I love this place! Affordable basics and the quality is pretty decent. I always hit this place whenever I'm in NY. Was just there in October and stocked up on skinny jeans (which fit great), cashmere ($59 -- what's not to love??), and discovered HEATTECH under shirts. They're lighter than regular t-shirts, but keep you warmer. And they really do and are perfect for the cooler weather in SF. Now you can order them online, but only HEATTECH. Hope they have online shopping for the rest of their line in the future.
Really wish there was a store in San Francisco.
There are dozens of eateries I crave that I can only get in NY, but as far as fashion, there's only one place I really wish was closer to home in SF. I'm not sure their fashions are necessarily unique since I felt I was walking into the Gap (if it were on steroids), but the American prices for the Japanese quality can't be beat.
My only trendy, dark denim skinny jeans have lasted me a year and were less than $40... if the rise was just a tad lower, they'd be perfect. I also wish I had stocked up on their HeatTech Innerwear which saved me from last year's brutal late November. It supposedly generates heat when it's cold, but is light enough for warmer days. Plus they do in-house free tailoring for jeans... I got mine done in 2 hours.
I LOVE UNIQLO.
I buy almost all of my clothes there -- they fit me perfectly. I discovered this store while shopping with two of my friends in SoHo. Ever since then, every time I go to SoHo I always go straight to UNIQLO.
So many patterns. So many colors. The clothes are affordable. The staff is attractive. The music is great. I freakin love this store. I've brought many friends here and they always love the place too.
When I'm looking for a simple piece to compliment my existing wardrobe, I head here. I'm not into styles with too many colors, funky patterns or embellishments, so the selection here suits me well.
It's better to come here on a weekday than on a Saturday (hint: avoid). I also like that they custom hem the pants and jeans that you buy. Prices are reasonable and the quality is decent.
Thank you semi-hot Uniqlo worker with the pretty blue eyes for finding my Iphone immediately after I lost it sitting in the front of the store, being friendly and intelligent enough to ask me to describe it so some 'tard wouldn't steal my phone, and for being easy on the eyes for my gay friend.
Other than that, the clothes are ok. I can see the appeal with the affordability and classic styling but maybe I don't get why people love it when there's H&M or American Apparel which is essentially the same thing. Fitting room lines can be long so bring everything at once versus going back and forth to the sales floor.
UNIQLO is a great store, especially for finding those basic pieces that are necessary in almost any wardrobe. They are "uniq" in that they have the widest array of colors and items than any other store I've seen before. But that's as far as their uniqueness goes. They sell a lot of stuff that you can pretty much find anywhere else, although, I have noticed that the female section is pretty nice. But if you're not slim (ie. size 9 or below), then this is definitely not the store for you.
The good thing is that you can find all different types of colors and matching pieces underneath one roof which is very convenient, saves on the extra leg work. It is extremely affordable, although you will stumble upon a few items that seem to be a bit over priced for its quality. But considering it's from "Japan" and it's in SoHo, this is negligible. This store is better than it's nearby rival H&M and the likes ever since all these other stores stopped carrying as much variety for men.
But ultimately, the best items for me are their pants and jeans. They range from skinny fit to regular satisfying all different types of preferences and styles and very affordable. If you're going to buy them skinny, they tend to run small so you may want to go up a size.
Good god, this is a big-ass store.
Uniqlo is a chain of basics (think tank tops, sweat pants, denim, coats, cashmere sweaters) that covers most places in Asia, but only has one location in the US and it is here. I went to one of the stores in the airport when I visited Japan in April, so I was definitely curious to come to this store.
Women's items definitely override what they have for men, but anyone is bound to find good basics here. I bought a Heat Tech long sleeved shirt for the plus one (he is an outdoorsy type so I figured I'd be better off getting him something that retains heat, rather than a cashmere hoodie or something), a wool coat for myself, and some KICK ASS denim leggings that are basically like maternity pants (the ones with the stretchy band) for NON PREGNANT PEOPLE! (I should have gone here first, I would have worn these pants to Amy Ruth's)
So, don't come here if you are looking for unique clothing (although maybe that's a little contradictory to their name but whatevs) or if you prefer to get your basics at Target, or - no offense to those of you with "more to love" - if you are over a size 12, as sizes here tend to run a little small. But definitely come here if you want to stock up on higher quality basics, good cashmere hoodies, and sweaters of every color. And if you love the look of skinny jeans but are not a huge fan of having to actually button them (or you're like me and planning to eat your way through a big ass city).
