UNIQLO has unveiled the 'White Mountaineering x UNIQLO' collection, its latest Lifewear collaboration, which presents a wide range of cozy, functional apparel with elements borrowed from high-fashion.
While the new collection presents a variety of looks for the entire family, the items do utilize two main materials -- fleece and down. This means many of the pieces double as highly functional winterized items, as well as on-trend fashionable garments.
A standout item, the 'Hybrid Down Parka,' is available for men, women, and children. The extra-warm jacket comes in an oversized cut and is finished with White Mountaineering's signature double zip. Comprised of nine total items, the White Mountaineering x UNIQLO is sure to appeal to families looking for a stylish update to their winter wardrobes.
