Collars

Collars are a type of clothing accessory worn around the neck, typically made of fabric or leather. They can be found in a variety of styles, from simple and understated to ornate and decorative. Collars can be attached to shirts, blouses, jackets, and coats, and can be worn for both functional and fashionable purposes. Historically, collars have been worn for a variety of reasons. In medieval times, collars were often used to denote social status, with the size and ornateness of the collar indicating the wearer's rank. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, collars were an essential part of men's formal wear, with detachable collars being a popular option that allowed for easy cleaning and replacement. Today, collars are still a common feature of clothing, with a wide range of styles available to suit different tastes and occasions. From the classic pointed collar on a dress shirt to the trendy oversized collars seen on many fashion runways, collars continue to be an important element of fashion and style.
