UNIQLO radiates the joy and splendor of the warmer months in its newest collection, featuring clean and casual styles. With the theme, “Sunny Moments,” the 2025 Spring/Summer LifeWear collection elevates everyday basics with comfortable functionality, versatile materials, and great silhouettes that are perfect for sunny moments.

The global apparel retailer showcased this season’s latest collection in an exclusive preview at The Balmori Tent at Rockwell in Makati City. Attended by members of the media and the fashion community, the event presented the latest LifeWear essentials that inspire comfort and ease with bright colors and lightweight materials.

“For this season, we bring you pieces inspired by the warm, sunny moments of summer and spring,” UNIQLO Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geraldine Sia said. “Our showcase highlights the best of our LifeWear, with the wide variety of colors, textures and styles available that are a perfect fit for every Filipino.”

The 2025 Spring/Summer LifeWear line-up is clustered into five key segments. Each one was represented in the preview by UNIQLO’s local celebrity partners Niana Guerrero, Donny Pangilinan, Kianna Dy, Solenn Heussaff and Jasmine Curtis-Smith, who all expressed their excitement over the newest collection.Effortless Luxury with UNIQLO Linen

The sophistication of city style meets lightweight comfort in UNIQLO’s new Linen items. Taking cue from the unique look of an energetic Athens summer, the collection presents a cross between heritage and modern, with an imaginative reinterpretation of classic patterns, washed fabric, timeless border and stripes. The welcome combination gets the nod of actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith, who, in the event, paired a Premium Linen Shirt with Denim Bermuda Shorts.

“It’s a casual yet put-together outfit that I can bring from my tapings to brunch out with friends,” Jasmine said. “The 100% European flax material is so comfy! I can really wear this the whole day and not feel hot and sweaty from the humidity.”

Experience All-Day Comfort and Support with UNIQLO Bra Top

Inspired by summertime in the sunny shores of Athens is the Bra Top. For the UNIQLO 2025 Spring/Summer LifeWear collection, the newest collection can be worn on its own or accentuated with layers, each with molded cups and supportive elastic underbands. Style icon Solenn Heussaff modeled the AIRism Sleeveless Bra Top and shared how its soft, comfortable, and seamless material makes for the perfect summer wear.

“These Bra Tops are definitely my new daily uniform,” Solenn said. “I think I have every kind in several colors!”

Move Freely and Comfortably with UNIQLO Sports Utility Wear

Either on or off the court, the high-performance UNIQLO Sports Utility Wear presents premium comfort with its celebrated AIRism technology, allowing even top-level athletes like Kianna Dy to keep cool while staying stylish all day.

“My newest favorite item, which is also something new in-stores, is the Ultra-Stretch Active Skort,” Kianna said. “It’s suited for casual looks, but with its ultra-stretch material and built-in shorts, I can easily take it on the court as well.”

Stylish Silhouettes with UNIQLO Jeans

UNIQLO proves that pants are a spring and summer essential with its timeless lineup of jeans and denim. Inspired by the laid-back but polished vibe in Copenhagen, from the city’s colors to the Danish timeless style, UNIQLO’s newest bottoms combine the classic with the modern. It’s perfect for light layering where one can seamlessly switch from working to relaxing.

Actor Donny Pangilinan noted how the comfort and versatility of UNIQLO Jeans make a perfect fit for summer. During the event, he rocked the UNIQLO Wide Tapered Jeans.

“For my everyday looks, I usually try to go for pieces that look polished, but with a casual flair that I can take from work to play,” Donny said. “I like the UNIQLO Wide Tapered Jeans because of its elegant silhouette and it is very light and easy to wear. It’s also easy to mix and match with different items, so I can pair it with shirts or something more formal and I feel that I look put together.”

Celebrate Self-expression with UNIQLO UT

UT, which is UNIQLO’s line of graphic shirts, continues to be a celebration of pop culture from all over the world in the UNIQLO 2025 Spring/Summer LifeWear collection. With over 1,000 new designs every season, UT presents its latest batch that showcases the Mickey Faces line, MFA Boston Ukiyo-E and Henri Matisse. There are even shirts with CAT photographs as well.

Clicking her happy feet over the latest collection is global youth trailblazer and dance innovator Niana Guerrero, who shared how UT serves as a means of self-expression. The social media icon charmed the audience on stage with her upbeat personality as she showcased her stylish ‘fit.

“Today I’m wearing the Mickey Faces UT that I paired with this vest and the online favorite Jersey Barrel Leg Pants,” Niana said. “It’s casual, yet the UT adds a pop of personality to my look.”