I really like their cloths, and the price is pretty good for NYC, but I CAN NOT stand any of the people who work here.
Question: What don't I want when I'm shopping for clothes?
Answer: YOUR SNOOTY ATTITUDE.
Get over yourself and get my shit in my size. Its your god damn job.
Still though, gotta love all the pretty colors.
Uniqlo had me at XS.
I have tiny shoulders - though I prefer to say Im "slim" - other retailers have fitted or slim lines, but the cuts are still usually too baggy / puffy. Everything I tried on at uniqlo was actually slim, and each item had an additional ten+ variations in color or patterns. And then their is the cost - $29 for the dress shirts - $29 for the plaid shirts. Affordable cashmere... etc etc.
Just wish some of the 700 plus uniqlo stores in Japan could find their way over to various US cities. Or have online ordering. Another reason to move to ny I guess. The fitting and checkout lines were crazy Saturday afternoon, so I decided to come back Sunday morning right as they opened.... There was a line..not a long one, but still a line in the rain without any promotion or special event. I am considering returning in the near future to ny being sure to visit uniqlo.
oh - and the dressing room associate was kind enough to tell me I was having trouble fitting into one particular xs because it was a womens shirt...but that it still looked good on me. hun, maybe another size perhaps? - he suggested.
Love the skinny jeans here. They fit well, have a good wash and alterations are free. I bought three pair on promo for less than the cost of my Paige Skylines. As everyone has noted, the quality, for what you pay, can't be beat.
Though the cute guy at the cash wrap was very attentive and chatty, the rest of the salespeople were running around in no mood to answer questions. That's ok, this isn't where you go expecting top quality service anyway. (Though a greeter at the door bowing and saying, "Irashaimase" would be a nice touch.)
I love this place! I find myself wandering in nearly everytime I get off of the train station at Prince. The clothes are very well made and trendy, and the prices will surprise you!!
Go often, they have sales very regularly!
I am in no means a Uniqlo fanatic but my recent experience with them has definitely made me love it a lot more.
- Weekends at Uniqlo are almost unbearable, but I don't have much of a choice since I work during their opening hours M-F. There are checkout counters in the basement and first floor. In my experience, the basement line moves pretty quickly. Same goes with dressing rooms. (Not sure about 2F - it's all guys.) They need express checkout lanes.
- Their recent Jil Sander line, +j, launched in early October. I think they also got some special staff to help with +j. There was this really helpful, slightly older Japanese woman who made sure I was finding my +j stuff and offered me a shopping bag. Uniqlo gets major points from me for this. On the other hand the dressing rooms are chaotic - don't expect much service there.
Huge tri-level store with tons of basics with tons of color. Sure, it gets crowded on the weekends,… Read more »
An Addiction. Stay far away.
Better basics than American Apparel, and at half the cost. Seriously though. Anyone who doesn't think this is one of the best places ever is lame. I was able to pick up a few cashmere wraps at $39 each. $39! For cashmere! Hello!
Beyond basics are great classic pieces like wool v-neck sweaters and pea coats that are work friendly, but also nice to incorporate with the rest of your casual wardrobe. Again, the prices are very reasonable. A nice wool coat will run you around $100.
The jeans fit me like a glove here. However, the skirts do run a bit large. A size 0 in the skirts and I was somehow swimming in them. But size 2 pants are perfection. Can't win em all.
The check out line can be long and the music deafening, but don't be deterred. The line moves quickly and efficiently. The music will still be deafening, but sometimes, you just have to sacrifice.
Being a cheapskate you don't normally go to SOHO to find men's clothes, but UNIQLO works for me. Great place pick up some essentials. Walls full of socks, shirts, and underwear.
They've also has some breathable first layers that i'm looking forward to use during snowboard season.
