How to style a simple sweater with a frilled collar

How to style a simple sweater with a frilled collar. I am wearing a plain navy sweater and navy trousers which I have updated with the addition of a denim blue frilled collar. I have been meaning to buy a tie-on collar for some time. Previously I tried a few but they were too long and pointy and seemed a bit overwhelming. I finally found one that is simple and about the right size. The blue frill collar that I am wearing above comes from Next. It is also available in white. What a good idea for giving a simple outfit a lift. It saves wearing a shirt under a sweater which can sometimes appear bulky especially if the sweater is in fine wool.

Separate tye on collars have been around for a while. They are ideal if you want to jump on a Zoom call in a hurry and don’t have time to change your top. A touch of lippy and the addition of a lace or frilled collar and you are ready to go in about two minutes.

My navy trousers are from Me&E. I have had the navy tunic sweater for several years. It originally came from Cos.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

Lovely look. Very charming. So “you”. Really makes the outfit. I shall look for one here. I have a collection of tie-on collars from the 80s, though they are small ones. Always loved them. Will take a look through and see what my possibilities are. We’re seeing so many romantic pieces this Spring so this fits right in. I believe I can “romanticize” some of my plain, round-neck blouses quite nicely. Thank you for the idea!
