2011 had it’s fair share of memorable trends (think long skirts, stacked bracelets, and fur vests) but one trend that seems to be breezing into 2012 is the buttoned up collar.

Whether it’s a subtle white oxford under a cable knit, or a bejeweled creation over a LBD, collars are the best trend to hit the streets in years because of their versatility; Blogs are abundant with the sartorially-inclined finding new ways to incorporate the trend. And ladies, be ready to wear this in a myriad of ways, this trend comes with a medley of options; from prim peter pan collars, to the over sized and pointy, to great detachable varieties.

So get your collars poppin’ and be street-style ready in the season’s newest trend.
