Uniqlo x Theory: An affordable collab for everyday summer staples

It's been almost five years since Uniqlo dropped its collaboration with Theory in our local stores. But come this May, they are back and better than before - with their Spring/Summer collaboration.

Inspired by the forward-looking, dynamic spirit of New York City, the collection marries the functional materials of Uniqlo with the tailored simplicity characteristic of Theory. Think - elevated basics with an edge, featuring LifeWear pieces for men and women.

Included in the line are a utility parka with UV protection and water repellency, polo shirts and T-shirts in Uniqlo's iconic AIRism materials, as well as pants and dresses in Ultra Light Stretch fabric.

The collection will also see Theory's signature jacket in the Ultra Light Series that is lightweight, stretchy, and quick-drying. It's your perfect go-to summer staple that will tide you through the hot, sweltering heat here in Singapore.
