These collars were the ultimate finishing touch to a rich outfit in the 17th century. Many shapes were reserved specifically for men or women, yet the refined material was enjoyed by everyone who could afford it. Flat collars, for example, were primarily a male accessory. Sometimes they show remarkably delicate lace patterns, full of curls and flourishes.
