Always at the vanguard of fashion design and innovation, particularly when it comes to silk, Jim Thompson has developed a new groundbreaking fabric, engineered to deliver the durability and quick-dry functionality of nylon, but combined with the superior softness and sensual sheen of silk.
The AQUASILK® Collection introduces an entirely new approach to swimwear with a high-performance blend of 58% nylon and 42% silk. Featuring an integrated inner cooling mesh and quick-dry fabric, the material ensures all-day comfort both in and out of the water.
It’s always nice to be ahead of the cool-curve, so being in Phuket this high-season gives the fashion minded male the opportunity to be the first to adorn these stunning garments, hot o. the shelves.
Effortlessly transitioning from swimwear to casual wear, the collection o.ers a stylish, laid-back vibe without compromising on comfort or quality…whether you’re on the beach, enjoying a brunch or even dancing the night away.
The AQUASILK® Collection comes in a range of distinctive solid hue colours in navy and orange complete with a distinctive embroidered elephant motif, and patterned prints with the Japanese origami-inspired Star Shadow, presenting a sophisticated yet playful take on resort fashion, all incorporating a subtle Jim Thompson logo, so associated with Thailand.
This versatile swimwear range can be worn with a variety of design tops for a modern daytime lifestyle look or equally at home as casual evening wear. For example, the 100% breathable cotton Stripe Cotton Tank Top, available in green and orange hues, coordinates harmoniously with the perfectly matched shorts.
For this exclusive collection Jim Thompson has partnered with Seven Clean Seas, a global organisation dedicated to reducing ocean pollution. With every AQUASILK® purchase, 10% goes towards supporting initiatives to eliminate ocean plastic pollution.
The AQUASILK® Collection is available in Jim Thompson stores across the island
