For the ladies, Peter Millar tennis skorts and comfortable quarter-zip pullovers have become a staple. Women’s apparel also comes in a variety of colors and patterns to match a range of design tastes.

Peter Millar patterns, colors, and styles are seasonal and there is always a possibility that they may be retired before we can restock. When you see a style you like, don’t wait! New styles arrive often, so be sure to stop by and see what’s new to the Ship’s Store.
