Calling all collars!
Both cover photos sourced from Ganni.
One morning in the spring of 2019, I put together a simple white outfit to wear to the office. A Zara white blouse, a pair of red Chelsea boots, and a wide-leg, dark wash denim. But, there’s a little bit more than meets the eyes here because that Zara blouse was a perfect embodiment of two trends at the time: puffy, eccentric sleeves, and an oversized, bib-like collar.
“That’s quite the shirt!” said a bunch of my colleagues sarcastically. But the good news is here at The Ging Edit, is that we dress for ourselves.
Now into 2020, it appears as though neither of these trends has gone away, in fact, they’ve evolved into offshoots and copies that have their take. Take, for instance, the incredibly chic detachable collar that has presented itself in many forms. From the crisp, cotton collars inspired by the 16th-century government, to the colourful, knit pieces, the detachable collar is one of the easiest ways to elevate your outfit. And especially in a time where opulent styles and royal-inspired outfits are on the rise (thanks, Bridgerton), it looks like collars - be it detachable or the beloved bib shirt—are not going anywhere soon.
We’ve got a few for you to check out today, including a collection from rising brands, but also from namesake lines, too. Don’t be like my sour co-workers: wear a cute collar to your next video call —and do it with confidence!
