Next, we have collars! Collars had a brief moment in the limelight in the 2010s, but now they’re coming back stronger than ever. The resurgence is thanks to the rise in cottage core fashion, a nod to prairie dresses and their large frilly collars. An easy way to jazz up a sweater or dress, collars are a chic addition to any outfit. Don’t feel limited to the classic white; match them with your face mask for a coordinated look, or select one made of beautiful pearls. It’s up to you! Whether you go for a bold bright color or more subdued hue, there’s no going wrong with a collar.
