collars up


pve design illustration - for JMcLaughlin Fall Advertisement
"Collars up" ~ This fine gal is sporting a fun casual fall look - a shirt with the collars "popped' - a boyfriend vest in merino wool and a generous "Aken" tote constructed of wool felt billiard cloth. Grosgrain ribbon touches give a fun preppy accent to a gingham shirt. My illustration was in Quest Magazine for J.McLaughlin.
Do you wear your collars popped or not?

I pop my blazer collar more than I do a blouse.
I love this illustration; all the colors go so well together. Very sophisticated in a casual sort of way. Well done again, Patricia!

I always love your illustrations and today love the one for J. McLaughlin.

I love the look of the popped collars on others but always feel a bit over the top when I do it myself. I must work on popped collars and pashminas this season!

Have a great day!

My daughter's entire class popped their collars last week in honor of their teacher's birthday. I never actually have a collar to pop--can't bear collars!!

Miss Cavendish said...

Oops--not true! I'm always popping the collar on my trench coat and jacket . . .

Another fabulous illustration! I pop my collars on polo shirts and some jackets. This was so "in" back in the 80s when I was in high school and college.

Love your illustrations!

I like the idea of popping up my collar, but end up feeling silly, so down they go!

Debra said...

Yup- collars have been popped for years-I feel naked any other way-and boy do I sometimes get teased! Oh well... Love the illustration PvE. J. McL are sooo very lucky to have you.

Love your illustration and love JMcLaughlin! Not a collar popper, but do like the look.

Amelia said...

Absolutely to your pop the collar question...my husband does too. He was gifted a t-shirt once that read "My other shirt has its collar popped."

Beautiful illustration!
