Jack Wills University Outfitters

Overhyped? Over Priced?
Before a Jack Wills store opened in Leeds i quite liked this brand.
But ever since the local opening i cannot wear anything i purchased from here in public without the risk of seeing someone quite a considerable number of years younger than me wearing the exact same hoodie etc. Which is quite embarrassing.

Also, it seems Mr.Wills has gotten quite up his own arse about his clothes, which are to be honest.. nothing spectacular or out of the norm.

A pair of shorts, which to me looks just like a pair of JW sweatpants cut with scissors, will set you back £39, which isn't that steep.. but considering a full pair of sweatpants from JW is £59 its clear we are all being conned.

Looking at their new Summer collection they have made some good editions, floral dresses, white dresses.. more fashionable steps forward. But at £89 a pop i think i will be showing them two fashionable fingers, as there is no way on earth i am paying that price for something that looks like it could have been bought from any high street store. (Above: Aisling dress £89)



Also what the eff is with the sunglasses they have brought out? The sunglasses are lovely don't get me wrong, but at £129 and £149 i would rather pop on down to Harvey Nichols and buy a pair of Moschinos! (Above: Castree sunglasses £149)



My overall verdict Mr.Jack Wills is that your clothes are boring, and i would much rather have something more stylish at £89, than a floral sack, Goodday to you.
