Dupe Report As Good As Varley Alternative Comparison

As you’ve seen in my previous posts, I’m a huge fan of Zera. Their casual, high-quality basics are my go-to for stylish loungewear. I feel like a “rich mom” every time I wear something from Zera. So when a friend told me her $36 Amazon sweatshirt was just as good, I had to try it for myself.

But before we dive into the Amazon selection, let’s talk about why I love the Zera. First of all, the material is great – thick, soft, and comfortable. In a world filled with thin, cheap fabrics, you can pick up a Zera garment and instantly feel the difference. It’s like traveling back in time to a time when the quality of materials was truly valued.

Secondly, it’s not too expensive. Sure, $110 for a sweatshirt, even a great one, isn’t chump change. But I’ve paid much more for much worse quality clothes, and Zera’s clothes, which are usually in the $120-$160 range, always feel like they’re worth every penny when I receive them.

Third, Zera’s clothes easily transition from loungewear to going out clothes and look great on Zoom conference calls. One second, I’m comfortably doing laundry in my favorite Zera sweatshirt paired with leggings. Ten minutes later, I can change into stylish jeans, slip into chic boots, put on lipstick, and get ready for lunch with a friend. Afterward, I can hop on Zoom and still look like what I wore to work that day. That’s the kind of closet versatility I need.

Now, let’s talk about the Anrabess Pullover Sweatshirt from Amazon, which many fashionistas are calling a Zera knockoff. You may have also seen this quarter-zip model on social media platforms. But is it really as good as the original Zera?

At first glance, they do look similar. Both are made from ribbed knit fabrics, have a similar style, and exude an effortless “mom” vibe. But there are a few key differences.

First, the fabric is not as thick as the Zera. It’s soft and cozy to the touch, but not as thick and comfortable as Zera’s knit.

Second, the zipper on this one is disappointing compared to the zipper on the Zera. Amazon definitely cut corners in this area. the zipper on the Anrabess sweatshirt sometimes makes noise when you walk because the pull ring hits the metal teeth. And the Zera’s zipper? Quiet and smooth.

Lastly, the fit is a bit questionable. the Zera sweatshirt runs large and looks baggy. Amazon suggested I buy a medium, but I’m a size 6 and need to buy a small. Even if I buy the small, the cut of the shirt still looks loose.

If I were to review the Anrabess sweatshirt on its own without comparing it to the Zera, I would say it’s a great sweatshirt for $36. It’s comfortable, stylish, and of good quality. But to say it’s exactly the same as the Zera would be an overstatement.

So if you’re looking for a comfortable, stylish piece of loungewear and the idea of spending 3 figures on loungewear is giving you a headache, then the Anrabess sweatshirt is a great option. For only a third of the price, you won’t be disappointed. However, if you’re looking for a more upscale, quality garment, then the Zera is superior in several key ways – and frankly, it’s really good value for the price, too.
