“I love that it says the SG uniform,” says Mr Tan, referring to the new Singapore-exclusive colours for the Airism T-shirt. “Although they look like past colours. And yes, I have 10 of those, that’s why I know.”
This part was gold
Omg can we be friends? Hahaha. Jokes aside, I've been really tempted to get shirts from the men's section too because the colours are so much nicer. But the men's shirts are too big on me :( so for office wear I stick to the rayon long sleeve blouses (which I have in 7 colours too lol)
Wah as a guy I've been so tempted to get the women's rayon blouses. The material and the cutting is sooo good. The Pleats Please pants dupe as well. Uniqlo womenswear has some bangers fr
Don’t let the labels stop you man. I’ve seen some male models online go shop at the Uniqlo ladies section for blouses and pants and damn you won’t even know unless you check the labels
You do know the shirt buttons are supposed to be on the other side for ladies ya? But you do you! Not everyone pays attention to these details.
I ever wore a ladies shirt when I was young. Felt strange because it buttoned up the other way from my school uniform.😅
It’s just a norm. Just like suit jackets/blazers with 2 buttons. One would button only the top button and NEVER fully button together with the bottom. If you see a guy with 2 buttons done on a 2 button suit, he’s most probably a newbie wearing suit for the 1st time.
I already said you do you. FYI anyway
Ladies button are on the opposite side to make it easier for servants to button for them, but since I dress myself I think the other way is fine for me 😂
They're comfy, good in quality, affordable and available in a rainbow range of colours. I also have several of that sling bag in different shades and materials, it's the perfect size and I can bring them to work, travel, or casual walks. ❤️Uniqlo
As a short guy, it's extremely easy for me to shop at Uniqlo. Their S sized clothes fit me perfectly too.
Go in, browse a bit, grab the S sized clothes, pay.
10 mins or less. 15 mins if I'm buying jeans/chinos etc.
Not a jab at you, but consider checking out the children's section too! I've found similar designs that fit me (I'm short too), and it's slightly cheaper.
As long as its japan must be good, chinese one must suck. If its sold under japanese name, its suddenly good again. Even funnier is most of their stuff originates from chinese tradition. Stop your self hatred, as if white worship is not already pathetic enough.
Oh, so that's why the newer towels are able to resist water absorption. I was baffled when I first saw water droplets sitting on the towel surface as if it was a plastic surface.
I have both the cotton and dri fit versions, I much prefer the dri fit version, it's alot more cooling and you can feel the wind through the material better.
I just MR this year. At my last ICT, I went to buy the max number of admin tee that they allow, in both M and L. I told the emart auntie that M size is for me to wear now, and L size is for me to wear 10 years later and she laughed.
For a long time, uniqlo clothes didn't fit me when I was a 130kg heavy dude.
Went down to 80+kg lately and I finally get it. The shirts aren't really the best, but those stretchpants jeans are amazing for wearing to the office.
If only they can sell admin tee in different colors. No need something bright and colorful but like plain white, black, gray, navy blue etc. If PT shoes can be different colors I don't see why cannot wear different admin colors.
Unsure. They are still around so I assume that they are still viable.
Uniqlo came slightly after or at the same time as H&M and Zara. Maybe no appetite to compete or busy expanding and competing in other markets.
>“It suits bars, restaurants, beach days and casual wear. And not standing out means less glares in public,” he says. “All in all, Uniqlo hits the mark in every aspect of what I want in menswear.”
Every year 2 new sets of polo, occasionally the collab shirts, 1 new long pants and I'm set for the next 365 days.
Tempted to go for the supima until I discovered Family Mart boxers. I'm bulk buying that shit when I eventually come back home.
I like Uniqlo too, it's affordable and the quality is good. Big fan of their UT Collection. However, I actually see more people wearing Under Armor clothing than Uniqlo when I'm outside.
I hoarded the Uniqlo J+ Supima Cotton ones back when they were in stock with similar design and am sad they longer sell them

No mockery needed. The guys who buy and wear these tees obviously dun give a hoot about others views on their fashion choice, they wear what they feel good in, and not wear what others think is nice.
I mean why not. I don’t understand why some people make fun of it.
Uniquolo clothes are super comfortable and durable. If it serves the purpose and satisfies the owner, bystander opinion is not going to change anything.
Yes sir, I have polo and tee shirts of different colours from uniqlo. I have 6 of uniqlo pants in different colours as well. And yes, I dress my kids in uniqlo attire too.
Dont know why but defo agree with this. Must be last time after chionging for the day, it always feels best in admin tee as usually is admin time. Psychological
I love Uniqlo. As a skinny guy there are no other affordable big fashion brands with clothes that fit me. My only other clothes are e-mart stuff and made-to-measure formal clothes.
Even the Polo Tees the NTUC members wore at the recent May Day Rally were by Uniqlo! You can see the logo on the sleeve when they’re giving the speeches.

