Uniqlo 'Sports Utility Wear' Collection

[In-Depth Look] For You Who Want to Protect Style + Sweat + Wallet... This Is the Real Deal for Sportswear Shops View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] The emergence of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has completely changed daily life. Masks, which were rarely worn even when fine dust levels were at their worst, have become a daily necessity, and the unprecedented situation of summer school openings has occurred. The coinages "Before Coronavirus (BC)" and "After Coronavirus (AC)" have even emerged, reflecting how daily life has been entirely transformed.


Especially as social distancing continued, days spent entirely at home became the norm. With reduced movement, people naturally began to feel fat accumulating here and there. Feeling that this could not continue, they started light walks and followed home training (home workouts) easily found on YouTube. Although they hated hiking more than anything, they now slowly climb the neighborhood hills.

As daily life and exercise became one, the idea that "equipment matters" when it comes to exercise led to collecting workout clothes. Particularly, trying to move the body daily made it necessary to have several sets of workout clothes. However, adding various popular overseas brand products, which gained popularity with the athleisure trend, to the shopping cart was a financial burden due to the steep prices. Since these clothes are worn while sweating, it was unreasonable to buy them expensively and then keep them pristine.

While pondering whether there was a product that satisfied functionality, design, and reasonable price all at once, Uniqlo came to mind. Upon accessing the Uniqlo online store, a new "Workout Clothes" category made it easy to find the necessary items.


The "Dry-EX Crew Neck T-shirt" is made from Uniqlo's long-invested material "Dry-EX," characterized by a special three-dimensional knit structure that quickly dries sweat to prevent stains or stickiness. The variety of designs, from solid colors to prints and gradients, was also very appealing. Along with this, the 360-degree stretchable "Ultra Stretch Active Short Pants" and the breathable, quick-drying "AIRism Soft Leggings" made from AIRism material were added to the cart.

Trying them on, the stylish design made exercising enjoyable. They were stylish enough to be worn not only as workout clothes but also as "one-mile wear" without needing to separate workout and casual clothes on weekends. The functionality was also satisfying. The T-shirt dried sweat quickly, allowing a dry and comfortable feeling shortly after exercising, and the leggings, made from AIRism material, were breathable and cool. Especially, purchasing all three products for less than 80,000 won increased satisfaction even more.
