What's good?

I went to Uniqlo last week.

I was very surprised and impressed by what I saw in store for the upcoming season.

I did pick up quite a few items and I just wanted to show you guys today, do a little review of each item that I got, you know what I'm saying?

This is what's new at Uniqlo.

However, I did go into the store with a goal in mind.

I am trying this experiment where I'm now going to start dressing up every single day to work from home

because lately I have just been staying at home.

And I don't believe it to be good for the mental health to just be staying at home all the time.

I need some human interaction on a daily basis.

So I'm trying to see if dressing up to work from home will get me to be more productive, more energetic, more motivated.

Maybe it'll get me out of the house even to get like a coffee

or just to like walk around the block or something.

So that's kind of the basis of today's haul.

My criteria was they had to be comfortable and they had to look polished.

So I didn't want to feel like sloppy.

I didn't want to be in loungewear.

You know what I mean?

As I'm wearing sweatpants today, but you'll see these, you'll be surprised by these.

Let's just get started.

I'm going to start with sweaters first.

I got quite a few sweaters because I think this is just like the perfect piece to work from home.

They're comfortable.

They'll keep you warm.

The high in Los Angeles today is 85 degrees.

It's December, you know what I'm saying?

Like let's let's wrap it up, you know what I mean?

So the first sweater that I got, I believe this is their cashmere crew neck sweater.

I'll put all of the names on the screen right here, oh right here, as well as links in the description box down below.

So I just have this really cute navy cashmere crew neck sweater.

the thing with uniqlo is that the sizing

that you pick will totally change the look so

if i got this i'm usually an extra small like the top

that i'm wearing today is an extra small that's like the smallest size

that i can fit into but i decided to get this in a size small

because i didn't want this type of look you know what

i mean i wanted like a looser fit you know like business casual why did i say it like

that business casual i wanted like a business casual type of look

but this one still fits pretty well it's like the perfect

length for my short torso i do have a short torso

and i think that it stops like at the perfect length for me

and it's loose fitting but it's not too loose it's not baggy

so i really really like this one

and this is also a really great layering piece i'm going to europe in january to visit my boyfriend

and his family in italy and we might go to london also i already have

so many coats that i can wear

but i'm kind of lacking in like the layering department

so this is a really great layering piece because it's knit it's cashmere

but it's also pretty thin

so you can layer things underneath you can layer things on top things like

that so i got that in a navy color okay i love these

so much that i got two in two different colors i even might go back

and get more colors because i like these so much

so these are the souffle yarn sweaters

if you've ever like touched the uniqlo souffle yarn sweaters they're

so soft i love them it's such like a cozy little knit sweater

and the reason why i wanted to get some crew neck sweaters is

because i wanted to stop wearing crew neck sweatshirts

when i'm at home and hoodies

so i feel like uh sweaters is a much more elevated alternative to like um hoodies

and sweatshirts so got these in two different sizes actually

so i got the first one this one is in a size small

and then the green one i actually got in a size medium they have slightly different looks

because they're different sizes with this one you can actually see your shirts peeking out from underneath

which is good if you want to layer like t-shirts

or shirts underneath like you want to have

that layered look like you want to do that intentionally

so i got both of these these are super cozy they're gonna be perfect for working from home

and honestly they'll be great when i go to italy as well this is another piece

that i wanted to get to replace like zip up hoodies

or zip up jackets this is like a knit zip up

cardigan i feel like the half zip is going really viral in menswear circles on the internet right now

but they're just such a classic piece they've

always been in style i decided to get one as an alternative to zip up hoodies

and sweatshirts it's super cute i got this in a size medium

because i did want like a looser fit usually

when i wear mediums they're like quite oversized this medium is

not oversized for me it just has more of like a loose fit look on me i don't know

if it's the same fabric i don't know if this is This is also souffle yarn, but it's just as soft and just as cozy as the other sweaters.

The next thing that I got is this brown cardigan.

This one I also got in a size medium

because I just like the fit of it more than small and extra small.

Another thing that I was really lacking in my wardrobe I realized was cardigans.

I don't have very many cardigans.

I probably have like one or two and they're like really long cardigans.

I don't have any cardigans that are like this length.

So this was a hole in my wardrobe that I wanted to fill.

So I got this little brown cardigan in a size medium.

Now let's talk about this.

