This type of collar style is called a crossmuffler collar. Usually we're going to see this on, OK well not usually. Usually, you shouldn't say usually in fashion because it can be anything you want, why would you want to make it the usual? The whole point is to be different. That is the entire point of your drawings is to create something that is intrinsically you and something that is new. So in my head what I see and what I would have this be on without thinking too much about it. This is like a sweater that has, say it's a cable, cable sweater. I don't know how to draw cables, but real chunky cable knit sweater, and then the crossmuffler part of it is usually like ribbed. It would be sweater fabric, whatever that is called, wool or knit, sweater fabric. But it's going to be different. And then this part of it is usually going to be like a cotton placket on top of it, so it would all be like in the same color but just different fabrics and then what this, the muffler part of it and the fact that it crosses, the muffler part of it means that if this were rolled up it's going to encompass and it's going to create warmth for your neck hence the muffler name. But take it where you will.
