Just like the necklines of women’s garments, collars do also have many different fashion terms and styles. Below is the list of fashion terms and styles (of women’s collars) that I manage to gather around the world wide web. If you are a fashion stylist, fashion enthusiast or even just a fashion games addict, you will greatly learn something new at this article that will give you a great advantage in the fashion world. So here we go.

Collars are classified as hand, high stand, and low stand. Within each type there are several styles defined by the shape of the collar’s outer edge.
