It's all about the COLLAR...

Whether it's bejewelled, metal, lace or pearls, detachable collars are the new statement necklace!

Removable Collars offers a great opportunity to add something special to any outfit and can be incorporated into many Fall looks. 

There are many different collar styles, for example lace styles are popular and can be more subtly blended into an outfit. Another popular style are metal removable collars, they easily take any outfit to a more trendy edgy look. 

Removable collars offer a great opportunity to take any outfit to the next level. 

Below is a little inspiration on how to incorporate detachable collars into your wardrobe, courtesy of some ladies Chictopia and Lookbook.nu 

The newest addition added to my an eye for vintage etsy shop is a stunning Vintage detachable pearl collar on a silk fabric. It is beautifully detailed with small and medium sized pearl beads. 

This collar would accent any romantic look!
