# Fall-Centric Collaborative Apparel UNIQLO Joins White Mountaineering on a New Capsule By Amy Duong | Published 2023-10-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-mountaineering-1 References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/uniqlo-white-mountaineering-fw23/) [White Mountaineering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-mountaineering-umbro) works in collaboration with [UNIQLO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-needles) on a joint capsule for the Fall/Winter 2023 season full of technical layering looks. The signature deep pile fleece jacket by the Japanese lifestyle imprint is one of the highlights in the latest capsule, taking on a new angle with design details by White Mountaineering. The collaborative looks include plush looks that are fashion-forward and keep wearers warm. Fleece materials by White Mountaineering are the notable material in the range and there are four versions of the tonal black, ivory, and green zipped jackets. The size options range from XL and go up to 4XL. The hybrid down jacket in the capsule has a bulky silhouette and finished with a water-repelling finish.
