MINI TREND: COLLAR POP

Thankfully when we suggest you collar pop we're not talking about double-layered pastel polos from your worst fratty nightmares. Nay, today the pop of collar is about the popping of contrast color. In the past, white collars have been on our radar, achieved best in chillier months as a layering piece. For spring, color seeps in and contrast-collared blouses transition to shorter-sleeved variations.

Peter Som perfected the artful balance of layering such blouses with v-neck cut textured jackets and scoop-neck floral tops. Olivia Palermo and Dianna Agron took to the look beautifully, and bloggers Susie Bubble and Christine sport popping contrast collars in a striking tangerine and bright fuschia peter-pan collar respectively. Faux collars like these from Wonderment are a quirky one-step way to convert any blouse into a contrast look. Check out our other finds to get the mini-trending look for yourself!
