STYLE MEETS COMFORT
Clothes for the life you live. By Karen Alberg Grossman Men’s fashion is often considered a non-sequitur in the U.S., since few American men are obsessed with clothes. Of course, most guys want to dress well but few want their clothes to speak louder than they do. Whereas women will dress to get noticed, most men prefer to blend in. Peter Millar, a menswear brand founded in 2001 and favored by many professional golfers, understands how real guys like to dress: not boring but not outrageous, stylish but most of all comfortable. The brand is famous for its lifestyle collection featuring pants, shorts, polos, sportcoats, woven shirts, swimwear, sweaters, shoes and accessories, designed in a way that makes it easy to coordinate colors and patterns. More recently, they’ve come out with a luxury collection (Peter Millar Collection), taking an elevated and refined approach to both sportswear and sartorial tailoring. In addition to using innovative fabrics (many of them Italian), unique patterns and enriched colors, much attention is paid to details, trims, and hardware. This elevated collection fits in perfectly at M PENNER, where you’ll find many fabulous offerings from tops and bottoms to vests and sportcoats. And talk about comfort! Peter Millar was among the first brands to incorporate true performance fabrics into their collection. Water-resistance, four-way stretch, windproofing, quick-drying, and easy-care properties are used for both activewear and more tailored looks. They’ve also

added an amazing “Natural Touch” fabric that balances the technical properties of a performance fabric with a soft cotton-like hand. PGA golf pro Hudson Swafford was recently asked if what he wears affects how he plays. His response: “Absolutely! When I used to wear heavy cotton polos and bulky pants, you’d see me walking down the fairway drenched in sweat. Now, in Peter Millar’s performance fabrics, I’m always comfortable, even in uncomfortable situations on the course! I love their shirts and wear them on and off the course. I love the colors, the fit, the weight. These days, I especially love their five-pocket performance pants: I can wear them on the course and then out to dinner.”
