work because it's a type of bag that can fit a PC and stand on its own.
Editor B:The handles are long enough to hang over your shoulders even when you're wearing an outerwear. Also, it's a high point that it feels very light even though it's made of leather.
Editor A: Next is "leather shoulder bag". When I saw it on the product page, I thought it would be smaller (laughs).
Editor B:In today's era where remote work has become mainstream, a bag of this size, not too big and not too small, may be in demand. hey. Because it's an era where you just have an iPad and participate in a meeting. The size of the shoulder bag is 26 cm vertically and 18 cm horizontally, so the 6th generation iPad mini (approximately 19.5 cm vertically and approx. 13.4 cm horizontally), which was just released in September, seems to fit just right.
Editor A:It's made of cowhide like the tote bag, but this one is embossed, giving it a different feel.
Editor B:The shoulder bag is also self-supporting and easy to use. The metal fittings on the opening are gold. +J was a silver image, so it was somewhat surprising.
Editor A:There is a metal fitting on the back opening, but it is relatively empty, so it seems that there are different tastes.
Which item is a must-buy?
Editor A:I would like to buy the "Pleated Wrap Long Skirt" as a must. A battle will be inevitable.
Editor B:I might buy a "leather tote bag" unexpectedly. The goodness of cost performance is also attractive, but it may not be possible to find such a constructive form.
Editor A:This was my first bag, but the quality was high.
Editor B:I think I caught a glimpse of Mr. Sander's new creations.
Editor A:Come to think of it, +J shoes have never been released. I don't know if there will be one, but I'm looking forward to Chapter 3!