I'm totally OK with everyone wearing Airism (I'm one of them, as I'm doing sports 6 days a week and it's too hot), but there's so much wrong with this statement I don't know where to begin.
Hey, I don't know about the "national uniform" T-shirts, but I just bought a pair of thin baggy cotton pants and I swear they are the most comfortable pants I have every owned! When I am standing still I literally cannot even feel them on me. I am soooo ready for walking in the SG heat now.
Dress me Uniqlo!!!!
I get why people like Uniqlo, but I feel like an extreme outlier; the only t shirts I own from them are their UT graphic tees. Not a fan of those plain, single color, no design shirts; they're functional but just aren't interesting at all to me. 99% of my t shirts have some sort of design on it, and I doubt it's going to change any time soon
I was at pink dot yesterday and many of the gays there were also sporting the pink half sleeve or sleeveless. If even the gays are doing it then it can't be a fashion crime.
Sure it is. I think a good part of our population doesn't care considering how many of us wear emart stuff everywhere.I actually encountered 3 other people wearing the same uniqlo shirt as me. 1 young girl, a teen and a fellow dad. Cheap durable clothes are cheap durable clothes.
Sir John Doe, Defender of the Basic, has some words for you: https://youtu.be/d1mbbYKPpHY?si=w3u7oEFUL-VJh8Sk
Jk. Everyone has their owns tastes and is free to like what they like.

I don't care. I'm sold at SG uniform.
Me, a mid-20s female, with 15 different colours of Uniqlo U crew neck short sleeve shirts: 😅
Then high chance another guy wearing couple clothes with you on a given day.
me, a mid-20s female, with 15 different shirts from the uniqlo men's section for office wear

Definitely! Clothes have no gender. Wear whatever makes you feel good y'all
i like the oversized look so i lean into the "too big" part of it
Uniqlo men section quite boring thoooo
i like the shapeless cut
Hmmm to each it’s own ig but happy u found ur stuff
Another female here but for going-out as well HAHA
You do know the shirt buttons are supposed to be on the other side for ladies ya? But you do you! Not everyone pays attention to these details. I ever wore a ladies shirt when I was young. Felt strange because it buttoned up the other way from my school uniform.😅
does where the shirt buttons sit matter if i'm able to put them on anyway?
It’s just a norm. Just like suit jackets/blazers with 2 buttons. One would button only the top button and NEVER fully button together with the bottom. If you see a guy with 2 buttons done on a 2 button suit, he’s most probably a newbie wearing suit for the 1st time. I already said you do you. FYI anyway

