A lot of things go into planning a trip, especially when travelling abroad, a lot of preparations have to be done. Where to stay, where to eat, where to go sight seeing. Then there’s the question of what to wear.
Fortunately, worldwide known brand UNIQLO has come up with a web app called UNIQLO Travel Planner, wherein you can find recommendations depending on when, and the weather forecast of the place where you are going to.
The app gets its data from https://www.wunderground.com/ which is a pretty good source for weather forecasts.
The app is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is enter your travel dates, and the location. It will then come up with recommendations on which items you can bring depending on the weather forecast for your specified place. It also lets you see the list of their branches.
While you can click on an item to check which colors and sizes its available in, I think it would’ve been better if the app actually showed which branches the item is available in. It would’ve been also nice if there was a wardrobe builder of some sort wherein you can mix and match items and see how they’d look.
In general though, the app loads quite fast, works well, and is also optimized for mobile. Certainly, this is a handy tool for the well-prepared traveller.
