The name of the collar is a reference to Peter Pan, a fictional character who lives in Neverland, written by J.M. Barrie in the early 1900s. I'm sure you all know the tale, but for those of you who don't: It is a fairytale about a little boy who never grows up, and the Peter Pan collar is intended to evoke the same fairytale sense of eternal youthfulness.
Several things distinguish a Peter Pan collar from other types of shirt collars:
- The edges of a Peter Pan collar are Rounded.
- The edges of the rounds may meet or overlap, or there may be a gap between them.
- The collar is typically small and unobtrusive, however, presently it ranges in size and fabrications and may (or may not) have embellishments.
- Usually, a shirt or dress with a Peter Pan collar is considered modest, since the collar hugs the neck, not leaving room for display of décolletage or cleavage.
