Collared dresses combine crisp structure with feminine flair. From the classic shirt‑dress collar to sweet Peter Pan and sleek mandarin styles, these dresses are:

  • Effortlessly polished—ideal for work, weekends, or smart‑casual events.

  • Face‑framing—all collars draw attention upward, accentuating your neckline.

  • Highly versatile—dress them up with heels and blazers, or down with sneakers and denim.

Tellar’s mission is to help you fit and style them beautifully using our free sizing tool and expert styling guides.
