For my third Galaxy Essential Upgrade post I'm going to be talking about Collars. Collars are a fun way of upgrading an outfit without having to splash the cash. Peter Pan collars have been popular for a while and recently other forms of collar upgrades have come onto the market. In the form of printed collars, collar tips, collar chains, necklaces and beaded chokers. All are such simple and easy ways to use upgrade even the most basic of t-shirt or shirt. The best part about collar attachments it means you can mix and match them with other pieces and not have anything permanent! I've pulled some of my favourite collar details from ASOS, who have the widest and most varied collection of collar's I've seen on an online store, and put them into a post to show you some ways to wear in collar form!

As you can see I've shown all the collar looks with either a plain black t-shirt or a basic black shirt. This is to really demonstrate how easy it is to jazz up boring basics with a collar accessory. I've seen people DIY their own collars that are cut off old shirts, make their own peter pan collars from bits of lace or make a necktie using some ribbon from a haberdashery!

I wasn't sold on collar details originally but they have really grown on me. Now I can see how easy they are to update a boring outfit. I think my favourite look has to be the coloured collar tips and the pearl collar. The pearl collar is perfect with either black or white dresses (see this outfit here and here) and are a perfect way to make something look more dressy. I've had that collar for months now and I've worn it all sorts of places. I really like the collar chain's too, especially the pearl one. I think it adds a really nice touch to the collar, every so slightly granny-ish but in a cool way at the same time!

What are your thoughts on collar detailing? Is it a good trend or one you're going to be skipping on?
