Conversations with PAR

'From Kitchen Table Sketches to a Vision Realised'

Where It All Began

Two cousins. Ages 11 and 14. One dining table.
That’s where it started — scribbling clothing designs on paper, bouncing ideas off each other like it was second nature. We weren’t thinking about market trends or margins. We were just creating. It felt natural — like we knew, even then, that we’d build something real.

Fast forward to now, and here we are: the first chapter of PAR.

The Name, and Why It Matters

The name PAR isn’t just a word. It’s a statement.
It comes from the idea of men and women being on par — not separated by style, but brought together through it.
We’ve always been drawn to the blurred lines between masculinity and femininity. Not soft, not hard — just confident. And our designs reflect that. Wear them oversized or fitted, sharp or relaxed — PAR is yours to style, not ours to define.

Why Menswear?

We grew up in a big family surrounded by men — brothers, uncles, cousins, dads — all of them with different tastes, different energy, but one common challenge: finding timeless, well-made pieces that felt both effortless and intentional.

We always found ourselves helping dress the people we love. But we also felt the lack of options: either over-designed or under-considered.

So we built the solution we wished existed.

Designing with Intention

Everything we create is built around how you live — not how the industry tells you to.
The fabrics, the cuts, the details — it’s all considered, but never overthought. Our pieces are designed to move with you, whether you're dressing them up, toning them down, or layering them into your everyday.

Classic silhouettes. Elevated finish. That’s the PAR way.

This Is Just the Start

This is the first of many Conversations with PAR. We’ll use this space to tell our story — the people, the process, the drops, and the energy behind it all.

Thanks for being here.
