Just a short post on a trend I'm currently infatuated with: the peter pan collar. While doing some research on the subject I came across fashionpreserve.blogspot.com 's tidbit on it...
"Online sources are scant as regards the precise origin of the term, but it's safe to say that this style had its heyday among girls and teens in the 1950s, when, worn peeking over the neckline of a cardigan, possibly with a set of starter pearls, it was emblematic of chaste good grooming."
While the current interpretation of the collar does give off a sort of "good girl"vibe, it's also just whimsical and fun. To me, it's another interpretation of a menswear item (oxford shirt) by us girls. We rounded up the edges, making it soft and feminine while keeping the look classy and refined. And doesn't it just compliment the face so well? At first reserved for the indie-cool fashionable girls like Alexa Chung and Carey Mulligan, peter pan collars have now entered the fashion world, invading runways, clothing lines, and our favorite celebrities.
