Remember how Soviet schoolgirls were sophisticated by decorating a banal brown uniform with original lace collars. Now we have remembered such an unusual accessory again - now the collars are worn with a wide variety of clothes. We will figure out what types of these original jewelry come in and what they can be worn on to create a harmonious look.
Overhead collar features
With the help of a collar, you can add a twist to a wide variety of outfits, but there are two main purposes of this accessory:
- replacement with expensive necklaces and necklaces;
- creating the illusion of layering in clothes.
Embroidered with rhinestones and sequins, collars will decorate an evening dress no worse than jewelry, and a simple stand-up collar will become a visual replacement for a shirt worn under a jumper.
Types of removable collars
Like the “stationary” collars, their false counterparts are divided primarily in shape.
1. Turn-downs. Such accessories have a back closure with which it is easy to adjust the size. They look simple and cute, but at the same time provide a lot of opportunities for a variety of decor.
2. The stand. Creates the illusion of a shirt, fastening most often on the front with a button or button. The size of this accessory is selected in accordance with the circumference of the neck.
3. The mantle. These collars resemble necklaces, as they have equal width along the entire length. They are usually used as evening jewelry, decorating with rhinestones and beads.
Collars can be richly decorated (over the entire area of the fabric), partially decorated (along the edge or in the corners) or even without decorations (plain or with print). Among the decor options are:
- rhinestones;
- metal rivets;
- feathers;
- sparkles;
- Chains
- beads;
- metal spikes;
- lace;
- beads;
- embroidery;
- sequins;
- fur or leather inserts.
You can distinguish false collars with rounded or sharp corners, textile and knitted options, as well as accessories made entirely of beads.
How to wear removable collars?
- If you combine this accessory with clothes that already have a collar, make sure that the removable part completely overlaps the “stationary” one.
- The collars look the most advantageous in combination with plain clothes of a simple cut without an excess of decorative details.
- Collars are suitable for clothes regardless of the shape of the neck: tops with a deep neckline, blouses with a round or triangular neckline, and even knee-highs.
- When choosing a collar, pay attention to the oval of the face. Chubby girls are recommended accessories with sharp corners, and ladies with an elongated face - stand-up collars, rounded models of turn-down collars and mantle collars.
6 reasons to purchase a patch collar:
1. An elegant collar with an abundance of decor is an excellent replacement for expensive jewelry and jewelry.
2. To add rigor to the everyday pullover, a monophonic stand-up collar will help - now you can safely put on a sweater in the office.
3. Many cardigans mean that one more thing should be worn under them - a blouse, shirt, top. However, tight-fitting models are best worn directly over the laundry. Here the collar will help out, creating the illusion of clothes worn underneath.
4. To purchase several different models of collars is much cheaper than a whole set of clothes. Now you can change the image every day, saving a budget.
5. An overhead collar is a great way to give a second life to an annoying thing. An old dress or sweater will look completely new.
6. It is not always possible to go home and change clothes if you are going to a party or celebration after work. Putting a collar on the patch bag, you will transform the outfit in seconds.
In addition, it can be noted that such an accessory is an indicator of your sense of style and desire to follow fashion. The laid on collar will add a twist to any look, making your outfit unique.
