The [seasonal capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-fw25) is described to be "Grounded in Unreality." Morikawa experiments with mind-bending designs as he delivers shirts that blend into trousers, functioning as a jumpsuit. The collection also has gradient patterns to dive into the ways that colors work together, as well as trousers that have a secondary waistband to reveal more height. The rest of the capsule includes oversized shirts, trim outerwear, slacks with relaxed cuts, and more. Many of the designs highlight fabric experimentations, detailed with accents such as glossy wool, smeared velvet, and printed textiles for dynamic visuals.