This is obviously not for me, but I actually bought this for my baby niece.

This is labeled as for like three to four year old toddlers.

She's turning two in January, but honestly kids grow so fast.

She'll be wearing this in no time.

And this is actually from the Kos collaboration with Uniqlo.

It has like this super cute embroidered patch right here on the chest.

And it's so cute.

Pink and purple are her favorite colors.

So I don't know.

100

When I saw this in the store, I was like, I have to get this for her.

101

It's so cute.

102

Also for transparency purposes, as a little disclaimer.

103

I don't remember if I said this at the beginning.

104

Sorry.

105

This video is not sponsored.

106

I am not being paid to make this video, but when I went into the Uniqlo store last week, they had a grand opening of their Santa Monica location at Third Street Promenade.

107

I came into the store after I picked out everything that I wanted.

108

They so graciously made everything in this haul on the house.

109

So thank you so much, Uniqlo.

110

You guys know how much I love Uniqlo.

111

Even though these were like items that were gifted, I picked these out myself.

112

I would have purchased them myself anyways because I needed all of this stuff anyway.

113

So I just wanted to be transparent there, you know, do a little disclaimer.

114

Let's move on to tops that I got.

115

Okay.

116

I only got two tops on this trip and that's just because when I'm working from home,

117

my plan is to just wear like my non graphic tees.

118

So my basic white t-shirts, my black t-shirts, things like that, and then just layer like a sweater over it.

119

But I did get two tops that I could also wear at home, but mostly I just got them because I wanted them.

120

In my fall outfits video, I showed you guys an Oxford shirt.

121

It was like a blue striped Oxford shirt from the JW Anderson Uniqlo collab.

122

They also have a white one and I just loved the fit

123

and the feel of these shirts so much that I wanted to get it in another color.

124

I have one white Oxford shirt that I got from Polo Ralph Lauren, but that is more of like a like a tight fit or what do they call it?

125

So I wanted to get an Oxford shirt that has a bit of a looser fit.

126

You know, they just create two entirely different looks.

127

You know what I mean? fit can completely change your outfit and like the vibe of your outfit.

128

So I got the white Oxford shirt from the JW Anderson collab with Uniqlo.

129

I also got this in a size medium, which is the same size that I got the other shirt.

130

If you're in the Los Angeles area, the cool thing about the Santa Monica location is that they do embroidery and things like that.

131

They have LA exclusive clothing at that location, so you can only get this clothing at that store in Santa Monica, but they also do embroidery.

132

So on the sleeves here, I got Albie, which is my boyfriend's name, and I got Asia on the other sleeve.

133

This is so headass of me, but honestly, I love it.

134

If there's a personalization option, I'm gonna do it.

135

I don't know.

136

I just love personalizing things.

137

Maybe that's a bit narcissistic of me, but I don't care.

138

And then the next top that I got is just this.

139

I think this is heat tech, actually.

140

I'm pretty sure this is heat tech.

141

Yeah, I got like a heat tech gray turtleneck shirt sweater thing.

142

I probably won't film any B-roll in this because it's literally just a turtleneck, but yeah, I got a turtleneck great layering piece for when I go to Europe.

143

Boom.

144

All right, next let's get into some pants that I got.

145

I think I'm pretty sure these went viral on TikTok.

146

These are the wide sweatpants from Uniqlo.

147

I got them in two colors.

148

I got them in this black color here, and then I also got them in this brown color.

149

I went to Uniqlo a week ago,

150

and since then, I've worn both of these multiple times to work from home.

151

They're just super comfortable.

152

But what I like about these is that they don't look like typical sweatpants.

153

So they're not cuffed at the bottom because they have a wide fit.

154

So if you cover the waistband, they honestly kind of look like trousers.

155

These are more of an elevated or more polished version of like your typical sweatpants.

156

They just look really good.

157

They look really flattering on like rectangular body shapes.

158

I would say these look really good on inverted triangle body shapes.

159

I have an inverted triangle body shape.

160

I don't know.

161

I just really, really like these sweatpants.

162

I might go back and get more.

163

I might get more in different colors.

164

I might get more of the same colors that I already have.

165

Just so, you know, I have a pair to wear when these two are in the wash.

166

You know what I'm saying?

167

Oh! the next thing that I got is a another color of something that I already own.