I hope they open one up in Los Angeles soon.
your awesome $5 boxer-briefs have helped me procrastinate laundry more times than i care to admit.
for this, i thank you.
every time I come here I try to move slowly and methodically but I end up getting lost in the wall-to-wall cashmere. Seriously most of the clothes here are too plain for me, but once in awhile I come across something so perfect I have to own it. Usually something from the skirts section. They're pretty much perfect for that "corporate hipster" look. For a store that is supposed to be stylish they sell an alarming number of fleece pullovers and polo shirts. The free alterations are not that good. they only do pants. and they make you pin up your jeans yourself. This can be akward.
This is my favorite shopping department in Soho. I love the ambiance, clothes and the simplistic design. The clothes are good quality and the prices are fair. I dont meant to offend anyone but if you're chunky, or large in size, these clothes are not going to be comfortable for you. When you walk into the store, the first feel is the marvelous displays of clothes. It feels like clothes have become its own religion with hundreds of eyes worshiping the designs. If you're a person who loves to dress colorful, this is your skittles of clothes;every pair of clothing comes in all selections of colors.
I've also been to other Uniqlos in Hong Kong and Seoul, and if you guys want to save alot of money, shop there instead. The prices are completely different where it's cheap over there and relatively more expensive here; the difference is about double(only Hong Kong)
Selections are huge. They have cardigans, tee shirts, dress shirts, sweaters, hoodies, jeans, dress pants, pants, dresses, jackets, blazers, etc. Yeah you'll find just about anything here.
Alot of people on the weekends including fridays. line for checkout and fitting room may be packed. So plan ahead=)
If you were not a believer in skinny jeans, I ask you to try on a pair from UNIQLO. The fit is fantastic. The price is right. The alterations are free.
In the Bible, it says that we should not have any idols. Uniqlo is a store that makes me come close to breaking that commandment. I walked into this store, SORRY, this *REALM* of reversible parkas and tapered skinny jeans and almost drooled all over the floor.
First of all, V-necks for 4.95? Yesplease.
Second, t-shirt hoodies for 19.95? Doubleyesplease.
Aesthetically pleasing to the eye, the store boasts a row of color coordinated clothed mannequins. A store employee almost caught me trying to smell them. I figure, if something LOOKS that good, they must arouse the other senses as well. Did I mention V-necks are 4.95?
When I tried my clothes on in the fitting room, I yelled out, "Aw Yes!" Their t-shirts fit perfectly and are the perfect length- unlike GAP or BR where the sleeves fit but the length goes to my knees. I was a bit offended when the employee said, "If you normally wear a small, you're an EXTRA-small here." I didn't like that tinge of condescension but those feelings were overrun with joy that my shirt length was right below my belt line. Oui, je suis un petit garçon! Who likes 4.95 V-necks.
The only thing I was put off by were the cardigans. I like my cardigans under 30 dollars, thank you. Any pricier, and I expect them to wash and dry themselves. But who cares when V-necks are 4.95.
Don't let the coagulation of tourists slow you down. Just push your way through. It's the NY way of saying hello. And sometimes goodbye.
I remember the advertising campaign for this place when they were moving in. It was all about high quality items designed in Japan but offered at really affordable prices. Well, here it is, a few years later and they're still delivering. BIG TIME.
I would say first and foremost the ultimate strength here is in the basics. T-shirts, underwear, socks, jeans, etc. High quality items on the cheap. The other day I picked up some great quality boxer briefs (2 for $10) and some socks (4 for $10). While I was there I checked out some of their other current offerings and was nodding my head in approval the whole time. Great flannel shirts for $29.00. Brand new selvage Japanese denim jeans for $79. Dress shirts for $19. And their big claim to fame, the 100% cashmere sweaters for $99. Now, I picked up one of those sweaters on sale last year for $69 and it was my absolute GO-TO sweater all year last year. This summer when I was living in the Bronx, it appears that what I thought were one or two termites flying around up there were actually, you guessed it, cloths moths. So when I opened my winter box and found the sweater riddled with holes I was crushed. "DAMN YOU MOTHS!!!!' So I'm waiting for that sale to happen again which I am sure that it will. And when it does, I'll be back to snag another sweater. (That I will take good care of this time. Plastic sweater sacks for the summer this year people.)
