Probably more with people who are designers.</p> <p>Does anyone have any ideas of blogs or sites where I could look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-shirt-collars-narrowing#post-242250 Sun, 31 Oct 2010 05:18:39 +0000 Marley 242250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-shirt-collars-narrowing#post-242067 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 23:28:07 +0000 Late Bloomer 242067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been trying to search for an answer on this and am just getting nowhere. Someone must be discussing it. I just can't get the right search phrase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-shirt-collars-narrowing#post-241850 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 15:37:36 +0000 Becky 241850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember back in the late 80s and early 90s when I (as a teen) wouldn't wear some button-downs because the collars were the width of several years before, rather than the newer, narrower width. I'm sure they're still cycling back and forth, like everything else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-shirt-collars-narrowing#post-241847 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 15:31:31 +0000 Late Bloomer 241847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What got me to thinking about this was a suede jacket I'd loved and worn a lot for a while. Then last spring when I was changing over my closet I realized I'd hardly worn it the last winter. I was about to give it away when I ran across this jacket at Ralph Lauren.<br /> <a href="http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4328760" rel="nofollow">http://www.ralphlauren.com/pro.....Id=4328760</a></p> <p>It's at a much higher price even on sale than I would want to pay and I have other jackets to wear now. But looking at it I tried to figure out why it looks so great and my old jacket just didn't look right anymore. They are both zippered. Mine was a little shorter but not dramatically. Then I realized it was the collar. My jacket's much wider collar looked outdated.</p> <p>These little changes must sneak up on us. But my thought is if I could predict how things will change it would help me in buying basics like pants, jackets and shirts that would last longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-shirt-collars-narrowing#post-241792 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:59:53 +0000 Michelle 241792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see Angie's feedback on this, simply because I'd never thought of it. Great question! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-shirt-collars-narrowing#post-241764 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 07:37:43 +0000 Late Bloomer 241764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I buy something like a basic white button front shirt I want it to last a while. I usually get Lauren or Foxcrot but I got a shirt at a local boutique in the spring. I'm finding that one just doesn't feel right to me so tonight after thinking about it and not going to sleep I got up to measure the width of all my collars. I found the RL are the narrowest, then Foxcroft but the blouse I got locally has a much wider collar. </p> <p>How do you know what to buy so it will last a few years, be classic in a sense? For example collar width seems to be going narrower. Are there other things I should watch for? </p>