168

If you guys have watched my fall outfits video, I got a pair of dark wash straight leg jeans that were also from the JW Anderson Uniqlo collab.

169

I love those jeans so much.

170

I've been wearing them like every day, honestly, and I love them so much.

171

So I got them in a different color.

172

I don't know.

173

They're just really flattering on my body type.

174

I have some troubles finding like straight leg jeans.

175

Sometimes they just fit super awkward and these ones fit perfectly on me.

176

So I'm very happy.

177

Okay, these next pair of pants I thought would be perfect to work from home because as you can see, they literally appear to be trousers.

178

They're pleated.

179

They just look very elevated.

180

However, this is like a brushed jersey fabric.

181

Has a little bit of stretch.

182

It literally feels like sweatpants.

183

Come on.

184

These are like the perfect option to work from home.

185

And they look so elevated.

186

They look so good.

187

So this is the brushed jersey wide pants.

188

This is a polyester cotton blend.

189

I love the drape of these pants.

190

I love how they sit on the body.

191

I actually used to own this exact pair of pants, but I got rid of them because they were too short.

192

I think what happened was I bought these

193

when I was in the Philippines

194

and the Uniqlo stores in Asia have different standardized sizing

195

because people in Asia on average tend to be shorter than people in the West.

196

I am five foot six.

197

I'm going to be honest.

198

I love being five six because most pants and skirts

199

and dresses pretty much fit me off the I very rarely need to get my pants tailored.

200

I never need to make them shorter and if I were any taller, I probably just couldn't wear them.

201

So like I have no issues with pants whatsoever.

202

So most of the time when I buy pants, they just, they just be fitting.

203

However, 5'6 in Asia is pretty tall for a woman.

204

So their standardized sizing I think is perfect for like someone that's 5'3, I think, or 5'4 or something like that.

205

So those pants were like too short on me.

206

Like I was flooding, but these pants are a perfect fit.

207

At first I was hesitant when I picked these up

208

because I knew that the other ones that I had were too short, but I just realized that I just bought it in a different continent.

209

I feel like these also went viral on TikTok recently.

210

These are the Uniqlo Jersey Barrel Pants.

211

They're so good.

212

As someone that has, you know, my shoulders are wider than my hips.

213

I have an inverted triangle shape.

214

I really love barrel jeans because the wide fit at the bottom kind of balances out my wide shoulders.

215

I love how the balance looks.

216

I love how the balance feels.

217

These are such good quality pants.

218

The stitching is really nice.

219

It has a really nice weight to them.

220

And they're not denim.

221

They are like more of a jersey fabric.

222

So they do have a little bit of stretch to them.

223

And they're a lot softer than denim is.

224

So I just really like these.

225

I didn't particularly buy these specifically to work from home, but they're not uncomfortable.

226

So I would probably actually wear these a few days to work from home.

227

And as far as sizing goes, I got these in a size extra small.

228

So they do run, you know, like loose.

229

They do run a little big, beautiful, gorgeous.

230

Oh, before I put these away, I actually want to show you guys a little hack for storing your clothing.

231

I kind of wanted to make a video about this, like how to properly store your items so that you don't ruin them as they're hanging in your closet.

232

Let me know if you guys want to see that video, actually.

233

I have been thinking about it, but I didn't know if anyone would watch it.

234

So when you have a pair of trousers that have pleats on it like these, this is how you should store them or fold them.

235

So usually when we store pants, you know, we just like fold it down the middle and we just do this, right?

236

You could still do this, that's fine, but I really like when it has like a pleat or a crease in the front of the pant legs.

237

So what you're going to do is you're actually going to turn the pants upside down.

238

You're going to make sure that the outer part of the pants are facing you.

239

You're going to take one pant leg, you're going to fold it right where the crease is, just like this.

240

You're going to tuck it underneath your neck.

241

You're going to get the other side.

242

You're going to do the same thing.

243

You're going to fold it where the crease is, just like that.

244

You're going to hold them together, and then this is where you're going to fold them in half.

245

And this is really going to ensure that that crease is nice and crisp the next time you take these pants out.

246

Just like that.

247

Boom.

248

Let me know if you guys want a full video on like how to properly store your clothing.

249

All right, this next item is not work from home specific, but I got it because I thought it would be really useful and helpful for travel.

250

So it's the, I forgot what the specific name of this is called.

251

I think it's like multi-pocket bag or something like that.

