The concept for the men's version is "New Classic." We've used a tough-looking 100% cotton fabric, made with thick yarn, for a fit that's not too loose. The concept for women is "Special & Rich." We used cotton with an interlock weave to make a smooth and soft impression.

The difference is in the collar.
We all know that a collar can make or break the impression of a T-shirt. However both of men's and women's adopt a binder neck specification for high durability, there are subtle differences such as the three-dimensional feel of the ribs, the opening of the neck, the number of stitches and the sewing method. These elements come together to create a collar that sits perfectly on your neck. It’s these subtle details that significantly influence your overall appearance. If the concept changes, the details also change to adapt it.
Creating universal T-shirts for men.
Christophe Lemaire, Artistic Director of Uniqlo, shares his insights on the Uniqlo U Crew Neck T-shirt for men from his Paris studio. Lemaire's aesthetic centres on the concept of a universal T-shirt, seamlessly blending sophistication with everyday wearability. The fabrics are not only comfortable but also feature a smooth texture and a carefully curated palette of sophisticated, slightly muted colours. Through a meticulous verification process, Lemaire demonstrates the level of care and attention that goes into creating products that may appear simple at first glance but are thoughtfully designed.
T-shirts that fit women's bodies beautifully.
Christophe Lemaire, Artistic Director of Uniqlo, shares his thoughts on the Uniqlo U Crew Neck T-shirt for women in his Paris studio. The fit is neither too tight nor too straight. The interlock-knit jersey fabric has a clean, soft finish. He also tells us about the many tests he went through with the production factory to create this shape. You can see that the same crew-neck t-shirt is made with completely different attention to detail for men's and women's wear.
Dipped in the colours of the year.
This T-shirt's colour lineup will give you an idea of the year's mood. That is no exaggeration as we are very particular about colour variation. After numerous checks, we complete about 15 sample colours, mostly muted ones. From these, we carefully select those that harmonize with the product. The result is a ten-colour palette. Moreover, to create a single colour, we test four prototypes with different nuances and select the one with the most beautiful tone. If we're not satisfied, we may go back and do more prototyping.
