I paired it with a dress I already had for a casual Halloween look. I'd never worn a hook-and-loop detachable collar before, so it was difficult to fasten the hook in the front and I struggled for a while, but I was able to put it on easily by hooking it behind my neck and twisting it around in front, just like with a dress. (It would have been helpful if I'd had some advice on how to put it on (lol)). It's well-made and has a luxurious feel, so I think I'll be able to use it for a long time. I'll enjoy it again next year with a different outfit.
