I’ve always been a huge fan of the peter pan collar. I admire the ability to transform an old fashion trend into a more modern and sophisticated look. The collar creates a somewhat innocent, child-like and conservative appearance, which is why I find it so appealing. I love putting a twist on clothing items that are so simple and “safe.” It’s exciting to get out of your comfort zone with fashion; go ahead and wear the converse with your sundress and heels with your overalls! Same goes for the peter pan collar. It’s a classy, old fashioned style that can be updated in the RIGHT ways:
RIGHT:
- Add balance. Wear the vintage-style peter pan top, but hip it up on the bottom with some updated skinny jeans or leather leggings.
- Make it sexy. Buy the dress with the peter pan collar, but pair it with some red high heels or a sexy (not sleazy) mini skirt.
WRONG:
- Don’t overdo it. A little touch of vintage is cute and trendy, but don’t go digging through your grandmas old clothes and throwing it all on to make an outfit.
- Don’t go all slutty-schoolgirl by making a chic, elegant style into a trashy good-girl-gone-bad ensemble.
