Usually found in women and girls clothing. This collar invokes innocence and is simple yet appealing to women of all ages. It has rounded edges where the edges of the rounds can meet, overlap or leave a gap between them. This type of collar is modest because it hugs the neck and doesn't leave room to show off any decolletage or cleavage.
