I was just scrolling through my phone when a Uniqlo ad popped out. Wait, is Google recording what I was typing?π Because the other day, I bought some basic tees from Uniqlo, which are my everyday shirt.
Ahhh~ π€© I was so happy that Uniqlo has a collab with One Piece. The latter is a long-time-running anime, and probably older than me.
The storyline made me stick with the anime because Oda, the creator, is creative and captures the readersβ tickles. The anime has the right humor that makes readers laugh. π
The collection features the adventures of Luffy and the straw hats from East Blue to Egghead Island.
Shirts that showcase an anime history and comfortable tees are not that bad. ππ»
Too bad they did not release, womenβs sizes! π₯² Why is that, Uniqlo?
I really like the designs from the men's section but they were way too big for me, even the smallest size. π₯² The fit is wrong in places, ugh. It was a bummer.
I like the design of the Gear 2 in black (avoiding white for now) but itβs double my size. I was thinking if I can fit it myself, but I doubt it.
Kaido design in an off-white color. I like the lineart here.π€©
Egghead Island and Doffy~ (Doffy is one of my favorite characters just because of his laugh and color palette. Im a sucker for pink)π
I think even if you are not a hardcore viewer, and just a casual one, you will like the well-thought-out design of every shirt.
And hey, itβs one way to honor the 25 years of telling epic storylines, characters, and adventures. π₯°
Unfortunately, even though I wanted the menβs design shirts, I couldnβt get one due to size. So I moved on to the kids' section.
Ahhh π₯° cute Chopper and gray terminal arc!
The pink shirt complements the blue print. Cant help but notice that they should print Chopperβs nose blue too.
On the other hand, I really like the blue shade of the gray terminal arc. My friend told me that the arc was inspired by Smokey Mountain in the Philippines, it is a popular Slum in Manila.
On the sides of the shelves were iconic lines from the characters.
Displays of ideas on how to style the shirts. The mannequin was wearing Romance Dawn arc and the Movie Red which Uta is the protagonist.
I got the Alabasta, Chopper, and Gray Terminal arc shirts.
I got the biggest size for kids and again, itβs big for me. So I downsized to smaller.
Finally, the fit is better. I like the Alabasta design but the shade of blue does not complement my hair skin and hair color, so I had to pass that.
Out of all the whole collection, I just picked two. The gray terminal arc captured the brother of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, while Chopper, the cutest character is hard not to take it home. π
While I headed to the cashier to pay, I could not help but to look around once more. It happens all the time after going to fitting rooms, haha. π
I walk out with a big grin to my face and a happy rush! For me, it is not just a shirt but a piece that I will treasure. π₯°
Full collection here.
