There have been several collaborations with Animal Crossing: New Horizons lately, the most recent of which is the Animal Crossing UNIQLO clothing collection. Released on the UNIQLO website in late June, this collaboration includes in-game apparel and a selection of Animal Crossing-inspired designs that fans can buy and wear for real.

Other recent collaboration projects have included stuffed animals from the real Build-A-Bear Workshop and some in-game villagers, and furniture sets based on Sanrio characters. As with the Sanrio-inspired Nintendo Island, players can visit "UNIQLO Island" as part of a new crossover.

The UNIQLO collection includes T-shirts, towels, tunics and shopping bags. The clothing is available in unisex, women's, children's and baby sizes. All designs are inspired by New Horizons and feature familiar faces such as the Able Sisters, Dodo Airlines and Tom Nook. The items in Animal Crossing UNIQLO are similar to their real-life counterparts, meaning players can dress their islanders to look like them.

The best UNIQLO items for animal crossbreeding: Celeste Tunic

One of the most subtle items in the collection, this short sleeve tunic features just a small pattern on the chest and lettering on one sleeve. The project focuses on Celeste, Blathers's sister, who visits the players' islands as shooting stars aim to deliver astrological themed DIY recipes. Accordingly, shooting stars appear next to Celeste in UNIQLO tunics.

Best UNIQLO Items for Crossbreeding Animals: Able Sisters T-Shirt

The black and white aesthetic of this short sleeve tee makes it a discreet choice for fans who don't want to overdo it. It showcases various icons of the talented Animal Crossing sisters, as well as various in-game clothing items and text ads for the island's tailor shop. The font used in the design appears to be the same as in New Horizons.

UNIQLO's Best Animal Crossbreeding Products: The Nook Inc. Pocketable Bag

If Animal Crossing fans are looking for a new carry-on shopping bag, look no further than this one on Nook Inc. inspired shoulder bag. The design of the bag is simplistic, but incorporates the iconic symbols and characters that New Horizons is famous for, and also includes a clever financial reminder - “Make the most of your Animal Crossing bells” - as part of the printout.

Fans should keep an eye out for the final release date at the end of June in the coming month for collaboration items available for purchase online, in stores and in-game. As the game is constantly being updated, players should also be wary of additional collaboration opportunities that may be announced for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
