Uniqlo never fails to impress us with its array of basic staples, such as the bra tops, and chic designs namely the flattering barrel leg jeans – let’s not forget it’s J.W. Anderson collections too.
We have found another classic fashion staple for the effortless capsule wardrobe at Uniqlo we plan to live in forever more, and it’s the Oxford Boxy Shirt, which is part of Uniqlo’s collaboration with designer J.W. Anderson.
Considering this shirt is under the designer collaboration we are surprised by the affordable £29.90 price tag, which we anticipated would be much higher.
Uniqlo x JW Anderson Oxford Boxy Shirt
Crafted from a cotton and viscose blend, this button front shirt offers a boxy fit that falls to the hips.It offers a collared neckline, patch pocket on the chest, and subtle JW Anderson logo on the hem. Available in XXS to XXL sizes, as well as three colours including white, blue chambray and cobalt blue.
In our humble opinion you can never have too many shirts, but this Oxford Boxy Shirt is certainly one you need in your roster.
The design features long sleeves, but offers a boxy fit that falls to the hips. This shorter length is ideal for those who often feel swamped in longline oxford shirts, or find the material bunches when you perfect the French tuck. It is also ideal when you want to show off your bottoms, whether it’s a pair of leather trousers, printed jeans, or barrel leg jeans, alternatively if you want to layer under a gilet, jumper or dress.
The length and box cut are the standout differences, as this design features the classic collared neckline, button front fastening and patch pocket you will often find on the classic shirt.
Of course, as this is from J.W. Anderson’s collection you will find the logo embroidered on the front hem, which is super subtle.
It is available in three colours, including white, chambray blue and cobalt blue, all of which are available in sizes XXS to XXL.
We live in shirts, whether it’s to the office, a casual throw on at the beach, or for everyday wear. They are comfortable, breathable, yet make you look instantly smart and put together.
Team with jeans and ballet pumps, layer over a knitted Ganni sweater vest and trainers, or slip it under a crew neck jumper, with a pleated mini skirt, tights and heeled boots for a preppy aesthetic.
The style options are endless. And for £29.90 you can’t go wrong – we’ll take all three! Turns out, we’re not the only ones thinking that way.
One shopper, named Dida, gushed: ‘I have bought three Oxford Boxy Shirts in different colours so far. Absolutely love them. The material is very comfy, not like poplin, it’s easily pressed and shirts look very stylish.’
Bekah praised: ‘I love the shape and the quality of the fabric, thick and doesn’t easily wrinkle. I would love one of these in red!’
While Rose weighed in: ‘Loved this shirt. Quality is so good. Colour is lovely and I got so many compliments wearing it. Ideal for work, or wear open as a casual shirt with tank top underneath.’
