peter pan collars
peter pan was the boy who never wanted to grow up, and wearing the sweet rounded collar named in his honor assured a childlike innocence, whatever your age. the simple, round collar became known as the peter pan collar after the style worn by the boy in j.m. barrie’s 1904 hit play, peter pan.
whether on a plain cotton shirt or trimmed in frilly lace, the peter pan collar continues to represent the innocence of good girls, and the fantasy of faraway lands.
i can never resist peter pan collars. usually i just grab a ticket to neverland and button up!

Peter Pan collars, my first love! I used to envy girls who had them for school uniforms while the rest of us had run-of-the-mill pointed ones, ack.
Yesterday, I waltzed into Topshop to fuel my Laura Lees addiction and one of my purchases was a blue sailboat-printed dress with pockets, complete with her signature rock-and-roll patches. And and and…a very sweet white Peter Pan collar. Check it out, you might like it!
