Get Your Japandi Look On & Winter Ready With Uniqlo’s Pufftech Drop

Staying warm in Melbourne’s unforgiving winter is hard work (unless you’re cuddled up at a snug wine bar or cosy pub). Good thing our winter just got insulated, courtesy of Uniqlo’s new Pufftech range.

These sleek, Japandi-style puffers aren’t just your regular oversized puffer (IKYKY). They’re designed to outsmart the season with featherlight warmth, a weatherproof factor and general stylin’ that will make you want to turf the rest of your wardrobe.

The range has been developed in collaboration with Toray Industries—they’re the geniuses behind some of the world’s most advanced textiles, and this is where Pufftech’s secret is.

The synthetic fibres—which you can feel for yourself instore—are engineered to mimic the structure of natural down, but with a technical edge. Yep, that means they’re just as warm as down but if you’re vegan or just forward-thinking, this is the jacket for you. 

And because style should never take a backseat to function, UNIQLO’s designers have given PUFFTECH a fashion-forward makeover, offering sleek quilted patterns like diamond, block, and onion stitching, plus exclusive pieces from UNIQLO U and UNIQLO : C for those who like their outerwear with a side of streetwear cred.

In the masculine style there’s a few iterations including a parka and a quilted jacket, while in the feminine style there’s an oversized parka, a relaxed collarless jacket and even a range for kids.

That means everyone can get on board with a range that’s built to handle Melbourne’s notorious four-seasons-in-a-day antics.
