Children of the 80s and 90s will remember: Peter Pan collars were THE trend accessory at the time. This autumn the classic is experiencing a brilliant comeback and is causing our fashion hearts to become extremely excited.
What used to give every children's outfit the last, ultimate cuteness factor, is finally arriving in the adult world this year: Peter Pan collars are back and conquering the hearts of fashionistas. With square instead of round edges and in the XXL version, the retro trend transforms every outfit into a fashion statement. But be careful: When it comes to styling, you need a sure instinct. We'll show you how to style the new-old fashion accessory now.
This is how the retro trend becomes a cool eye-catcher
What goes with the Peter Pan collar? A lot! As an entry-level variant, it is easiest not to overdo it and to wear the collar as a key piece of a look. Stylist Pernille Teisbaek combines blue jeans and subtle jewelry with a collar blouse – perfect for carefully feeling your way around the trend.
There are pluses for the fact that the Peter Pan collar can be used on both hot and particularly cold days. Pernille's daring combination of skirt, crop top and lace collar serves as inspiration for summer temperatures.
Those who prefer it more casual can swap skirt for shorts. Masculine details such as the clear cut of the trousers and sweater over the shoulders give the look a grown-up charm.
The undisputed favorite look of influencers: Peter Pan collar with knit! So that the outfit doesn't look too much like Granny, we combine leather pants, jeans or chunky boots with the collar blouse. We take a look at the latter from the Munich blogger Christina Minderer.
In general, the XXL Peter Pan collar requires a bit of courage to wear. If you really want to let it rip and add an exclamation mark to your look, you can combine trendy accessories such as a bucket hat or unusual jewelry with your collar.
By the way: to join the fashion hype, you don't have to buy extra blouses with XXL collars. There is now a huge selection of separate collars that you can easily style under a sweater, cardigan and co.
