You Could Splurge on a $695 Peter Millar Sweater, But Try This $89 Dupe First
It’s 2023… and we’ve realized at last that getting the coveted old money aesthetic doesn’t have to come from expensive “luxury” brands. Because it’s not the price-tag that makes a piece of clothing truly luxury—it’s the thoughtfulness and high-quality materials and construction that go into it.
Take Peter Millar, for example, a luxury apparel menswear staple renowned for just that. Meticulously crafted with only the most premium materials, their products are at the top of the line when it comes to high end elegance. But let’s be real for a sec: their Cashmere Flex Quarter Zip runs you $695. Who is really down to drop that much on a sweater?
So when we saw that Collars & Co. was offering their Luxury Touch Cotton and Cashmere Quarter Zip—a near identical dupe of Peter Millar’s —for only $89, we’ve never decided to buy something faster.
This Menswear Brand is Redefining Classic Luxury
Collars & Co. went viral on TikTok after a Shark Tank appearance debuting their Dress Collar Polo: a stretchy, comfortable polo shirt with a crisp dress collar on top. Even Mark Cuban decided to invest in the idea… and now Collars & Co. is a $25 million dollar business and still growing rapidly.
Press outlets like GQ, Forbes, Esquire, and the Wall Street Journal are all starting to take notice of the brand that’s revolutionizing menswear right in front of our eyes, proving that something can be top quality, look great, feel super comfortable, and not cost a couple paychecks.
It’s no surprise that the Dress Collar Polo has sold out a number of times. Thankfully, their Quarter Zips are still available. (For now…)
The Craft & Artistry Behind the “King of Quarter Zips”
Collars & Co.’s Luxury Touch Quarter Zips are made with the highest quality cashmere and cotton blend, resulting in the combination of ultra soft breathability and durability. They make it easy to look like you live in the penthouse, and they’re easy to wash. Not a common combo.
On top that, they’re wrinkle and pilling resistant, and they pair effortlessly with the Dress Collar Polo… so you can go from casual to classy to looking-like-royalty effortlessly. They come in Black, Navy, or Grey all with a white trim, or Cream with a leather trim, so they’re incredibly versatile and can bring a level of structure and sophistication to any outfit.
Quarter Zip Styling Tips That Won’t Break the Bank
We’re all about looking clean without cleaning out your wallet. That starts, of course, with finding the top quality products at a reasonable price… but we’ve got that covered already. The next step is to keep it simple with neutral colors, a nice pair of shoes, and the occasional thoughtful accessory. The possibilities are endless with these sweaters’ versatility.
A sharp collar, pressed pair of chinos, sleek belt, and a sophisticated watch go a long way when you pair them with this sweater. You can dress it up if you want to lean into the old money vibe, or dress it down if you prefer to keep it casual. The bottom line is that, in these sweaters, it’s easy to look good.
We’re Entering a New Age of High Standards in Menswear
And Collars & Co. is leading the charge with incredible products like the Dress Collar Polo and the Luxury Touch Quarter Zip. You don’t have to dish out nearly $700 just to be able to say you own something Peter Millar when you can pay under $100 and still look like you just came from an executive board meeting.
