Great Thread!

I noticed this as well and it's such an easy and affordable trend! I think I like the interpretation at Marni the best, they took it a step further.

I love the Balenciaga and the Miu Miu collars. The embellished one on Emily Browning was also really nice!

You are sooo on the spot!

Someone posted a thread on Peter Pan collars as a trend for this very same season!

 

[ChrissyM]

I'm really interested in this trend actually...

I wore a collared polo shirt under a loose fitting ADAM sweatshirt that has a sort of basket-weave on the front just as a casual outfit with jeans the other day...
and i noticed a small stain on the collar when i was about to gather my things and walk out...
so, i grabbed a small silver giraffe pin that i have had forever (literally since elementary school i think) and i pinned it right over the stain and sort of embellished the collar...
and it was actually really fun and a good way to get some use out of a really cute, small pin

a nice way to add some interest to an outfit that may have otherwise skewed a bit preppy... which is so not me.
and an easy way to sort of DIY your own embellished/contrasting collar

i think i may explore further with some unstained collars as well

Awesome thread! I actually love a strong collar. Kind of makes a statement.

Here's a man repeller post about collars from Eleven Objects
http://www.manrepeller.com/2011/03/man-repelling-designer-awareness-eleven.html

some interesting ways to wear the collar...

and if Eleven Objects is out of your price range (yikes! to some of them)
then this type of collar really seems to be something you could creatively DIY with buttons and things you find at Home Depot or something...

Wow, I love the fur collars at Marni! Time to go thrifting and vintage hunting!

Love this style. Not sold too much on Marni but the Rodarte collar (2 actually!) is pretty sweet.

There is something about PeterPan collars thats so innocent, child-like and just plain sweet.

This is definitely something we are looking into incorporating into the web application for fashion designing we are working on

Brioni has awesome collars. I love wearing tops with pointy collars, they look so conservative and sharp :-P

The Marni and Rodarte collections are v. cute.

I just love this one! The collars are always such a lovely motif to develop.

As the Guardian's fashion section would say, collars have been having a bit of a 'moment' as far back as Miu Miu SS10, remember everyone going nutty about their detachable naked lady/cat collars?

The Miu Miu ones were a tiny bit twee for my taste, but I really liked the collars at Carven, which are a bit less expensive I think.

It's cute, but my chest is way too large for collars. I stay away from high-cut tops since they make my chest look larger. Too bad...
