(Don't) Pop Your Colla!


You definitely don't want to be popping that collar up if it looks as pretty as this.

Big trend right now- detailed collars. Here are a few different ways you can achieve this really amazing and stylish look!

Sweet and simple- no buttons up the front, rounded edges on the collar, flat circular studs.


Add a little more edginess- This shirt is sheer and buttons up the front. Those studs are pointy, so definitely be careful when getting close to someone- it may hurt!


Denim- vest or jacket. Having those added studs on the collar add a touch of fun and shiny-ness.


If you're not a huge fan of the embellished collar, or would rather buy a plain blouse that you know will match anything and never go out of style, try adding a chunky necklace. The detail will resemble a collar to achieve a similar look. The collar is left bare, but it still gives that little extra something in the same area. Here I took a plain blouse and added this silver necklace.



This trend can also be turned into a fun DIY project. Take any shirt or jacket, buy some studs from a craft store, and either poke them into the shirt, or glue them (depending if they have the little prongs, or are flat). It will end up being cheaper, is a great way to update or completely change the look of a shirt you might have stopped wearing, and gives you the freedom to make it look however you want!

Get creative, show off your style.
