PRESENCE.
a life more than just routine, work and work outs. Our mission is to create more flow & freedom in the everyday.
ORIGIN STORY
We’re childhood best friends turned co-founders of Aces Wilder, Juliet Chen and Jenny Zhang. Three years ago, we quit our finance jobs to set out to solve a problem we’d seen for years: men having fewer expressive options than women. Guys often defaulted to basic tees and shorts, even at social gatherings not because they lacked style, but because the options felt uncomfortable, impractical, or out of place.
Since then, we’ve been hyper-focused giving men the same freedom and confidence in apparel that women enjoy: curating an ecommerce boutique, personal styling men, and creating content for a growing community of thousands. These conversations gave us a clear picture of what men really want: clothing that’s easy, versatile, and bold enough to feel proud in.
We took everything we learned and poured it into designing the absolute best pieces of apparel that can flex through every part of a busy modern man's typical day and night, including socializing and going out. After two years of fabric research, print testing, and global sourcing, we created The Anywhere Collection.
But Aces Wilder is more than clothing—it’s a mission. We want to close the style gap between men and women, making self-expression not only accessible, but natural. We're here to turn up the volume on men's style and to help men live life to the fullest: show up more vibrantly, move more authentically and connect more deeply.
JULIET SEA CHEN
I honestly never wanted to be an entrepreneur. I had a thriving career in NYC real estate PE, and on the side, I've always loved fashion and throwing events. However when I came to understand the wide disparity in society and in the market between men and women's clothing self expression, I felt like I HAD to do something about it....so Aces Wilder was born! My dream is for it to be just as easy for guys to look and feel stylish as it is for women.

JENNY ZHANG
I've been friends with Juliet since we were 8! We've always had fun creating things together - everything from our high school dance performances to our Burning Man camp.
I spent over a decade working in strategy and managing large work streams at a bank and at a fintech startup before Aces Wilder. But I've always loved making things into reality, I even taught myself how to sew and craft at a young age.