Also, there is a great variety of styles and approaches to the clothing too. Like I said, there's dress shirts, casual stuff, jeans, slacks, underwear, outerwear. You could completely build your wardrobe from the ground up at this place.
And last, but not least, there is something cool about Uniqlo not (yet) being in every mall in America. It's cool that, for now, NY has dibs on this tremendous resource for cash-strapped folks to still be able to buy quality clothing. Rock on Uniqlo. I know you will.
I love this store: I like the very spacious 3 floors and their high ceilings; I like the brightly colored items on display; and, most of all, I like the quality/price ratio VERY much. Only major drawback: this place is always very crowded.
This is where I often come to stock up with essentials like tee shirts ($4.90 each), undershirts ($10.50 for a pack of 3), or socks. Here I also got a very nice mid-season green jacket that has become sort of my signature jacket (I almost go to bed with it on...). I also got here a series of awesome graphic tee shirts with manga images of the cartoons I used to watch on tv when I was a little kid in Italy.
This is also a great place for a guy to find something cute for his girlfriend.
They used to have a kids section that bailed me out more than once when I had to get a cool gift for friends' kids. Unfortunately that section does not exist any more.
A word of advice: if you find something that you like it, get it. their collections change all the times, so chances are that you won't find that item next time you stop by.
Why I love Uniqlo: It satifies both my nerdy and corporate casual needs. Where else can you get a sparkly Astro Boy silhouette tee, a Dalmation adorned turtleneck co-designed by Shiina Ringo, and all the basic camisole + polo shirt + khaki combos in the rainbow and then some? Exactly. The only time I've ever been unhappy in this store was the time that I dropped my favorite eyeliner brush on the bathroom floor, but it didn't matter because I had a sweet ass Dalmation shirt that only cost me $5.
I've been a little apprehensive about the pants because jean shopping is always a nightmare for me. But looking at some of these other reviews, I think I'm going to take the plunge next time. :)
Woo woo Uniqulo! I hate H&M and all that, but Uniqulo does it for me.
Random thing is that I love their socks. They're super cheap (3 for $10) and awesomely comfortable.
Prices here are very affordable and they have pretty good quality for what you pay for. Also, awesome store design/layout. The same firm that did Uniqulo, does Bape and BBC, which are known for their crazy store designs.
All in all, sweet store with nice, affordable clothing.
I thought this place was supposed to be for skinny short people? I have some jeans from Uniqlo in Japan that fit perfectly, but maybe there is vanity sizing at this store because everything is fairly long and loose on me.
Besides that, it has to be the most poorly managed store I've ever been to. When I was there it was packed, but they only had two lines and one fitting room open and clothes were strewn all over the place.
I just wanted some basic undergarments, but that section was completely cordained off to store some inventory. I've seriously never seen that happen before. I love the socks I bought, but shopping was very unpleasant.
a one stop shop for all your basic wardrobe needs.
this place kicks american apparel's ass, BIG TIME.
while in da big apple, i snagged up a uber haute royal purple padded nylon bomber jacket that kept my pansy southern california sunshine lovin' ass super duper warm and looked super cute to boot.
kudos uniqlo. i'm a fan.
First off if you like skinny jeans and tight clothes. This is the place to go. They have some plain clothes that reminds me of GAP and BR.
They have three floors of stuff so happy hunting. My female friend can practically hang out here for an hour while I have to leave and come back for her. So yeah they have much more clothes for women than men.
They always have sale and clearance items which are super cheap. $10 for jeans and $5 for shirts. Trying to find a larger size when its on clearance is next to impossible.
Been there before and did not have much luck. Decided to try it out again and scored some awesome stuff. Great selection of knit products for low price point.
Two thumbs up for the following:
-Denim Leggings for $10.50
-Tights 2 for $7
-V-neck Tees for $10
Definitely would be back again even though it was super busy over there. Great quality and awesome price are just unbeatable.
