Jack Wills

Located on Leighton Road, this huge Jack Wills is well away from the hustle and bustle of Causeway Bay. Its exterior, with the large shop windows and signature gold lettering, is recognizable from about a mile away.
This outlet is the first and the biggest outlet in HK. Because of its size, it’s really well stocked — you’ll be able to find a good range of summer dresses, formal wear and accessories here. I love how spacious the store is — there’s plenty of walking space and unlike many stores in HK where everything is so packed you just feel claustrophobic, this particular Jack Wills has the luxury of space and is very nicely laid out. Upon stepping into Jack Wills from its main entrance (there’s another entrance that is closer to Times Square), you will notice that there are two floors and from there you can either walk up or down. The female section and accessories used to be on the higher floor, but a couple of months back they flipped it and now it’s on the lower floor. I guess because there’s slightly more floor space downstairs? I’m not sure.
The style at Jack Wills needs no introduction — it’s more geared at the younger (and richer — the stuff here isn’t cheap!) population. It’s really collegiate-​y and very preppy. If you’re into more Asian fashion and are inspired by Japanese and Korean look books, this probably is not what you’re looking for. I kind of regard Jack Wills as a British Abercrombie & Fitch, and as with A&F, the prices here can run quite high. The plainest of t-​shirts are at least $ 180 and you can expect to pay upwards of $ 600 for one of their iconic summer dresses. To be fair, the cutting of their dresses is extremely flattering and they come in all sorts of prints and colors, but I honestly don’t think they’re worth the price.
Jack Wills has one of the coolest changing rooms I’ve ever seen — it didn’t use to be this way when females’ was still on the floor above, but ever since its relocation, the changing rooms are actual bedrooms, complete with Jack Will’s signature pink and navy wallpaper and a bed! The last time I used their changing rooms was back in I think April, so I don’t know if that’s still how it is, but I was certainly shocked when I was led into a bedroom when I asked to try something on!
Overall, Jack Wills is a nice place to do some window shopping. It’s spacious, the staff are polite but not pushy and it never gets crowded. The prices run pretty high so other than a pair of shorts I’ve never actually bought anything here, but I’ll still come by if I’m in the area just to take a quick look.
