The 1600s are back, baby. At least, in some ways. Though we hope that many things from that time period remain in the past — like the plague and child labor — there’s one trend from ye olde days that’s been making an, ahem, oversized appearance on runways and retailers’ racks these days. Puritan collars, those bulky, oversized collars that have square flaps in the front and back, have been seen on runways at Dior and Chanel, and now the trend has trickled down to everyday retailers from Old Navy and Macy’s to Nordstrom and even Amazon. Whatever you call them — puritan collar, Protestant collar, Peter Pan collar, pilgrim collar — this oversized neck accessories has a chokehold on the fashion industry this season.

Goldie Mini Dress – Leopard
Maeve Collared Puff-Sleeve Blouse
Antiquarian fashion, in general, has been trending in recent years, with clothing details like bows, laces, ruffles and ballooning, oversized sleeves filling our drawers and racks, so it was only a matter of time before collars went supersized as well. These days you can find collars with ruffles, scallops, embroidery, lace, ties and even double collars on everything from tops and blouses to dresses, jackets and trench coats. You can even find, well, just the collar itself so you can turn any top into a fancy collared top without the commitment.
Ready to party like it’s 1699? Below are some of the puritan and pilgrim collar tops you can find at top retailers like Damson Madder, Ganni, Nordstrom, Amazon and more.
