Uniqlo Wireless Bra : My phone is now wireless – why not my bra?

October 8, 2018 Paris B 21 Comments

I’m a self-confessed Uniqlo addict. I’m such an addict that my wardrobe is an altar to Uniqlo past season designs, for I usually only ever buy their stuff on sale LOL! We talked once about whether it was aunty or cool, and hey, I don’t honestly care! But I’d only recently discovered the Uniqlo Wiress Bra, and am wondering why I never made the plunge earlier.

I’ve been a big fan of the Uniqlo Bra-top since the first time I tried it. I now own so many, and travel exclusively in them. It wasn’t until my sister-in-law mentioned to me that Uniqlo Wireless Bra was just like the bra-top, only a bra, that I deigned to take a closer look.

The reason I was hesitant to try their bras was because it was wireless – from past experience, wireless bras tended to not offer sufficient support, even for non-ample boobs. The second reason was because I’d tried one of their panties, and found the quality to be lacking. I’d stayed away from their lingerie since.

But one day, I spotted the Wireless Bra on sale (naturally!) and picked one up. I haven’t looked back since! 😀

Your Say: Shopping at Uniqlo – Is it still ‘Aunty’ or is it now ‘Cool’?

I’m Uniqlo’s biggest advocate, so of course, to me, it’s Cool!

My first taste of Uniqlo was after being gifted with some camisoles by a friend, from Japan, over 10 years ago. I still wear them today, and they’re still in amazing shape. Not stretched, nor faded nor even worn, after being washed multiple times. They’re just as comfortable today as when I first got them. When I first visited a store, I was like a kid in Disneyland. So much to see! So affordable!

When Uniqlo first opened here, I was thrilled!

And then the aunties discovered it – Aunties always discover the stores with the good deals! I should know, coz I’m happy to be one! 😀 At one time, every time I mentioned Uniqlo, I’d get this “Oh my Mum/Aunt shops there all the time so I don’t!” It didn’t stop me – how else has my wardrobe become almost 90% from Uniqlo? – but I used to wonder if I was just being quite aunty in my dressing. Not trendy at all, me!

But in the 7 years or so that Uniqlo has been here, I’ve noticed that it seems to be more “cool” today, with more younger people shopping in it, than “aunty”. And it’s not just attributed to their Airism collection either! LOL! 😀

Uniqlo Airism Camisole: The next best thing to going naked in a heat wave

March 25, 2016 Paris B 31 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge HUGE fan of Uniqlo. Sure, I’ve had people tell me that their clothes aren’t fashion forward, too simple and in some cases, very aunty-looking. To all that I say “Pfbfttt!” I’m not fashion forward, I like simple and why, I’m in aunty-category! Gone are the days when young kids will call me “Jie Jie PB”, now it’s “Aunty PB” and I’ve (thankfully) come to terms with it HAHA!

But this obsession of mine with Uniqlo means that I physically avoid the stores, because I’d always walk out with something, and now that they have online shopping, that’s even more dangerous. I have to physically stop myself from going to the online store! That said, I’ve also picked up some excellent deals online, so let’s just say that I don’t hold back that often. Hah!

What I really wanted to share with you however, is not my obsession with Uniqlo, but with the Uniqlo Airism range. (NB: I’m not sponsored, although I won’t say no to Uniqlo showering me with Airism clothing in all forms, thank you LOL) The Airism range is what I think was formerly known as Dry Lux, something I’d shared with you many years ago, and it is the anti-thesis to the famed and popular Heattech range which is targeted at winter-wear. But for those of us living where the sun beats down relentlessly on us for practically 365 days of the year (366 this year!) Airism is the way to go. In fact, if you’re suffocating in this heat, but are loathe to parade in the altogether, then get thee to a Uniqlo store stat! It’s the next best thing to going naked 😀

Heat Tech in this heat? No thank you, I’ll have Uniqlo Dry Lux instead!

You are going to think I’m being paid by Uniqlo the way I plug them eh? Ah I wish that too 😛 Or maybe even a new wardrobe? No? Oh well, just count me among their legions of fans of affordable casual clothing then.

With Fall/Winter entering the Northern Hemisphere, Uniqlo has brought back their ubiquitous puffer jackets, flannel shirts and Heat Tech innerwear. If you plan to travel anywhere cold (and I don’t mean Genting Highlands) pick yourself up a couple of the Heat Tech T-shirts. Almost every member of my family has one or a few of these in various designs, and they can all vouch for how warm it keeps you in winter worn next to your skin. I have a pair of jeans with the Heat Tech technology and I love them! They are a little bit warm when I wear them here in the tropics but when I go somewhere cold they are a lifesaver and keep my legs beautifully warm even while standing in the coldest winds.

But really, you know. For the most part, I live in Malaysia where its hot and humid all year round and staying warm is the farthest thing on my mind. I just want to stay cool and dry, and here’s where I’ll tell you again, to head to Uniqlo for their Dry Lux or Sarafine T-shirts. They are sold as innerwear in Uniqlo and I don’t know if its a formal term, but I’d call these Cool Tech 😀
