This adorable teddy bear sweater brings preppy vibes without the designer price tag
Key Takeaways
- Sam's Club is selling a dupe for the Ralph Lauren Polo Bear Sweater.
- Choose from two different bear styles, both costing just under $18.
- Other stores like Aritzia and the Gap also offer cheaper alternatives.
With the dark academia aesthetic all the rage right now, preppy fashion and collegiate-inspired pieces define the wardrobes of Instagram it-girls and Pinterest princesses. Moody plaid patterns, thick cream sweaters tied across one’s chest and effortless button-downs come together for a look that’s clean-cut yet still somehow high fashion—and the Ralph Lauren Bear Sweater has been a staple piece when it comes to bringing this look to life.
At $398, this iconic pullover comes in both cream and navy, the focal point being an adorable brown bear sporting an American flag sweater and a pair of jeans. While it certainly emulates a very specific vibe, that price tag can be tough to justify on one single sweater—but luckily, one of our favorite warehouse retailers has us covered as the weather cools down with an adorable and affordable dupe. Here, read all about the Sam’s Club Ralph Lauren teddy bear sweater dupe, as well as other cheaper alternatives.
The Sam’s Club Polo Bear Sweater dupe is tough to beat
Sam’s Club shoppers and folks on social media have been highlighting one of the latest finds to hit stores, and the Mighty Fine Women’s Icon Sweater has people excited. With fall just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to start filling your closet with cozy layers and stylish pieces that combat the chill in the air, and for just $17.98, this Sam’s Club find is both functional and high fashion.
The store is offering two options that resemble the Ralph Lauren bear sweater. For something more on theme with the season, the blue sweater features an adorable teddy bear hugging a pumpkin. For a look better suited for Christmas time, the cream alternative showcases a brown teddy bear sporting a red and white snowflake pattern sweater.
“This adorable bear sweater is a nice heavy, warm material perfect for the winter time,” wrote one reviewer. “It runs a little big. It’s comfortable and not itchy at all. You can wear it around the house with pajama pants or out with jeans or leggings. It’s very well made and a great value!” Another user shared a similar sentiment, writing, “Super cute sweater. Love the teddy bear with a pumpkin picture. It’s perfect for the fall. It’s warm and fits true to size. I look forward to wearing it this fall.”
Ralph Lauren Polo Bear sweater dupes at Gap
If you aren’t a Sam’s Club member or are seeking out a different style, head to your local Gap for a fun alternative that’s also a fraction of the price of the original Ralph Lauren style. The Rollneck Intarsia Sweater is currently on sale for $41.99 and shares the same preppy charm as the original. A sweet brown teddy is sat at the center of the sweater sporting a red top with the Gap logo. The dark navy fabric of the sweater is perfect for the season, and can be dressed up with a fun skirt and kitten heel or dressed down with a comfortable pair of jeans and loafers.
Aritzia hops on the bear sweater trend
Aritzia is known for their high quality basics that fall perfectly within the parameters of the preppy aesthetic, and their Cotton Charm Peggy Icon Sweater comes in a variety of styles. From puppies to adorable teddy bears sporting different outfits, this $89.60 sweater is a great addition to your lineup, with the quality justifying the slightly higher price tag.
Whether you snag the $18 Sam’s Club sweater, treat yourself to the Gap option, or invest in Aritzia’s quality piece, you’re making a smart choice that brings style and comfort to your fall wardrobe without the designer price tag.
