A small detail with the power to transform an outfit – that’s the role of collars in 2025. They are becoming a true fashion statement.

Designers are playing with bold colors, unique shapes, and contrasting materials, making collars the centerpiece of their collections. From sharp collars on structured shirts to oversized accents on outerwear, brands are offering a wide variety. The season’s favorites include romantic jabots and elegant collars, as seen in the collections of Saint Laurent and Valentino. These designs epitomize the return of bourgeois chic, promised to be one of the defining trends of 2025.

Collars don’t always have to be part of the garment, they can be purchased separately and styled as standalone accessories. Prada showcased a classic beige trench with a pink statement collar, while N21 adorned a green bomber jacket with a leopard-print collar.

Incorporating statement collars is a great way to experiment with your style. However, it’s essential to maintain balance and skip heavy jewelry to avoid overwhelming the look.