Huge store, great selection, great prices.
ive fallen in love with uniqlo...its kinda the best of everything: trendy, good quality, better than fair price
now dont get me wrong, its not great quality, and its not something so unique you wont find it anywhere, they sell plaid flannel shirts just like all retailers this fall...but their color combos are spot on trend, and you dont see them anywhere else.... and since they only have one store in the us, you def wont see any of these items outside manhattan (too bad i dont leave the island much :(
and for basics, like undershirts and underwear, socks, even denim and button downs, you can find great, classic styles at really affordable prices. $39.95 for a great slim cut japanese denim jean is amazle-ballsi
that said, the lines suck, and there are TOO many people there, but it is big, and they usually have a large staff to make the wait less than it could be
Cashmere cardigan in every colors!!
This ended up being a good, pretty straightforward shopping experience. The cashmere sweaters are a great deal.
Be aware that the store is a bit disorganized with cloths lines and certain sizes out of stock. Otherwise, most items are a great deal. I bought a great pair of jeans and sweatpants that I don't think I could have gotten cheaper anywhere else.
Also, they have free alterations on all pants, but the wait was 1 week for this service.
I find cute dresses... An Oh I do need a cashmere V-neck in every color...DONE
I heard alot about this place from a couple of friend... it put me in the place of a new age GAP... all the different color sweaters, pants... like OMG!!!!!
Everything in the store is pretty much a comfort relaxe look plus they have great sales!
I love the prices here and the aesthetic of the overall design, both the physical space and the clothes. Hard to find as good a quality of v-neck shirt for $4 anywhere else. Though most of the clothes are without embellishment, they do have a good number of t-shirts with wacky stuff like 80s video game art. For me, this place has completely replaced the overpriced Urban Outfitters for everything but the most kitschy hipster crap, if for some reason I need something for halloween.
It's also the only place I've seen XS men styles.
I have been to the Japan Flagship store in Tokyo, Japan. Believe me or not, THIS ONE IS BETTER! [the tokyo store didnt have as much inventory, it seemed more specialized]
I have been here twice, both times during my visit to NY.
I think its safe to say that this is the best store in Soho.
Im madly in love with their Men's skinny jeans [T-000, i think] they fit perfectly, and if they dont fit you they offer free alterations!
Great sale items upstairs on the second floor near the back.
They had cool Pac-Man promotional shirts when I went during the summer. Due to the Pac-Man's 35th anniversary. Shame they sold out so fast, couldnt find my size...
I love the layout, very modern but also minimilistic in a good way.
I hope to god they dont spread all over the US... because then they wont be qualified to be called, "unique clothing".
The only downside of this place is they hardly restock during peak shopping months. So do not be surprised if you cant find a medium shirt anywhere...
after 6 mos, my skinny jeans fell apart!! ridiculous!
i don't know how i feel about this place. it's too big. i get lost. all the clothes are the same… Read more »
I dig it! I'm a sucker for basic (some say boring) clothing: plain tees and jeans. This place has every color imaginable in excellent prices. They have other cute basic pieces such as jackets, cords, dresses, sweaters, etc.
I enjoy stopping by whenever I'm in NYC to pick up more basics (because you can never have enough!). I love how organized this store is too! They have walls and racks neatly filled with clothing, guys on one side, gals on the other.
I'm part Japanese, so I find it very cool that they sell Kimonos! And there's a clean restroom here too, which was a life saver when I was last there on a crowded, humid summer day!
I came back here to pick up my (free) denim alternation and I must say, whoever did the hemming at Uniqlo was amazing! There were no jeans my size at the time so I went with one that was 4 size longer. After the alteration, I have a perfect slim fit jean.
I also purchased a long umbrella since the weather decided to be wet and wow, umbrellas are only $7.90, looks good AND sturdy!
I LOVE Uniqlo!
The price to styling and quality makes Uniqlo one of my favorite places to shop. I came during Labor… Read more »
Rainbows of sweaters, tshirts and pants, oh my!
In a city full of overpriced tshirts and basics, it's good to know that Uniqlo will be there to restock my wardrobe and leave me with money in the bank. There's always a good basic on sale, like $20 dresses, which is waaay better in quality than a similar dress I have from american apparel and Brooklyn Industries.
The store itself is beautiful. Pretty clean and organized. It's an easy place to shop. Love love love!!
