In the previous article, I introduced the main sleeve types of Qipao. Today, let's explore the details of Qipao collars. Don't underestimate the collar's role. A well - chosen Qipao collar can visually enhance and beautify, highlighting the elegance and classical charm of Qipao. It's the starting point of a Qipao, and a perfect beginning sets the tone for the rest. So, let's look at different Qipao collar types.
Round - Cornered Stand - Up Collar
The round - cornered stand - up collar is the most classic and common type, named for its soft and rounded edges. It suits most people, being highly inclusive while retaining the elegance and delicacy of Qipao. There are high and low variations. The high one has a stronger three - dimensional effect, looking more crisp and decisive, and easily showing the slender and reserved temperament of Eastern women. The low one has a gentler and more well - behaved feel, fitting younger, casual styles.
Square - Cornered Stand - Up Collar
The square - cornered stand - up collar has right - angle edges, exuding a strict, dignified, and grand feel. It suits many, but those with square faces should be careful as it may accentuate the squareness of their contours.
Water - Drop Collar
The water - drop collar has a water - drop - shaped hollow design below the neckline. With a bit of skin exposure at the chest, it adds a touch of subtle sexiness and charm compared to other Qipao collars. It also offers more design sense, allowing the Qipao to show unique tenderness and a romantic vibe, and adding lightness and airiness to the overall look.
Bamboo - Leaf Collar
The bamboo - leaf collar is named for its hollow shape resembling bamboo leaves. Similar to the water - drop collar, its slender lines can elongate facial lines and reduce the weight of the face shape.
V - Neck Collar
The V - neck collar has a V - shaped structure and is synonymous with sexiness. It breaks the traditional wrapping and stuffy feel of Qipao, having obvious advantages in releasing neck space, elongating neck lines, and adjusting face shapes.
Tube Collar
The tube collar is a relatively new and fashionable type, named for its cylindrical structure, usually with a side opening on the right. During the Republic of China era, it was a Western - style fashionable choice for younger, lively, and cute ladies.
Wave Collar
The wave collar has distinct curved wave - like edges, giving it a romantic and soft temperament with strong feminine charm, adding relaxation and liveliness to the Qipao.
