Uniwlo works in collaboration with designer Alexander Wang once again on the impressive AIRism collection full of summer-ready goods. The duo's previous work prepared for the colder seasons with Heattech essentials and the latest delivers cooling apparel that is crafted to be sweat-free.
The Japanese retail label's AIRism technology is a fabric that prevents overheating and wicks moisture. The capsule takes advantage of this material and incorporates it in silhouettes including bike shorts, leggings, crop-tops, sports bras, boxer briefs, bodysuits, tank tops, undergarments, and oversized tees. The color palette features light colors including light blue, peach, mint, along with gray, white, and black neutrals. Notably, the men's selection features a blend of the AIRism technology with a soft cotton finish.
