It’s characteristic of fashion to recycle and be back all the time with some impressive innovations and a certain modern vibe. The things that were very fashionable in our grandma’s times revive again and become the hottest trends of our days. One of such trends is Peter Pan Collars, which start gaining a great popularity in the modern fashion industry again.
Collar is a piece of clothing that gives a finished look to it. Different models of collars play different roles, like protecting from the extreme cold and wind, embellishing the costume, creating a trendy and stylish image. Peter Pan Collar is the type of collars with rounded ends, lying tight to the neck. It first came into fashion in England, after the publication of the book by Barry J. in 1904 and the performance of his play.
The ‘60s inspired Peter Pan Collars are the hottest trends this summer and they continue to be trendy in the upcoming fall season too. From Louis Vuitton, DKNY to Temperley and Topshop, River Island, there are lots of fashion retailers, who have reflected this trend in their collections for fall/winter 2011/2012. They come in various versions, from prim collars to oversized and detachable styles for every taste and budget.
If previously only vintage-trend-lovers Alexa Chung and Carey Mulligan were spotted wearing Peter Pan Collars, now almost everyone, from Hailee Steinfeld to Michelle Williams, prefer this trend and not only for the daily basis, but also to special occasions and glam photo shoots for popular magazines.
Peter Pan Collars look so simple and clean, yet so chic, cute and feminine. If embellished with sequins, beads and stones, they can add a glamorous touch to your look. For summer you can wear this style with your sunnies and sandals, while in winter they can be matched with opaques and stylish boots. To inject some fun and interest, you can go for a collar in contrasting color with your entire outfit. Thin black and white or a colorful collar with nice patterns can be equally stylish. To add a modern twist to your look, pair this hot trend with modern accessories.
So chic and easy to wear, Peter Pan Collars become the ultimate trend for fall/winter 2011/2012. All you have to do for updating your fall look is to loosen your wallet and get chic instantly!
