Definition och Betydelse av "shawl collar"

What is a "shawl collar"?

A shawl collar is a type of collar that is characterized by a continuous, rounded, and draped front that extends from the neck to the hem of a garment, typically found on cardigans, sweaters, and jackets. Unlike a traditional collar, which is usually folded and attached to the neckline, the shawl collar is integrated into the body of the garment. The shawl collar can be either wide or narrow and is often made from the same fabric as the rest of the garment, although it can also be made from a contrasting fabric for visual interest. The shawl collar is a classic design element that can add a touch of sophistication and elegance to a garment and can be worn casually or formally depending on the style and fabric of the garment.
