Style Glossary
shawl collar - A one-piece collar that is turned down to form an elegant, continuous line around the back of the neck to the front of a garment. Shawl collars are used in a variety of garments, from evening gowns to cardigan sweaters. Pictured above is a dress from my favorite catalog read, J. Peterman.
Oh man. When have I coveted a denim garment so much as this? And just where the frack do I think I would wear it, anyway? No matter, that. The description alone is worth the sticker price.
