👉 The answer is: "Tawny Collar" is a term used to describe someone who's dressed like someone from a 1920s or 30s movie, complete with a tuxedo collar and white shirt. It's an unorthodox way of saying 'white-collar' in the UK, which means being part of the middle class.
Here’s an example sentence that uses 'Tawny Collar' humorously: "Your boss told you to wear a Tawny collar at work, but what does it mean?" I said. "It's like your boss wanted to show off how smart he was by wearing a white shirt and a tuxedo collar," replied the secretary, with a smirk. The punchline is that 'Tawny Collar' is a perfectly acceptable term used for anything from a white dress or a white sweater, but not if you're trying to impress someone in an upper-class office setting.
