Choosing the “right” shirt collar is one of the most frequent questions we get (at least when picking out a shirt). Although it’s a decision that can cause some anxiety, picking the right shirt collar is easy.
Shirt Styles : French
The classic, can’t-go-wrong, works-with-every-face-shape collar. The timeless French collar is not quite point, not quite spread, but manages to subtly frame different face types very well. It works well in business, paired with a four-in-hand or half-Windsor knot, or as a casual shirt unbuttoned on the weekend.

Shirt Styles : Italian
This traditional spread collar style is best suited for gents with angular or “diamond” shaped faces. The extra width of the spread, combined with a larger collar point, help accentuate horizontal proportion.

Shirt Styles : Cutaway
The cutaway collar is the more extreme version of the spread collar, with wider space between collar points and thinner points. This works best for a tall, slim gentleman with an oval shape – the thinnest of the collars, the cutaway accentuates a slim build, while the wide spread adjusts the proportion of a longer face.

Shirt Styles : Penny
The penny collar first achieved fame at England’s Eton College, where it was first developed as a unique alternative to the point collar, which would distinguish its wearer as a member of the college. However, far from being a stuffy button-down, the penny collar is an unstructured alternative best suited for a smart-casual look.

Shirt Styles : Button-Down
A true American classic, the button-down was first introduced by Brooks Brothers in the late 19th century. This collar style works best with round faces, adding vertical proportion to better help frame the face.

Shirt Styles : Hidden Button-Down
As with the button-down shirt, the hidden button-down is good for round faces, and especially gentleman who do not like to wear a tie with their shirt. Other collar styles can often splay outwards too much if not paired with a tie. The hidden button-down keeps your collar standing upright in perfect position all day long.
