The Peter Pan Collar is one of the most commonly seen right-now elements in street fashion. Everyone loves it because it makes girls look young and fresh, with a taste of vintage. Peter Pan Collars are great because they can add that extra element of cuteness to any outfit and work extremely well for college girls!
Trick of this Trend: All you need to do is pair this element with other trends like oxfords, polka dots or even see-through clothes, and it will balance well with something you might consider too fashionable or out-there for a school day. Peter Pan Collars are everywhere and thus, hard to choose from. Today I want to say something about how to choose the right type based on your needs and body shape. The first two pictures are from the first page of lookbook.nu today. See, this is HOW popular it is! (Photo credit: http://lookbook.nu/ )
This kind of low-neck and wide Peter Pan Collar works well for everyone, especially for curvier girls.
On the other hand, these crew-neck and longer shaped ones shown below work better on slimmer girls. This is because the coverage of neck and collarbone will only make the upper half of your body appear extremely unbalanced, if you have those womanly curves.

To do: wear your Peter Pan Collars with anything, and everything! Be creative!
To avoid: wearing sweaters with Peter Pan Collars is something to watch out for; it can add the look of extra weight – if you’re curvy! (Photo credit: http://lookbook.nu/ )
