UNIQLO continues to elevate its LifeWear philosophy of improving everyday life through clothing with the launch of its 2026 Spring / Summer LifeWear Collection, centered on the concept of “Ultimate Basic.” Designed to create the ultimate everyday wear with intelligent simplicity and fun, the collection balances functionality with the joy of wearing clothes. Characterized by refined colors, expressive patterns, and thoughtfully designed silhouettes, the new line-up reflects UNIQLO’s commitment to creating clothing that seamlessly fits modern lifestyles. The collection was recently unveiled during an exclusive media preview, offering a closer look at how everyday essentials can be both purposeful and inspiring.
Innovation remains at the core of UNIQLO’s design approach, with the collection highlighting UV Protection garments that combine comfort, performance, and style. These pieces are engineered to provide sun protection without compromising on look or feel, reinforcing UNIQLO’s belief that functionality should be seamlessly integrated into everyday clothing. Alongside this, the 2026 Spring / Summer collaborations and UT line-up bring an added layer of creativity and self-expression, featuring graphic designs inspired by art, culture, and global influences. These statement pieces complement the Ultimate Basic wardrobe, offering playful accents that allow individuality to shine through.
UNIQLO's LifeWear philosophy of improving everyday life through clothing is being elevated once more, with the 2026 Spring/Summer collection centered on the concept of “Ultimate Basic.” The exciting line-up, which balances functionality with the joy of wearing clothes, was recently showcased during an exclusive media preview.
The notion of “Ultimate Basic” is based on modern consumer needs. UNIQLO draws inspiration from the high demand for the perfect everyday wear that combines style and functionality, particularly for the next season. The end result is a vast collection created to embrace both comfort and style for the spring and summer seasons, achieved through playful colors, clever patterns, easy forms, and wise material selections.
“At UNIQLO, our goal is to create clothes designed for life’s needs, following our LifeWear philosophy. 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. 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.” ~Geraldine Sia, UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer
UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geraldine Sia, said before presenting the collection and introducing UNIQLO Philippines’ newest line-up of local celebrity partners.
While the season’s go-to may be basic jeans, t-shirts, linen, shorts, and Sport Utility Wear, UNIQLO Philippines Marketing Director Jan Ang said that the brand’s new collection has “elevated these spring and summer essentials to the ultimate level.”
The members of the updated roster, each of whom represented important UNIQLO products emphasized for the season, joined Ang on stage. The Core T-shirt line is represented by popstar royalty Sarah Geronimo, while the Linen line is represented by actor Matteo Guidicelli. The Linen line is also fronted by actress Solenn Heussaff, emphasizing this essential piece for the warmer months. Actress Alexa Ilacad for Bra Top, athlete Kianna Dy for UV Protection, and model Anthony Constantino for Jeans complete the lineup.
Spring Pieces Inspired by Urban Rome Styles
UNIQLO's new season collection is inspired by the trendy and comfortable urban atmosphere of the Italian city. Consider big men's blouses or shirts with shorts for a fashionable and comfortable look that works equally well in the city or on vacation, particularly in the summer. Rome's modern architecture serves as a stylistic guide as well, with clean lines and a bright white palette.
“You can wear a different combination every day and still get the ultimate satisfaction, because both are comfortable and versatile. So, just have fun with it! Express your mood with your color and style!” ~Sarah Geronimo
Linen is another material that works well for this outfit, which Sarah Geronimo wore at the event and paired with a Core T shirt.
Meanwhile, who says jeans aren't appropriate in the summer? UNIQLO's 2026 Spring/Summer Collection centers on three traits that define their jeans: style, comfort, and ageless. Each piece, including the Baggy Jeans and EZY Jeans, is concentrated on the three Fs of Fit, Fabric, and Finish, making them the ideal jeans for summer and beyond, with trendy styles for every body.
“But the UNIQLO jeans are definitely fire. 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.” ~Athony Constantino
For Anthony, a model, wearing a lot of clothes comes part of the job.
