Founded by then 23-year-old Peter Williams in 1999, Jack Wills was established as a single shop in the seaside town of Salcombe in England. The brand has always been recognised for its heritage-inspired classics with a modern spin. It has since expanded to be a global brand with over 80 stores around the world.

This year’s Spring/Summer collection, titled “Times of Change”, once again echoed the brand’s proud British heritage, reflecting the carefree, insouciant and laid-back attitude of the British sartorial style.

Layering and functionality take the reins in this collection, featuring versatile yet elegant Ready-To-Wear pieces with vibrant accent hues, intricate prints, and floral details. As far as outerwear goes, the hoodies, bomber jackets, denims and parkas remain clean, uncomplicated, but stylish.

The Jack Wills’ Spring/Summer 2018 Collection, now available at www.zalora.com.ph on desktop, mobile site and the mobile app, comprises of over 200 selected pieces of womenswear, menswear, and accessories, with prices ranging from PHP1,399 to PHP7,349 for men and PHP1,049 to PHP12,349 for women.

The collection is also available to other ZALORA countries in the region such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
