UNIQLO x JW ANDERSON Is Back — And This Might Be the Chicest Spring Reset Yet
When UNIQLO teams up with JW ANDERSON, you already know it’s going to hit that sweet spot between wearable and wildly cool. The long-running collaboration, which first launched in 2017, blends Jonathan Anderson’s distinctly British design sensibility with UNIQLO’s precision-driven LifeWear essentials. The result? Elevated everyday pieces that feel directional but never try-hard.
For Spring/Summer 2026, the vibe is light, playful college prep with a subtle nod to British water sports. Think relaxed tailoring, functional details, punchy colours and layering pieces that look effortless.
Launching on the 27th February 2026 in all UNIQLO Malaysia stores and online, this is the kind of drop that quietly upgrades your entire wardrobe.
Here are our editors’ four must-haves — and exactly how to style them.
1. The Oxford Boxy Shirt
If there’s one hero piece this season, it’s the short-sleeved Oxford boxy shirt. Crisp, slightly cropped and available in six colours (including standout yellow and pink), it’s preppy without feeling precious.
How to style it:
Tuck it loosely into high-waisted baggy jeans for that off-duty model energy. Roll the sleeves slightly for structure, then add loafers or minimalist sneakers. For evenings, layer it under a lightweight knit draped over the shoulders and swap the denim for tailored shorts. It’s the kind of piece that works just as hard on a Monday morning as it does at brunch.
Why we love it: It sharpens everything you pair it with.
2. The Baggy Jeans
Relaxed denim is officially non-negotiable this season. The women’s baggy jeans in a soft natural wash are breezy, versatile and built for real movement.
How to style them:
Lean into the laid-back silhouette by pairing them with a fitted tank or cropped tee to balance proportions. Add a belt for structure and finish with ballet flats for daytime or strappy heels for night. If you’re feeling bold, double down on volume with an oversized blazer for that Scandi-inspired contrast.

Why we love them: They feel current without trying too hard.
3. The Windproof Short Parka
Functional but make it fashionable. The women’s windproof short parka is water-repellent, lightweight and comes with a hem adjuster so you can cinch or loosen the silhouette depending on your mood.
How to style it:
Throw it over a mini dress and sneakers for sporty-girl energy, or pair it with wide-leg trousers and a sleek ponytail for something more polished. For travel days, layer it over a hoodie and cargo trousers. It’s practical, yes, but the cropped cut keeps it chic.
Why we love it: It’s giving cool-girl commuter.
4. The Zip-Up Blouson
Vintage workwear meets modern minimalism in this genderless zip-up blouson. It’s structured enough to feel sharp but relaxed enough to layer endlessly.
How to style it:
Wear it zipped up with tailored shorts and knee socks for playful collegiate vibes. Or layer it open over a white tee and straight-leg trousers for a clean, everyday uniform. Add statement sunglasses and suddenly you look like you have a stylist on speed dial.
Why we love it: It’s the definition of “effortlessly put-together.”
Why This Drop Works
What makes this collection stand out isn’t just the silhouettes. It’s the balance. British tradition meets Japanese functionality. Classic prep meets modern proportion. It feels intentional, but never stiff.
Jonathan Anderson described the collection as a fresh interpretation of traditional British prep, infused with spring-summer lightness and vibrant colour — and that’s exactly what it delivers. These aren’t trend pieces you’ll forget by next season. They’re building blocks.
Consider this your permission slip to refresh your wardrobe the smart way.
