I agree that it could be cool for a vintage librarian type vibe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2046271 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 12:42:21 +0000 always trying 2046271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too, but I do not like my shirts buttoned up to the top.&nbsp; I like more unusual accessories though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2046268 Sun, 21 Jul 2019 12:26:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2046268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look and would consider wearing it myself if I wore collars. I think it has a sort of edgy Victorian vibe. If you like it, why not try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2046061 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 19:09:52 +0000 Janet 2046061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, they have a distinct look that serves certain styles — retro, buttoned-up preppy, quirky/eclectic... I say if it appeals to you, try one out. I’m not a huge fan of buttoning shirts all the way up *for my personal style* so I doubt I’d ever wear one, but I can see how it might work well for a different style. I can’t say I’ve seen one in the wild for decades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2046022 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 17:25:41 +0000 Liesbeth 2046022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for the encouragement!<br /> I've not heard of cardigan clips to this day, though they sound like something this character would wear as well.<br /> @Rachylou: no idea, I wouldn't wear with a soft collar myself and haven't suite figured out how they attach yet.<br /> @Katarina: the look you describe sounds heavenly, but alas a full suit is too formal for all aspects of my life now. Would love to see you rock that though.<br /> @jessikams: you are right about that, accessories languishing. I wouldn't spend too much on such a thing though, but in all honesty I still need to find that perfect white shirt first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045829 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 11:10:22 +0000 Jessikams 2045829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s a great idea. In my own life, I find that I don’t tend to remember these kinds of “extras” and they languish in a drawer. But if you think you would use it- in lieu of a necklace, say— go for it! Have you tried soft neckties too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045809 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 09:18:29 +0000 Mainelady 2045809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look like fun. As Joy mentioned, they remind me of cardigan clips that many girls wore back in the 50s. I have one that my grandmother gave to me. It has blue butterfly clasps and pearls instead of a chain. I only ever wore it once. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045808 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 08:44:01 +0000 Katerina 2045808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. New to me, I have never seen it on anyone before. I think it will make a great accessory to a classic white shirt, dressy pants and oxfords, as you describe it. I don’t see it like costumey, as it is quite subtle. Yet interesting and unusual. Rather a retro detail, which I personally am very fond of.<br /> I could also picture it on a white shirt combined with a modern dark suit (menswear inspired longer blazer) and a satchel with metallic hardware. Like an interesting detail in a minimalist outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045777 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 05:31:49 +0000 Anonymous 2045777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These remind me of cardigan clips that were very popular in the 50’s. They held a cardigan on if you just wore it over your shoulders. Someone gave me a pair as a birthday party present that were shaped like cat heads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045743 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 03:23:42 +0000 Muffin 2045743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a cardigan chain (that ClaraT mentioned above) in the 90s that I used to love wearing. I think a collar chain could be really interesting with your described outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045729 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 02:28:37 +0000 rachylou 2045729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never heard of such a thing. Fascinating! I wonder if it would work on a soft collar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045719 Sat, 20 Jul 2019 01:15:54 +0000 Staysfit 2045719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like it, you should get one. Unique accessories make personal style interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045628 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 21:48:22 +0000 smittie 2045628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! It would suit you very well. The one you posted has a bit of an 80’s vibe—fun.<br /> I would not wear this because I always leave my shirt collar unbuttoned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045613 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 21:12:57 +0000 Anonymous 2045613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never worn one and don't foresee the likelihood but while it might be without context and even a little eccentric on me, I think it would merge so well with your style that it would just provide a little polish and shine. Great finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045611 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 21:03:35 +0000 Anonymous 2045611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Accessories are so personal. It's impossible to critique them on anyone else- well, out loud, anyways &nbsp;- because we all have our own ideas about what looks good . &nbsp; &nbsp;I can't say I've ever seen anyone wearing one, but could imagine it on someone who favours a vintage-y costume-y look. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045610 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 20:58:49 +0000 ClaraT 2045610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, though it’s not my style. I like that it’s sort of feminine/masculine: a delicate chain (feminine) but worn on a buttoned-all-the-way-up shirt (more masculine). Very striking, yet not exactly flashy. The link to the Glee character reminded me that there is such a thing as a cardigan chain—love those too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-collar-chains#post-2045535 Fri, 19 Jul 2019 18:26:13 +0000 Liesbeth 2045535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I’ve started watching Glee and I noticed this character Emma Pillsbury wearing something I understand is called a collar chain. Though I don’t relate to her preppy librarian style, I thought the idea of such a collar chain was very appealing. Etsy seems to sell some, and it’s clearly an item not very common in regular retail. I have also never seen one irl being worn. What do you think? Have you ever worn a collar chain? Are you drawn to it, repulsed by it or left completely neutral? Would it work with my forties tomboy outfits (worn with a white shirt, dress pants and oxfords) or push them into costume territory?</p> <p> Here’s the character from Glee if you don’t know it. And a picture of a style I’d like (in silver): definitely more of a stylized version.</p> <p><a href="https://pin.it/hf47mffhpf24sf" rel="nofollow">https://pin.it/hf47mffhpf24sf</a> </p>
