How many of you want to lose weight but are too lazy to head to the gym? Well you might want to start buying clothes from Uniqlo because they are now claiming that their new heat-sucking innerwear is gonna help you burn fats!
Operated by the ambitious Fast Retailing Co., Uniqlo is marketing a new line of products that claim to help wearers burn more calories from just suiting up in the T-shirt and underpants.
Called the ‘Easy Exe’ series, after a phonetic shortening of the word “exercise” in Japanese, the design of plastic dots and lines that traces the gluteus maximus and lower back is said to encourage better posture, which will lead to a more efficient way of walking, according to Uniqlo’s Japanese online shop. Recognizing that burning calories can be hard work, the material is designed to have the same perspiration-absorbing feature as some of its other products. And keeping to its fashionably functional but cheap mantra, both the boxers and T-shirts cost 1,500 yen ($17).
Although the exercise wear is invisible to most onlookers, initial customer reviews appear mixed, with the level of comfort apparently in the eye of the beholder. “I think it’s pretty comfortable to wear,” writes one happy customer on the online store’s comments page, who goes by the online handle ‘marchin’. “I am happy that Uniqlo is selling it at a reasonable price.”
Not everyone’s so keen. “I just bought it (the T-shirt) but I can’t get used to the material. It’s overall quite stiff and I can feel the sweat sticking to me,” writes one anonymous reviewer on the store’s comments page, explaining that it’s partially because he is too used to the fabric used in Uniqlo’s Body Tech series launched several years ago. Even though his Body Tech shirts have gone through several years of wear and tear, he still likes wearing them, a sentiment that he doesn’t extend to the company’s latest innovation. “Also, if the sleeves are going to cling this much, I would prefer they would be a little longer. It’s just long enough that it ends in a painful spot that makes it difficult to move my arm and feels as though my blood vessels will close.”

I quite like some of the T-shirt designs from Uniqlo but they are priced too high in Singapore outlets. Back to the topic, if you could grow slim just by wearing clothes, all the beauty slimming salons would be out of business. LOL
I’m pretty sure that those who will buy these clothes are the desperate and/or lazy types. Really now, there is no easy way to lose fat. Unless you’re born with insane metabolism (like I), losing fat will take a you a long and painful time.
Will UNIQLO be bringing this men’s clothing range to the UK stores?
i only want to say, C.C.’s gif is full of cuteness XD
