One designer, two tops: the Dior piece you love has a perfect UNIQLO dupe
Jonathan Anderson designed both: a Dior half‑zip at NT$54,000 and a UNIQLO lookalike at NT$1,490. Same mood, 30x cheaper—which one would you pick?
Since taking the helm as creative director of Dior’s men’s, women’s, and haute couture collections, Jonathan Anderson‘s collaboration with UNIQLO has drawn even more attention. The partnership enters its ninth year in 2026, and its newly unveiled Spring/Summer 2026 collection, with its light British feel, already has us ready to shop. The best surprise? We found a Dior runway lookalike at UNIQLO.

The latest UNIQLO and JW Anderson collection is filled with eye-catching pastels, including this half-zip pullover. Made with yarns of varying thicknesses, it has a crisp, textured finish, while the relaxed fit is comfortable and ideal for layering. It also brings to mind Jonathan Anderson’s first show for Dior: the Spring/Summer 2026 menswear collection.
Look 51 from the Dior Spring/Summer 2026 menswear show features a similar piece: a deep green half-zip top. The stitching beside the chest zipper differs slightly, as do the piping details and logo treatment. The UNIQLO collaboration features a flag-style logo embroidered at the left hem, while Dior’s half-zip places its logo prominently below the front zipper. What could be a more perfect affordable alternative?
The UNIQLO and JW Anderson collaboration launches February 27. This half-zip pullover comes in gray, black, blue, and other colorways, and is priced at NT$ 1,490. Dior’s zip-neck sports top is also available in blue and is priced at NT$ 54,000. If you have your eye on either one, keep an eye out.
