With growing customer affinity for LifeWear, the brand is well-positioned to enter Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton and Langley before the end of the year, making UNIQLO accessible to even more Canadians.

LifeWear clothing is designed to make everyone's life better. It is simple, high-quality, everyday clothing, thoughtfully crafted with life's needs in mind and is constantly evolving to modern life.
