Surely this isn't your first time seeing one of Fall's fun trend of detachable collars. Adding a collar to anything from a loose knit sweater to even a simple tee shirt can create a whole new look to add to your Fall wardrobe. Collars with hard elements, like studs + spikes, can give feminine pieces and edge, while adding a clean white collar or one with lace is a no brainer for a sophisticated + preppy look! The best part about this trend is that options are endless and I promise once you make just ONE of these amazing collars, you might not want to stop! You're going to be shocked at how simple + easy these fabulous accessories are to create!
Let's go.
What You'll Need:
- Old/thrifted button up shirt (I've found that men's shirts work best as the collars are a little larger than women's shirts and have more of a relaxed fit. Also try and choose a shirt with a crisp structured collar.)
- Fabric shears
- Flair!
STEP 1: (You may press your shirt's collar before starting if necessary.) Start by cutting along the seam below the front button. If you cut carefully and closely enough, finishing the edge will be unnecessary as you will not even be able to see it once the collar is pressed down.
STEP 2: Seriously....you're all done.
These collars are simple + chic all on their own, but if you really want to personalize your new accessory.....LET THE FLAIR BEGIN! Add studs (like I did in the image below), buttons, glitter, fabric paint, gems, rhinestones, lace....ANYTHING! Get creative with it and show off your personal style!
Now aren't you glad you didn't go splurge on this amazing addition to your new Fall wardrobe? :)
Alright. I just might have to try this one out!
