Couture for the College Girl: Cool Collars

I never thought I’d return to the peter pan collar of my childhood years until I saw Rachel McAdam’s take on this schoolgirl classic. Combining pretty lace with structured leather, this dress by Lover is an unexpected combination of whimsical and chic. If you’re looking for a more affordable version of this trend, consider this coral cheetah inspired shirt by Modcloth or sleeveless bow tie shirt by ASOS.

The ladylike peter pan collar reemerged in the fall as a new trend, yet still continues to inspire fashionistas everywhere. Paired with colored skinny jeans or peeking out from a blazer, it can create the perfect outfit for school or work. It can also be worn under sweaters or dresses for a fun, feminine look.