At the Heart of LifeWear

Aside from showcasing its 2025 Spring/Summer LifeWear collection, UNIQLO also highlighted its sustainability efforts during the event. The Heart of LifeWear is the brand’s worldwide initiative designed to protect people in need, with the pledge to donate in 2025 a total of 1 million pieces of HEATTECH and AIRism items to refugees and the communities around the world who need it most. UNIQLO Philippines participated in the global movement by handing over 600 HEATTECH items last January to single parents living in the Baguio area, with more communities to be supported in the next few months.

UNIQLO also contributes to a circular society with the RE.UNIQLO framework, designed to help maximize the utility of the clothing the brand makes. Under this sustainability commitment, UNIQLO works to reduce used clothing disposal, reuse clothing for new purposes, and recycle clothing into new products and materials.

Did you know that September is one of the busiest months for birthdays? Yup! It’s not a coincidence that we’re all celebrating left and right—nine months after all those Christmas and New Year celebrations, here we are! So, if it feels like you’ve got birthday after birthday on your calendar, you’re not alone. But hey, the best part? Every celebration deserves a special cake, and with Goldilocks, you’ll never have to settle for the same thing twice.

Whether it’s bunso’s colorful bash, tita’s fresh take on birthdays, or lola’s nostalgic treat, I’ve got the perfect Goldilocks cake for each one. Let me take you through some of my absolute favorites that will turn every party into a sweet celebration!

Rainbow Magic Cake: The Ultimate Fun for Bunso ????

Let’s start with the little one! If you’ve got a bunso who loves colors, sprinkles, and all things fun, the Rainbow Magic Cake is a no-brainer. It’s a total explosion of happiness—both in flavor and in looks! We’re talking three layers of ube, vanilla, and strawberry chiffon, filled with rich ube and strawberry buttercream, then topped with a rainbow of icing and sprinkles. Just imagine the smiles when bunso sees this! It’s not just a cake; it’s a party all on its own!

Perfect Goldilocks Cake for Every Birthdays

This cake is like the unicorn of birthday cakes—it’s that magical! And trust me, bunso will be asking for seconds (and thirds!).

Mango Dream: For The “Hindi Masyadong Matamis” Tita

Now, for millennial tita who’s not too keen on anything too sweet, the Mango Dream is the ultimate go-to. It’s light, it’s fresh, and it’s packed with real mango goodness. This beauty has three layers of fluffy chiffon filled with mango whipped cream and juicy mango bits, all topped with a tangy mango coulis. I mean, how could you say no to that?!

It’s the perfect balance of sweetness and that tropical tang we Filipinos love. I know tita will appreciate this—it’s classy, it’s delicious, and it’s just the right amount of indulgence at ang pinaka importante: “Hindi masyadong matamis!”

Ube Dream: A Nostalgic Delight for Lola ????

Ah, ube—our classic, all-time favorite! If you’re celebrating lola’s birthday or maybe an older tita’s, this cake is a beautiful trip down memory lane. The Ube Dream is rich, creamy, and infused with real halaya, layered with luscious ube mousse. One whiff of this cake, and lola will be reminiscing about the good ol’ days when she used to make halaya from scratch.

Each bite is a delicious reminder of home, family, and those cherished traditions. Trust me, when you show up with this cake, you’ll have lola smiling from ear to ear, and you might even hear some stories about her kitchen adventures from years past!

Coffee Layered Crunch: Tito or Daddy’s New Favorite ☕

Not everyone has a sweet tooth, right? Well, for tito or daddy who might not be the biggest cake fan, there’s something just for them—the Coffee Layered Crunch cake. This is not your typical cake, folks! It’s got FIVE decadent layers—brownie, whipped cream, mocha chiffon, coffee mousse, and a crunchy cashew praline on top.

It’s a perfect balance of rich coffee flavors and textures that will have even the non-cake lovers coming back for more. Each bite is a mix of creamy, crunchy, and just the right amount of sweetness. If tito’s a coffee addict, this cake will be his new best friend!

Kanya-Kanyang Cake, Kanya-Kanyang Flavor! ????

The best part about birthdays? Each one is a little different, and so is everyone’s cake preference! That’s why I love that Goldilocks has something for everyone. Whether it’s bunso’s playful Rainbow Magic Cake, tita’s refreshing Mango Dream, lola’s heartwarming Ube Dream, or daddy’s rich Coffee Layered Crunch, you can bet there’s a perfect Goldilocks cake for every single celebration.
