Types of Neck for Shirts

The neck is one of the key elements that helps you define the style of your shirt. Each of us has different tastes and preferences, so it is essential to select the type of collar that makes us feel best and that will distinguish the standout element of your shirt.

To help you decide, consider the type of model, your physical characteristics, comfort and style, formal or informal.

To make your choice easier, we have divided the existing collars into four main categories: Italian collar, French collar, button-down collar and Korean collar.

Italian collar

The neck par excellence in the Italian style. Due to its versatility it is suitable for any occasion, to be worn open or with a tie.

This collar is now considered more versatile, quite formal; it is perfect when paired with narrow ties with small knots but is not suitable for wearing with a bow tie.

French collar

Always the height of elegance, the French hills are characterized by very open tips. Curiously in France it is called “all’italiana”.

The French collar distinguishes the most contemporary shirts, but at the same time more refined. Its modern and youthful style is appreciated in all contexts and is often combined with both casual and elegant shirts.

Button Down collar

The casual collar par excellence. The soft tips are held in place by the buttons making it also suitable for sports shirts.

The button down shirt should never be worn with a tie or bow tie; on the other hand, it is perfect to wear alone, perhaps combining it with a simple pair of jeans or even enriched with a jacket as long as it is sporty.

Korean collar

Neck inspired by fashion and oriental tradition. Depending on the fabric and color, it is suitable for trendy, casual, up to the very elegant shirts.

The mandarin collar is not a real collar, as it has no internal core and flaps, the sails. It is casual but elegant at the same time, worn in the office under a jacket or on the beach with a pair of shorts.
