Fashion roundup: Layering pieces, cozy knits, and many fashion finds this October

Aside from its newest store opening, UNIQLO maintained momentum with the launch of its Fall/Winter collection, Future Layers, which debuted on Sept. 26.

This collection is inspired by the deep blue hues of the North Sea, which reflect the majestic wilderness of the ocean and its surroundings. The design aims to evoke a sense of serenity, solitude, and calm that results from a thoughtful collaboration with creative directors Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran, along with their team in Paris.

Uniqlo’s 2025 Fall/Winter collection features fabrics like merino wool, crispy nylon, and PUFFTECH.

Even with the colder season in mind, UNIQLO ensures that comfort and lightness remain at the core of each design. Key pieces like Block Tech Utility Parka, which is designed with an adjustable hood, reinforced brim, and double placket, and their oversized single-breasted coat with a graceful A-line silhouette that balances out the warm and cold this season.

But Uniqlo’s fall collection doesn’t only have heavy layering or full coverage. UNIQLO U also includes sleek, body-flattering pieces for women who want to feel confident while staying cozy, and these are the 3D Knit Merino Blend Dress, which beautifully shapes the body line, and draped shirts with side slits, which add a stylish touch of femininity.
