Players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons can bring the game’s fashion to life thanks to UNIQLO’s upcoming clothing and accessories collection. On Friday, the Japanese store announced that a massive Animal Crossing-inspired collection for kids and adults will launch later this month. In addition to the real-life collection, UNIQLO will add in-game versions of the clothing, so fans can match their characters in style.
One year after its release, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is still going strong as Nintendo’s second best-selling game. Naturally, brands across the globe have cashed in on the island life sim’s popularity by creating their own products inspired by Animal Crossing‘s beloved characters. In the last few months alone, players have rushed to get their hands on a ColourPop x Animal Crossing makeup collection, Animal Crossing Sanrio Amiibo cards, and an Animal Crossing Build-a-Bear collaboration. Countless brands have also taken advantage of the game’s design modes to create in-game clothing collections and island attractions. Animal Crossing players will gladly take any chance they can get to represent their favorite video game.

The latest opportunity for Animal Crossing fashion comes from Japanese retailer UNIQLO. As Siliconera reported, UNIQLO unveiled a 22-piece collection of apparel and accessories for adults, children, and infants. A variety of T-shirts, tunics, and shorts in the collection feature characters like Isabelle and Celeste, as well as quotes from K.K. Slider, Wilbur, and more. Accessories include two-way towels and tote bags featuring the Dodo Airlines logo, an image of Gulliver on the beach, and a pattern of characters’ faces. UNIQLO’s collection will be available online and in-store. Those who purchase three or more items will even receive a free surprise.
The Animal Crossing collection launches only in Japan in April 29, with a Singapore launch on May 24. It’s not clear yet if the collection will come to UNIQLO U.S. In the meantime, U.S. fans can still join in virtually. On April 29, UNIQLO will publish a Dream Address for players to visit an island transformed into a UNIQLO store, complete with a custom design portal for players to download in-game versions of the real life T-shirts.
This is a fun collection for Animal Crossing fans of any age. There’s a wide variety of clothing to choose from, and there’s something for everyone in the family. The fact that players can match with their characters just makes UNIQLO’s collection even better. Fashion fans likely won’t want to miss this Animal Crossing: New Horizons collaboration.
