Spring 2012: 8 Trends to Look for & Buy Now #4
There was certainly no confetti surrounding my New Year’s Eve party this year, but there was perhaps some potato chip crumbs. Whichever was the case for you, it’s time to dust them off, vacuum them up and move on to a year that is sure to fantastic all around – especially in the world of fashion.
Spring Trend Must Have #4: Cool Collars

What to Buy:
The look of the classic white collared shirt is back, but this time around, designers have added a twist; taking the classic to another level and I love it. It’s one thing to wear a gorgeous shirt, but when there is the added splash of a beautiful collar, it’s hard to resist trying. The floral trend for Spring is certainly not shocking, in fact, it is quite expected. What is fresh this season is how and where the floral is used.
Equipment is the go-to line for beautiful silk and crepe de chine button up shirts for women. Their amazing fits, use of color and now the addition of floral collars makes them even more swoonworthy. This bright pink button up will be amazing right now with some high waisted red pants , but come this Spring, a white pencil skirt will add a level of sophistication.

The Embellished Collar is another way to add a cool collar look to your new Spring purchase list. Tibi did an amazing black collar with classic white shirt look that is jaw dropping. The details are not only a gorgeous addition to the shirt, but also add some sparkle an jewels to every look – no need for lots of accessories with an embellished collar. Available at Net-a-Porter.
There are alternatives if you are looking to spend a little less or want more opportunities. Two of my absolute favorite ways to wear a cool collar is to add it myself. Detachable collars are a great way to add some edge to a more feminine crew neck tee or a manderin collar shirt or dress. Whether you like a sweet, peter pan collar, a metallic silver pointed tip collar or a black leather collar, you have to give this option a try.
And jewelry as a collar is just one more reason to add some spectacular designers to your collection. DANNIJO is a must have jewelry line and their collar versions are beautiful and worth the money.
The Runway for Spring 2012 was abound with options from designers ranging from Proenza Schouler, Rachel Roy and Karen Walker and many more. I can’t decide which one I like best!
