Wow, this title is the second Carly Rae Jepsen reference in a week…I’m starting to think I might have a problem. However, something I don’t have a problem with is the collar trend I’m seeing everywhere. When properly executed, it gives you an unexpected mix of glamour and prep that looks undeniably cool. With this look, I went for buttoned-up casual with a white silk shirt and cuffed denim shorts. The gold necklace and polished gold hardware on the bag play off each other, and the lace-up boots add a rugged contrast. The final result? A polished collared ensemble with some signature edge.
