Perry Ellis Quarter Zip FAQs

What is a quarter zip?

A quarter zip is a pullover sweater or jacket featuring a zipper that extends from the collar to mid-chest. This design allows for easy layering and adjustable ventilation, making it one of the most versatile pieces in men’s wardrobes.

How should I style a quarter zip?

Quarter zips work across virtually any setting. Layer over a button-down shirt with dress pants for the office, pair with chinos for smart-casual occasions, or wear with jeans for relaxed weekend style. The key is fit: look for a quarter zip that sits cleanly at the shoulders without excess bulk.

What’s the difference between a quarter zip and a half zip?

The difference is in the zipper length. A quarter zip’s zipper extends roughly 25% down from the collar, while a half zip reaches the mid-chest. Quarter zips typically offer a cleaner, more refined look that works well in professional settings.

How do I care for my quarter zip sweater?

Most Perry Ellis quarter zips are machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. Turn the garment inside out before washing, and lay flat to dry to maintain the shape. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric and cause shrinkage.