252

But it's just like this really cute like crossbody bag that I think would be so helpful for travel.

253

and honestly just like running errands or

254

if I want to just like bring my planners and my notebooks

255

and journals to like a coffee shop

256

and then just like I don't know hang out in a coffee shop I could just put all of

257

that stuff in here and it's all gonna fit because it fits quite a lot.

258

Unfortunately I do have a big gigantic 16 inch laptop

259

so it would not fit in here but I could bring my iPad

260

and if you don't have a gigantic 16 inch laptop you could probably fit it in here.

261

so I just really like this it's just like this really

262

basic nylon bag even though it's nylon it still looks very

263

chic I could go to the coffee shop looking like this

264

you know put my little loafers on who is she okay

265

and then I just got a bunch of random accessories these are less about working from home

266

and more about filling gaps in my wardrobe so the first thing that I got is this brown belt.

267

I really like it.

268

It has kind of like a vintage look to it.

269

I only have like one brown belt or like two brown belts in my wardrobe, but they're more of like a tan brown color.

270

I needed like a darker brown color because I have a lot of bags

271

that are in this color realm and my other belts do not cut it.

272

They do not match with the bags.

273

So this is like a gap in my wardrobe that I wanted to fill.

274

And then the next two items that I got were scarves.

275

I live in Los Angeles, so I don't often need scarves.

276

But since I do travel quite often to places where I do need scarves, I got two scarves.

277

So this one I thought was super cute because it's a scarf that also has a hood.

278

So you could like wear it as a hood.

279

You know what I'm saying?

280

Inshallah, inshallah.

281

Much love to the sisters.

282

As-salamu alaykum.

283

But even if you don't use the hood, you could just use it as a regular scarf, just like this.

284

You know what I'm saying?

285

So I thought this was a really cute addition to my wardrobe because I don't have very many scarves.

286

I think I have like one.

287

And then I got just this like basic dark gray scarf as well.

288

One of my favorite overcoats

289

that I have from Acne Studios is like a dark gray color

290

and the only scarf that I own is like a tan brownish kind of color and it just doesn't make sense love.

291

Because that was the only scarf that I had I had to wear

292

that scarf with my favorite overcoat and it just wasn't working for me

293

so I got a scarf to match my favorite overcoat.

294

And I do believe that is everything that I purchased from Uniqlo or took from Uniqlo.

295

you know what I mean thank you

296

so much Uniqlo for providing all of this stuff for me be sure to subscribe

297

if you aren't already uh you might want to watch out for

298

that work from home video

299

Il contesto: Dressing up per lavorare da casa

Il video racconta l'esperienza di qualcuno che va da Uniqlo a cercare capi comodi ma eleganti per lavorare da casa. La situazione è reale e vicina a molti: la necessità di sentirsi produttivi, motivati e anche un po' "pronti" per il giorno, anche se non si esce di casa. Il dialogo è colloquiale, con espressioni naturali che riflettono come si parla nella vita quotidiana, perfetto per imparare l'inglese con YouTube.

Frasi e collocazioni utili da memorizzare

"dressing up every single day": "vestirsi bene ogni giorno". Una collocazione semplice ma efficace per esprimere l'idea di non stare in abiti casalinghi.
"loose fitting but not too loose": "taglio ampio ma non troppo". Utile per descrivere i capi d'abbigliamento e la differenza tra "ampio" e "sciolto".
"great layering piece": "ottimo pezzo per stratificare". Una frase chiave per chi ama parlare di moda o di come vestirsi in stagioni changevoli.
"mental health": "salute mentale". Un termine importante che viene spesso usato nella conversazione contemporanea.

La tua sfida: Shadow speech per migliorare la pronuncia

Ora è il tuo turno! Prova a fare shadow speak con una parte del video: scegli il passaggio dove si parla del maglione cashmere (da "the first sweater that I got" a "it's also pretty thin"). Ascolta una frase, metti in pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di imitare l'intonazione e il ritmo. Ripeti questo esercizio 5 volte. Il shadowing aiuta a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e a familiarizzare con il flusso naturale della lingua. Non ti preoccupare se alla prima non ci riesci: la pratica è la chiave! E se vuoi, condividi il risultato con un amico per motivarti di più.

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso	have just been staying · I've been wearing · have been thinking

Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	I've worn · have watched

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
