Sometimes the simplest detail can give your wardrobe a much-needed refresh. Bold collars are a key trend this season, from pretty prairie styles to my personal favourite, the DIY add-on. It’s the perfect way to bring a little joy to an old crew-neck jumper, or simple jacket or blouse.
Adjust the contrast
A knitted collar with a strong silhouette is a great way to soften structured outerwear. If oversized isn’t your style, try a collar in a different colour for maximum impact.

Add some drama
A 70s-style wing collar is a bold choice and will instantly update a simple jacket. An add-on collar is spring’s go-to accessory.

Keep it ladylike
Oversized and pretty, romantic collars look as great with tailoring as they do with jeans. Embroidered Peter Pan collars add a feminine edge when worn over a classic jacket.
