Peter Pan Collars: A Grown-Up Look for Any Age

Back in the '50s, Peter Pan collars were all the rage for changing the look of a blouse or dress.  Peter Pan collars recently took the fashion world by storm again when they were featured on the Louis Vuitton runway, where they made a great sensation. These collars can change a mundane dress or shirt into something retro, feminine and fun.
Peter Pan collars are an awesome look for any generation. Here are some case in points.

Recently, Mason Disick's grandma, the Kardashian family matriarch Kris Jenner, wore an exquisite Peter Pan collar with a velvet tie on national television:
 
Meanwhile, the young stars Elle and Dakota Fanning were featured in Vogue wearing similar styles...


...and Pippa Middleton also donned a dress with a Peter Pan collar.


And if you needed any further evidence that Peter Pan collars are au courant for any age group, look no further than Exhibit A below: the ultimate fashionista Victoria Beckham modeled the look in London recently.



This trend isn't limited to just the Peter Pan style, however. In fact, collars of all kinds are cool right now. One fabulous take on the trend is the collar-style necklace. Dannijo makes some unbelievable styles, including this totally over-the-top, handmade crystal-embellished beauty:
We also love the collars made by our favorite local designer here in SW Florida, Dixie's Daughter. We've previously featured their fabulous fasincators on our blog and we are also big fans of these exquisite Chinese brocade collars:


You can just button one of these collars on and change up any look.

Dixie's Daughter's collars can be special-ordered for $25 and up. Dixie's Daughter makes a diversity of collar styles and certainly can custom-make the collar of your dreams; simply send an inquiry to dixiesdaughter@aol.com and let them know we sent you!
