Jil Sander x Uniqlo +J returns, November 2021
Jil Sander's Uniqlo collaboration returns at just the right moment in fashion
The revived +J collections for men and women will launch at 7am on Thursday 18 November, and you'll need to be online early to secure a piece of what will no doubt be an in-demand release.
Interested? Preparation is key: peruse the just-released look books now and pick which of the pieces you'd like to add to your basket come the morning of the 12th. You can view the lookbooks here.
We're particularly taken with the outerwear: the cashmere blend wrap long coat is a lesson in elegance, while Sander's take on Uniqlo's signature down jackets is comforting and cocooning.

Initially launched in 2009, +J ran until 2011 and was revived in 2014 when the retailer reissued some of the most successful pieces. The fact that it's returning once again is evidence that the market for simple yet beautiful pieces has not waned, even in the face of increasing statement looks driven by social media.
Uniqlo is known for the longevity of its collaborations: where other high-street stores favour one-offs recreating designers' signatures for a knock-down price, Uniqlo signs partners for multiple seasons, encouraging them to bring their visual language to an existing framework.
Here's hoping that +J is back for the long haul, then. Our wardrobes will be all the better for it.
