A lesson in: Shirt Collars

One of the most overlooked and underappreciated aspects of a dress shirt is the collar. With several different styles to choose from, a collar can be suited to the shape of your face and help bring your overall look together. Today we give you a lesson in: collars Point collar – A point collar is the most traditional and popular turndown collar on dress shirts. The spread on a typical point collar shirt is close together. Point collars are well suited for men with a round face since it helps to elongate the shape of your face. Because point collars tend to swallow your tie, its best if you're sporting a skinny tie.

Button down collar – A button down collar is commonly found on casual button down shirts and is the least formal of all collar types. At the end of each collar point is a small buttonhole which fits a small button on either side of the front of the shirt. Because it’s a less formal look, button down collar shirts are typically worn without a tie. One important rule of thumb: always keep the buttons fastened on this type of collar to avoid looking sloppy.

Medium or semi-spread collar – A medium spread collar is similar to a point spread, the difference being the size of the spread between the two collar points is slightly wider. In addition, the length of the collar points is slightly shorter. This is an incredibly versatile collar choice and helps to broaden out the chest and shoulders. Also, ties can be knotted any way when a shirt has this collar type.

Wide spread collar – Much like the name suggests, a wide spread collar maintains a longer width between the two collar points than a traditional point collar. The points of a wide spread collar are also much longer. A wide spread collar is definitely a bold choice so it’s best suited for someone who’s quite confident in a suit and is ready to take some fashion risks.In addition, ties worn with a wide spread collar need to have bigger knots, like a full or half Windsor.

Mini collar – If you’re looking for a modern twist on a traditional point collar, a mini collar is a great option. With its smaller points, a mini collar pair swell with a skinnier tie and also produces a slightly more casual look. Men with smaller faces should opt for a mini collar as it helps to make your shirt look proportioned to your head.

Tuxedo collar – A tuxedo, or winged, collar is the way to go when it comes to formal attire. Unlike traditional turndown collars, the points of a tuxedo collar stand upward and point horizontally producing a winged shape. Tuxedo collars are often worn with bow ties, where the collar points are tucked behind.
