In the late summer 2011, I have witnessed this whole 'fashion turn-over' thing (as what they call it). I've been wanting and wanting (and still wanting) to blog about this, but I cant seem to decipher on why it has become a trend. What's the purpose, really? Famous fashion bloggers, lookbookers, stylists & celebrities are spotted wearing detachable collars. I thought it would stop as we leave the year behind, but more and more bloggers are joining the trend this year, 2012. The million dollar question is- "Does it look good on everyone?" Sadly, no. Not everyone can pull off such trend. From the runaway to Japanese/Korean stores and online shops, I'm just hoping it would NOT be that mainstream. The classy and elite look would fall down with the sight of a young girl, wearing a detachable collar in a weird, wrong way.
Here are some bloggers/lookbook-users sporting the said trend. (I do not own these photos)
Apart from the mind-bulging craze, collars of different shapes and sizes are also in for this year. Peter Pan collars, baby collars, sharp-edged collars, extremely gigantic collars, collars on a dress and the list goes on. This trend is my personal favorite. Automatically look innocent and add a sudden whim of princess look! Somehow, it's a mystery how it looks good on everything. Wear it as a classic dress or just pair it with shorts & jeans- you can never go wrong with it! (I do not own these photos)
PERSONAL PICK! I've been obsessing with these Zara dresses in different colors! It has rounded white collar... Cant remember when, but I know I've been style stalking this friggin dress for a long time now. Can I just have you in my arms already??? (I do not own these photos)
E JOINS: But of course, I wouldn't want to be out of style. I made a DIY collar too!! The design was inspired by Romwe's beaded collar. I was a playboy bunny last Halloween, so I used my old detachable plain white collar and sewed some gigantic pearls on them.
