Pairing Jonathan Anderson’s namesake label, JW Anderson, with the Japanese high-street retailer has delivered affordable, quality basics that have been filling our wardrobes ever since they first teamed up. The latest drop from its Autumn/Winter 2026 collection has landed, and it looks just as popular as the ones that came before. Expect argyle knits, Fair Isle patterns, pleated skirts, and boxy shirts in a rich, autumnal palette of bottle green, burgundy, rust, and plum, with pops of candy pink and pillar-box red, that feel vintage but don’t sacrifice practicality for colder weather. Anderson himself said: “Building on traditional styles, we’ve created a collection that incorporates colours, patterns, and functionality to be enjoyed in a range of everyday settings.” The collection spans 13 women’s pieces, 12 men’s pieces and a selection of accessories, so there’s plenty to choose from, although much of it is unisex, so make sure you browse both sections when you’re shopping. As usual, prices are very reasonable, starting from £7.90 for a pair of socks, with other additions including ribbed beanie hats, a shoulder bag, and a baseball cap. The full collection is now available at uniqlo.com and in-store across the UK, so if anything catches your eye, we’d suggest being quick and adding it ot your basket ASAP.
