With numerous collar styles to choose from, it can be a bit
daunting to choose the perfect shirt collar jacket style for you. Here are three guidelines
to follow when in doubt.
When in doubt, go for shirt collar jackets
If you don’t want something specific and just want to wear
something normal, shirt collar jackets are the way to go. This collar
is not especially small or large and has good, wearable proportions. It goes
nicely with both casual and formal wear. You can wear it with a tie or with a
casual shirt. Shirt collar jackets are by far the most popular collar style
available and you just can’t go wrong with it.
People with shorter necks choose collars with shorter collar bands
If you have an especially short neck, you are better off
with average or shorter collar bands. Collar band is the part of the collar
that goes around your neck, so its height determines how high the collar goes
up your neck. Great options in this category include Semi Spread, English
Spread, Straight Point and Londoner collars. You shouldn't go any smaller than
the Richard Cutaway collar, which has a ¾-inch collar band.'
People with longer necks choose collars with longer collar bands
If you are very tall or feel that you have a longer neck,
you should opt for a collar with a slightly longer collar band like the
President Spread collar. The President collar is just slightly longer than the
average collar, so it won’t look too massive, no matter your height. If you
would prefer getting something really tall, consider the Milano collar style.
