It pays to be prepared in fashion. Prepared in a sense that you are ready no matter what life throws at you: a light drizzle or an impromptu beach getaway.
Stay dry
Nothing dampens a day quite like soaked clothing. Brave the rain covered up in Uniqlo’s updated lineup of functional outerwear that includes the Reversible Parka, the Pocketable Parka, and the Blocktech Parka.
The Reversible Parka, as the name suggests, can be worn in two different ways. It features a sporty polyester shell for windy or rainy days and a cottony-soft lining for a more casual style. It is light and compact, and it also resists wrinkling, making it a handy option for an outing or travel. It’s available for both men and women.
The lightweight Pocketable Parka packs down compactly into an included pouch for easy transport. Durable, water-repellent coating means it is great for carrying with you in case of sudden rain showers. Made in a series of colors, this parka features a simple style ideal for sports or everyday wear. It also has updated cuffs for a slimmer silhouette.
A high-performance piece, the Blocktech Parka is water-repellent, waterproof, and windproof. It also lets accumulated moisture escape for long-lasting comfort. The updated parka now features plastic dot buttons in place of the Velcro sleeve tabs to avoid damage on other clothing items. Underarm gussets create a contoured design for improved mobility, while short hook and loop straps on the cuffs provide a fitted feel. Its minimalist style makes this outerwear suitable for everyday casual wear.
Available at Uniqlo outlets nationwide.