just look around when you go out, you can easily find a few people wearing the same uniqlo top
National underwear too
They need to bring back the briefs if they want to displace Byford and Hush Puppies.
How u know
He's from NUS and personally inspected all the students. I know because I was also there /s
Chey I thought yall both are the MOs in charge of new enlistees during their pre enlistment medical checkup /s
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As a short guy, it's extremely easy for me to shop at Uniqlo. Their S sized clothes fit me perfectly too. Go in, browse a bit, grab the S sized clothes, pay. 10 mins or less. 15 mins if I'm buying jeans/chinos etc.
How tall are you? I used to be able to get their S sized clothes, but ever since I started going to the gym, S is too small and M is too big.
Shorter than average. 157cm
Not a jab at you, but consider checking out the children's section too! I've found similar designs that fit me (I'm short too), and it's slightly cheaper.
Yeah, I went to the children's section in Uniqlo in Australia just because the adult cutting don't fit asian men nicely.
This is me but w M size Esp their pants fit quite well, shirt also
[удалено]
Lol yes I'm tall enough to use their checkout counters. That's why 10 mins or less can settle.
I mean, it's true lmao.
admin attire, simple, comfort, nostalgic, $20: 😑 admin attire, use emart credits to buy: 😀
Uniqlo shd become a supplier for SAF at this point.
A japanese company providing for the saf. The irony is delicious. Then again jp already made sg eat sweet potatoes via donki already
Got provided with Asics shoes when I was serving NS in ‘10-‘12, so that already happened.
And got people queuing up for pricey warabimochi when they don't know much about muah chee.
Uh. I know muah Chee. It’s not comparable to warabi mochi. Smh.
As long as its japan must be good, chinese one must suck. If its sold under japanese name, its suddenly good again. Even funnier is most of their stuff originates from chinese tradition. Stop your self hatred, as if white worship is not already pathetic enough.
Haha bro you need a new social circle, seems like you’re hanging with the wrong ppl for you to paint with such a broad brush.
Our uniforms are already made in China, not locally. I don’t see the difference hahahaha
I want the cotton version to come back
YES! the towel also. that old rough and tough cotton one
Wait..they changed the towel?
it'a been 100% polyester for some time liao.. last time its 100% cotton
Oh, so that's why the newer towels are able to resist water absorption. I was baffled when I first saw water droplets sitting on the towel surface as if it was a plastic surface.
It takes a while to season the towel until it is satisfactory. Will probably become your family heirloom if buy a 2nd one to rotate usage
The new towel can last forever sia
I have both the cotton and dri fit versions, I much prefer the dri fit version, it's alot more cooling and you can feel the wind through the material better.
yesss the olive green admin tee, also available in dri-fit / AIRism, is the true SG uniform
For real it’s been nearly 8 years since I ORD and I still keep my old admin shirts and shorts Army admin clothing is just hella comfy
I just MR this year. At my last ICT, I went to buy the max number of admin tee that they allow, in both M and L. I told the emart auntie that M size is for me to wear now, and L size is for me to wear 10 years later and she laughed.
High Iq move. I didn’t do this and I regret 😂
they make great home clothes, nice to sleep in, nice to exercise in... just like ns days all men in admin are brothers
Yeah, the rsaf inner tee has been my home shirt for 4 years. A few of them have turned grey over the years.
For guys, yes. Uniqlo can take care of most of our needs (80%+). Good price to quality.
Expensive tho sometimes
Where else are you shopping at? Bossini? Giordano?
For a long time, uniqlo clothes didn't fit me when I was a 130kg heavy dude. Went down to 80+kg lately and I finally get it. The shirts aren't really the best, but those stretchpants jeans are amazing for wearing to the office.
Man I totally lived this exact experience.
Dam why is no one commending the effort to lose weight
And those sweatpants designed to look like formal black trousers...
Looks good on casual wear too
What are they called?
Ultra stretch Dry-ex tapered pants.
Damn son that’s a big loss
Incredible weight loss. Mad respect.
Almost 50kg, that's fucking insane bro, gj.
And those sweatpants designed to look like formal black trousers...
good job on the weight loss 💪🏼
I like army tee as home wear. And its price, unbeatable. Truly national tee. If the tee is without logo, at the same unbeatable price, even better.
Pt kit at home to save money on air con
If only they can sell admin tee in different colors. No need something bright and colorful but like plain white, black, gray, navy blue etc. If PT shoes can be different colors I don't see why cannot wear different admin colors.
Well there’s Air Force, army and navy admin tees
Used to be Giordano and Bossini. What happened to them?
Weather got hotter and airism was a killer product
Uniqlo beat them hard on price and quality and Giordano/Bossini always has an unnecessary min spend
I don't see them collaborating with square enix & capcom like Uniqlo did..
Unsure. They are still around so I assume that they are still viable. Uniqlo came slightly after or at the same time as H&M and Zara. Maybe no appetite to compete or busy expanding and competing in other markets.
I just bought 3 same color
*laughs in decathlon*
Decath shorts are the best Ngl Cheap and good I always wear and buy them like quite shiok and value for money
My whole wardrobe is decathlon 🤣🤣🤣
Would buy if they have pastel shades
>“It suits bars, restaurants, beach days and casual wear. And not standing out means less glares in public,” he says. “All in all, Uniqlo hits the mark in every aspect of what I want in menswear.” 
It’s really only Uniqlo or Decat for me. Nothing else.
Muji thoooo
Muji abit more ex and their sizes are abit small.
Every year 2 new sets of polo, occasionally the collab shirts, 1 new long pants and I'm set for the next 365 days. Tempted to go for the supima until I discovered Family Mart boxers. I'm bulk buying that shit when I eventually come back home.
Majority of Sg guys got at least a few PT army t shirt or Uniqlo in wardrobe. Simple, cheap, easy to get and long lasting.
Fr jus like men, valuing practicality
I like Uniqlo too, it's affordable and the quality is good. Big fan of their UT Collection. However, I actually see more people wearing Under Armor clothing than Uniqlo when I'm outside.
It’s basic, accessible, affordable and suitable for Singapore weather.
I prefer supima
Definitely supima. If only they’d fix their shrinking problem or I learnt to wash better.
Their old supima was a lot better. I have supima T shirts from a decade ago that look better than the ones I bought last year :’(
Wash in cold water. I rarely use 40 degrees celsius
Yes. Supima master race.
I prefer the og 14.90 one haha supima is too thin for me
I hoarded the Uniqlo J+ Supima Cotton ones back when they were in stock with similar design and am sad they longer sell them This: https://www.uniqlo.com/sg/en/products/E436133-000
J+ were the best by far, it was a collobaration so i guess thats why they didnt keep it for very long.
No mockery needed. The guys who buy and wear these tees obviously dun give a hoot about others views on their fashion choice, they wear what they feel good in, and not wear what others think is nice.
The online vitriol is the textbook definition of 吃饱没事做
Tbh for guys it’s more important to go to the gym, if your frame is nice you’ll look good in most clothes.
🎶 "This is my country, this is my shirt..." 🎶
I mean why not. I don’t understand why some people make fun of it. Uniquolo clothes are super comfortable and durable. If it serves the purpose and satisfies the owner, bystander opinion is not going to change anything.
Yes sir, I have polo and tee shirts of different colours from uniqlo. I have 6 of uniqlo pants in different colours as well. And yes, I dress my kids in uniqlo attire too.
The SAF admin vest is still the SG uniform. No need to double down. Just make one available in the same shade of green.
> The SAF admin vest is still the SG uniform Also a symbol of "I have a boyfriend" for SG gals
That is reserved for my pyjamas. Still the most comfy clothes to wear when I sleep.
Dont know why but defo agree with this. Must be last time after chionging for the day, it always feels best in admin tee as usually is admin time. Psychological
NS chou chou
I love Uniqlo. As a skinny guy there are no other affordable big fashion brands with clothes that fit me. My only other clothes are e-mart stuff and made-to-measure formal clothes.

