Peter Pan Collars Offer a Quirky Spring Twist

Something old is something new later on in the evolving world of fashion. A recent something old turned new is called the Peter Pan collar. These dapper collars are hip, classic, studious, and quickly turning into a quirky fashion staple. These fashion delights have been stirring on the ramping runway for the past couple of years, beginning back in 2009 for Luella’s spring 2010 ready-to-wear collection, and now these collars are having a moment in fashion houses like Preen and Alice + Olivia.

The fashion face off of Peter Pan collars in Preen's spring 2012 ready-to-wear collection and Alice + Olivia's spring 2011 one show that these collars are here to stay. Preen's spring 2012 ready-to-wear line oozed feminine charm and showcased a handful of Peter Pan collars on their pastel silhouettes, while Alice + Olivia chose to mod things up, using the dashy collars as accents to their printed frocks. Even stylish stars like Elle Fanning, Michelle Williams, and Carey Mulligan are jumping on this whimsical bandwagon.
