Oversized blouses with XL collars have been with us since the spring – but is really picking up speed again in the fall of 2020!
Where did it come from?
The Peter Pan collar came into fashion at the beginning of the 20th century. It became popular mainly because of a theater play in 1905, in which the leading actress Maude Adams played the figure of Peter Pan and wore a two-part white collar with a colored costume. From New York, where the play was shown, the collar found its way into the closets of American and English women. It became more and more popular and in the twenties, it was then worn by women to high-necked dresses.