Man United would like a word..
SAF should just get them to supply the admin outfit

UniqloTogether
welcome to singapore (uniqlo)!
They cud start by sponsoring SG’s national team
It’s so comfy when wearing at work, not pricey at all. Why the need to turn them down?
Fuck me im sold!
As long as they continue selling their Dry-EX brand i'll support them, all other clothes make me sweat like crazy in this CRAZY weather

When I am standing still I literally cannot even feel them on me. I am soooo ready for walking in the SG heat now. Dress me Uniqlo!!!!
I also have four tees in different colours . They are just so versatile and comfy
pity the cuts dont fit the very tall
you can buy longer pants on the online site
you can buy longer pants on their website
tall? like 2.0m?
yeah i have to duck under normal door frames, just racks of tailored shirts and suits
Uniqlo plz bring back my favorite pair of casual workout pants, plz, all the later models CMI.
For crew neck tees from uniqlo I recommend getting the supima cotton series
Literally wearing this right now while chilling at home reading reddit.
NPC clothes
I mean, if the ~~shoe~~ t-shirt fits...
Reading this while wearing Uniqlo
Funny they featured a lawyer who rarely has the choice of wearing the national attire
I do not have a single uniqlo product in my closet. I shop more at decathlon.
I can't relate because I don't wear Uniqlo t-shirts but only their pants.
I really hope they change their shorts sizing again 😔 Most models dont fit me anymore
$9.90 basic tees for me
Since it has come to this, anyone know if the old type non stretchy saf admin shorts still can be found?
I get why people like Uniqlo, but I feel like an extreme outlier; the only t shirts I own from them are their UT graphic tees. Not a fan of those plain, single color, no design shirts; they're functional but just aren't interesting at all to me. 99% of my t shirts have some sort of design on it, and I doubt it's going to change any time soon
Sup fellow Uniqlo discounted anime shirt lovers
The Metal Gear shirts were absolute bangers.
じみ ! しんじん.
Is that some reference?
I was at pink dot yesterday and many of the gays there were also sporting the pink half sleeve or sleeveless. If even the gays are doing it then it can't be a fashion crime.
They aren't wrong. They just isn't mine.
I’m not sure if this is good advertising. I’m actually turned off from buying because everyone wears it.
woh u so cool and contrarian wor ~
Nobody wants to turn up wearing the same clothes as another person 😂
This is like a teenager problem
Sure it is. I think a good part of our population doesn't care considering how many of us wear emart stuff everywhere.I actually encountered 3 other people wearing the same uniqlo shirt as me. 1 young girl, a teen and a fellow dad. Cheap durable clothes are cheap durable clothes.
it's just a t-shirt. you're not wearing it to impress anyone.
Sir John Doe, Defender of the Basic, has some words for you: https://youtu.be/d1mbbYKPpHY?si=w3u7oEFUL-VJh8Sk Jk. Everyone has their owns tastes and is free to like what they like.
If you and your friend turn up wearing a black tshirt, do you ask each other where you buy from??
I have never bought one of these, ever lol.
I find uniqlo very bland. Only plain shirts, t-shirts. Not interesting at all for me.
That's the point it is there to set the foundation of your wardrobe.
Totally this reason. If want to add extra just buy a jacket and bam new style.
