Here are the common types of shirt collar you need to know.
Spread Collar |
|
|
A spread collar can be worn with a tie and is versatile enough to be worn for business, formal or casual occasions. The word #spread’ refers to the space between the collar points. Owing to the curve this is only available as a fused option. Length of collar point 3” |
Classic Collar (2 Button) |
|
 |
This is an extremely common and traditional collar shape. A tie works very well with the Classic Collar as it can accommodate a large knot. Length of collar point 2.5” |
Button-down Collars |
|
|
|
Self-explanatory – the collar buttons down attaching the points directly to the shirt. As this collar is more casual in style, it can be worn with or without a tie. Available only as a fused option. Length of collar point 3” |
Button Under |
|
|
|
Similar to the button down but the points are attached to the shirt from under the collar. Only available as a fused option. Length of collar point 3” |
Cutaway Collar |
|
 |
Similar to a Spread Collar, a Cutaway Collar has a space between the two points, but they point outward instead of down. The Cutaway Collar is an excellent choice to wear with a full or half Windsor tie knot, however it is equally suitable to be worn without a tie. Length of collar point 2.7" |
Straight Collar |
|
 |
A collar with long pointy edges, usually worn with a tie as the extra-long collar points can look a little odd without one. Length of collar point 3” |
Tab Collar |
|
 |
This is a classic collar with two small tabs in the middle of the collar points. These connect beneath the necktie pushing the knot up and out. Length of collar point 2.5” |
Tunic/Collar Band |
|
 |
This is a collar with a small standing band, usually buttoned, in the style worn with detachable collars |
