Uniqlo

UNIQLO is a clothing and apparel company that began in 1949 as a textile manufacturer in Yamaguchi, Japan. It is now a global brand with over 1,000 stores worldwide. redefining clothing with an unwavering focus on quality and textiles since the company's inception in 1949. Uniqlo's unwavering commitment to innovation and company culture are two of its key brand success factors.

Tadashi Yanai, the company's Japanese founder, is famous for saying, "Without a soul, a company is nothing." This soul is reflected in the 23 management principles developed by Tadashi Yanai and instilled in every Uniqlo employee. These principles are based on putting customers first, giving back to society, and being self-disruptive.

There is no one quite like Uniqlo for the essentials you wear every day. The genius of the high-street behemoth is that the more things change, the more they appear to stay the same—you can walk into any Uniqlo store and find the same neatly cut classics you bought ten years ago, right alongside a brand new collaboration or on-trend colorway. The brand's shirts are a particularly appealing part of its offering, and there is little competition for reasonably priced linen in a variety of summer colors. Meanwhile, its chinos, which can be altered in-store the same day, are the foundation of many a smart casual ensemble.
