Lovers, to the left you will find le haute Turtleneck Sweater from Helmut Lang; on the right you will the classy Cowlneck Pullover Sweater from MaxStudio.Though the Lang lovely features a collar that is slightly more slouchy than the MaxStudio marvel, and is constructed out of a wool/nylon/mohair blend as opposed to the soft wool/nylon/acrylic mix of the MaxStudio; for a mere $58.00, in comparison to the $345.00 needed to take the heather gray Helmut home, it is the ideal way to add a luscious touch of winter to your wardrobe – on a cozy budget!
Now the question remains…will you be thrifty, or suckered into putting on your spendthrift cap?
Fashionably yours!

MaxStudio actually looks more cozy.
Ohh looks so comfy! I love big turtlenecks in the winter... it's freezing these days!
I gave you an award on my blog today :)
I think Max might have the cozy down on this one.
Oh please, sign me up for at least 3 of the Max. I have such a hard time finding sweaters in a long length. These look perfect.
I think I like the Helmut Lang one better. I have definitely been trying to buy quality instead of quantity lately.
Well winter is almost over so I'd go with the cheaper one! It looks so warm!! =)

I am a thrift addict but this is a classic and I would definitely save the money for the Helmut lang. The neck has a beautiful 'fall'.
I know in 10 years I will be pulling this one out of my closet.

if only we have winter here, i would buy the left one in a hearbeat!

Both are so similiar I would go with the Maxstudio one. I love how your able to find such great deals each week.
I am hoping that soon a great pair of wide legged jeans will pop up in your comparisons. hint hint.
I usually tend to go for the "cheaper" version of things with clothes. Sometimes the differences are very subtle unlike shoes and handbags :)
Ooooooh fabulous find, darling!

Oh Thrifty all the way!! I love Max Studio and honestly, $345 for a sweater is kind of a crime!!

I think the slightly less quality fabric is more than made up for by the massive price difference!
Love it - the sweater looks so comfy! :)

Helmut Lang is so much nicer, the collar is more slouchy

i'll be trifty today, the maxstudio sweater looks so comfy!
Love them both! I've been wanting something like this :)
So cute and amazingly similar! I haven't jumped on the sweater dress bandwagon yet but if I do I will check out MaxStudio!

I like how the Max Studio sweater is a little looser than the Helmut Lang one, and I don't like to spend $300 for a sweater. Hope you have a great day, E.
i remember this helmut lang turtleneck-sweater dress. i think it fits much better than the less expensive version.
I like the shape of the Lang, but the Max one looks cozier. Then again, considering the H. Lang dress isn't pure wool, I don't see paying the high price tag!
Both look luxuriously cozy! I like the neck of the Lang better, but I'd go with the Max Studio for the price tag.
Not exactly cheap but much cheaper!! Looks so cosy!

Gorgeous! I have a similar one from Ted Baker!

The helmut is just SO much more beautiful. I'd rather have none if I couldn't afford it!
I buy all of my sweaters stupidly oversized in foul ludicrous colours from charity shops :) They're just so much more playful and I can always wear them as winter dresses with boots. I really appreciate price comparison posts, but personally both of these sweaters are staggeringly dull to me.
This is gorgeous and looks SUPER cozy! I love.

You have no idea how much I want to be wrapped up in that cozy sweater dress right now. It would be heaven!
I can't even look at those sweaters! Today is 40ºC here in Rio de Janeiro!

Definitely the Max Studio. I love big comfy sweaters like this with otk the knee boots, and leggings. It's so chic, and easy to wear.

That's a great price for the Max Studio...I love it!
Have to say I like the looser cut of the Max Studio one better. The other looks like it might ride up when I sit down. Not good!
The Max Studio one looks kinda bulky so I'd go with the Helmut Lang!
I actually like the Max Studio one better b/c it looks more cozy!! :)
honestly, I'm leaning more towards the Max Studio sweater :)
xoxo
I think Helmut Lang would be the winner here! I believe in expensive sweaters (not to say I wouldn't love the Helmut Lang one on sale...)
I have a sweater similar to this and it is so so cozy. I highly recommend getting one!
this is right up my alley--long and comfortable--and the MaxStudio price totally speaks to me.
So love the thrifty one.
The Max studio sweater is hawt! I like!
I love the warm dress. and max xollection is awesome .
amazed again, you find such similar items!
The sweater is so great! I just hope I have one like that which I could show my friends and relatives :)
I will go with the Helmut one because i looks like it has better shape!
Sweater dresses are perfect for this kind of weather. I definitely love the Helmut Lang one. I prefer the neck on it.
Who doesnt love to put on a nice, big cozy sweater! Love the grey color. Happy Weekend and Valentine's Day!
It reminds me of the grey sweater I wore yesterday! But mine has 3/4 length sleeves. I think I will forgo either of them for that reason. But again, Erika - you have a knack for finding fashion on the cheap!!

i wish my weather would allow me to wear this sort of turtleneck !
I think I might just have to splurge on the Helmut Lang this time!!
I like both actually, and they look really similar, so I would not mind either.
Lang for sure! The collar is so much nicer, and the fit looks much better too. Can't skimp on quality! :)
