1950s Ladies Blouse Collars
The varieties of 1950s tailored tops
was largely tied to the style of shirt collar. Here are some of the
common styles:
Classic collars–
Pointed collars fastened to a small V neckline. They were often in white but
pastels, plaids, checks and thin stripes were common too. They were the most
tailored or menswear looking 1950s shirt.
Boat necks- A fancier French name was Bateau. They
were large oval necklines popular in knits that could be pulled overhead.
Collars were attached to them but never stayed put very well. The “Sabrina”
Bateau had two bows on either shoulder.
Peter Pan collar- Small round collars perfect for layering
under a sweater. They
flipped out over the sweater and layered on top. Small and dainty, they were a
softer alternative to the point collar.
Peasant top–
Bohemian chic tops with gathered necklines, puffy sleeves and folk
embroidery made the peasant top unique. They were common in the 1940s too.
