As the weather gets a bit milder, we can’t help but get excited about all the new-season trends we’ll soon be wearing. And some of them are super easy to start wearing right now, such as the trend for big collars.
XXL, supersize, oversize, whatever you want to call them, big collars are, well, big news for SS21: on blouses, knitwear or even detachable to wear with any outfit you please. Printed, denim, frilly, lacy, leather, contrasting or muted, the big collar trend can easily be integrated into most styles, making it a great addition for any woman’s wardrobe.
An oversize collar adds a lovely romantic quality to an otherwise plain outfit, and an oversized detail instantly adds some wow factor (plus they’re perfect for Zoom meetings and catch-ups when people can only see your top half anyway).
Here are 11 pieces we’ve found that nail the big collared blouse trend that we’re loving right now.
Gimme a Collar Floral Button-Down Blouse, £20 (was £40), Nasty Gal
Although it’s a bright print, this blouse is actually a great entryway to the big collar trend as it’s in a matching, rather than contrasting, fabric.
Openwork ruched blouse, £49.99, Mango
A striped shirt can look formal, but the ruching and doily-style collar make sure this one’s anything but.

GANNI has been in the detachable collar game for a while now, with lots of fun prints and alternative materials to discover.

Collars aren’t just for blouses, and the sky blue tone of this cardigan has us dreaming of warmer days.
Embroidered collar blouse, £27.99, Zara
Lacy and feminine, this statement collar adds an extra level of romance to an already frilly, floaty blouse.
Heart print sailor collar, £20, Monki
Give it some heart – layer this detachable collar over a contrasting sugar pink jumper for serious style points.
Heart Button Frill Collar Blouse, £21 (was £30), Skinnydip
Big collars work just as well on a more structured shirt, too, as proven here.
Collared Wool Jumper, £89, Arket
Tuck this all-black affair into blue straight leg jeans for a casual weekend outfit.
Detachable Denim Frill Collar, £14, Next
We’re adding this denim collar from Next in top of white knits ASAP.
Monki Ofelia midi dress with collar detail in green, £35, ASOS
Dresses needn’t miss out on the big collar fun – the pistachio green hue is also great for spring.
Sweater vests are also big news for SS21, so why not tick two trend boxes in one with this contrasting collared one from Warehouse.
