Does the brand\u2019s most expensive eyewear require a fashion god to pull them off?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to Uniqlo\u2019s<\/strong> affordable prices and decent quality, it\u2019s probably safe to say that there are more people in Japan who have an article of clothing from the brand than not. Despite the general trend of rising prices throughout the country, Uniqlo remains to be a place where you can pick up some decent clothes without breaking the bank<\/strong>. Our Japanese-language reporter P.K. Sanjun<\/strong> also likes to call into his local store from time-to-time, but there\u2019s always one thing he tries to avoid purchasing: sunglasses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Among the youth of today, Uniqlo\u2019s Wellington sunglasses, retailing at 1,990 yen (US$12.65), are proving to be very popular for their \u201cexpensive look\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, even though P.K. wears sunglasses on an almost daily basis, he feels that it would feel kind of embarrassing to see someone else wearing the exact same sunglasses as him, so he has never once considered buying a pair at Uniqlo<\/strong>. That was until he was in the store and saw a pair of sunglasses that look so unique<\/strong> that they couldn\u2019t possibly suit any ordinary person<\/strong>, and yet were the most expensive model out of all Uniqlo\u2019s sunglasses at 2,990 yen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looking at them a little closer, it turns out the sunglasses come from the \u201cUniqlo: C\u201d series<\/strong>, and are designed by Uniqlo\u2019s Global Creative Director, and designer of Meghan Markle\u2019s dress for her wedding to the UK\u2019s Prince Harry, Claire Waight Keller. As such, they\u2019re part of Uniqlo\u2019s high-end series<\/strong>, which made the unusual design and price point a little more understandable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even so, for someone to pull off these sunglasses, P.K. reckons you would need a fashion sense on the level of Japanese hip-hop group m-flo\u2019s Verbal, who is often pictured wearing unique sunglasses and who P.K. considers to be the most stylish person in the world. There\u2019s no way he would ever rub elbows with someone who has the same level of fashion sense\u2026<\/p>\n

\u25bc Oh, wait! There is!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, if it is our beloved Mr. Sato<\/strong>, who never lets the clothes wear him, then he could surely master these Uniqlo: C sunglasses with ease, right?<\/p>\n

For fairness\u2019s sake, P.K. needed to have some other members of our team try on the sunglasses to get a clear idea of how difficult they are to handle for the general populace.<\/p>\n

\u25bc P.K.<\/strong>: He looks delusional.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Ahiruneko<\/strong>: They simply don\u2019t suit him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Takashi<\/strong>: He\u2019s just messing around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Go<\/strong>: He\u2019s acting embarrassed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Seiji<\/strong>: He\u2019s acting confident, but others can\u2019t take him seriously.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Yuuichiro<\/strong>: Not bad\u2026 but comical.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As expected, the Uniqlo: C are difficult sunglasses to master, as not a single member could handle the strong, assertive design. Rather, it felt like the sunglasses were playing with them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, our fashion leader Mr. Sato is built differently<\/strong>, and the moment he puts them on\u2026<\/p>\n

\u25bc The impression is completely different!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc He\u2019s taken those sunglasses by the rims and grappled them into submission<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Mr. Sato is not one to be controlled by a pair of mere sunglasses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How many people are there in this world who can handle the high-level Uniqlo: C this well? As expected of Mr. Sato, his nickname of \u201cthe man who has never been worn by his clothes\u201d isn\u2019t just for show.<\/p>\n

While the Uniqlo: C are difficult sunglasses to pull off, it\u2019s been proven that if you\u2019re a fashion leader on Mr. Sato\u2019s level, they do look incredibly cool, so for those who think, \u201cI\u2019m a stylish person just like Mr. Sato,\u201d you might have just found your next pair of sunglasses.<\/p>\n