Fresh summer looks from Amalfi Coast
Meanwhile, lighter fabrics and brighter colors appropriate for the seaside temperature and mood evoke Amalfi Coast thoughts. To begin, choose the W's Ribbed Cropped Bra Top and AIRism Bra Sleeveless Top, or the Premium Linen Longsleeve Shirt and Linen Blend Easy Pants for optimal comfort and breathability. Other possibilities include W's AIRism Bra Camisole, W's AIRism Sleeveless Top, AIRism Crew Neck T-shirt, and AIRism Cotton Crew Neck T-shirt.
“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.” ~Alexa Ilacad
Alexa shared her thoughts about the wonders of the Bra Top, saying.
“I like the relaxed silhouette and roomy fit at the shoulders, chest, and hem. It’s very comfortable but also stylish at the same time.” ~Matteo Guidicelli
Meanwhile, Matteo rocked UNIQLO Linen during the event, which he believes promotes the perfect summer vibes.
“Is the most comfortable yet elegant wear in my wardrobe right now. It’s light, airy, flowy, and can be enough as is. You can still layer it, if you want and if necessary, like with knitwear or a cardigan over it. But I really focus more on the shoes and accessories that I pair with it.” ~Solenn Heussaff
Solenn followed, adding her UNIQLO Linen selection.
UV Protection
Feeling stylish and confident in the sun entails being protected from its hazardous rays. Since summer is best experienced outside, UNIQLO introduces the new Ultra Stretch AIRism UV Protection Full-zip Hoodie, which not only protects ultraviolet rays but also has a functional cool-to-touch feature for comfortable wear. Other fashionable options are the Dry-EX UV Protection Full Zip Hoodie and the UV Protection Crew Neck Longsleeve Cardigan.
“Since the weather is about to get hot and humid, I have started refreshing my wardrobe with new UV pieces for my active lifestyle. Wearing something with UV protection gives me the peace of mind that my skin is safe from the sun. Plus, the fact that it has so many colors that fit my outfits, as well as its casual styles, makes it perfect for my everyday looks.” ~Kianna
Moreover, for a true summer staple, UNIQLO introduces a new eyewear line under its 2026 Spring/Summer Collection, showcasing different frames that fit a myriad of looks.
2026 Spring / Summer Collaboration and UT Line-up
The event included an exhibit displaying UNIQLO's important collaborations (UNIQLO: C, UNIQLO U, and UNIQLO × Comptoir des Cotonniers). UNIQLO's UT Line-up for summer is also on display, which is sure to draw notice given how popular shirts are during the warmer months. New designs will include MoMA, Elliot Erwin, Disney, Timeless Magic For All, Powerpuff Girls, SHUEISHA 100, and BABYMONSTER.
Sustainability Initiatives
UNIQLO continues to advocate sustainability efforts, as a brand committed to making a positive difference for the world, people, and society. This season, UNIQLO is highlighting the PEACE FOR ALL Charity T-shirt project, which aims to promote global peace-building activities. To date, the brand has raised more than JPY 2,883,233,700 since the project began in 2022, selling over 9 million t-shirts in all of its outlets throughout the world. The earnings benefit UNIQLO's three partner organizations, UNHCR, Plan International, and Save the Children. Meanwhile, Roger Federer, Haruka Ayase, PEANUTS, Keith Haring, and Christophe Lemair are among the personalities and icons who have collaborated on the many t-shirt designs.
UNIQLO also displays their RE.UNIQLO Studio, which promotes circularity by mending and rejuvenating your LifeWear goods. The Studio provides repair services as well as embroidery to personalize your apparel, adding a distinct flavor and making each piece really one-of-a-kind. This season, the company introduces their newest patches in partnership with Disney, which are available in UNIQLO Manila Global Flagship Store, UNIQLO SM Mall of Asia, and UNIQLO BGC High Street.
