Not only your formal shirt would create an everlasting impression but the right collar choice would be icing on the cake. How many of you guys had ever paid attention to the collar while picking a formal shirt for you? The percentage would surely be very less. If a little attention is paid to the collar, you could create a more distinguished appearance for you. As already said that men’s fashion clothing is expanding, we find four collar styles in formal shirts for men. The fours styles are pointed or straight, spread, tab, and wing collar. One could even spruce up an old suit with a new collar. Pointed or Straight collar: The most safe and popular choice to make, you would find them in almost all men’s stores and what is the best thing they go with every face shape but look more flattering if one has a fuller face.. This is the basic collar style for formal shirts. Available in wide range of colors you could pick them up for any of your shirt. Tab Collar: To prevent the collar from splaying or shifting, tab collar comes with tabbed button near the Adam’s apple. So now you could have crisper and better defined collar points and you are ready to create a more formal appearance. This style could be perfectly chosen for dressier events. Not available in much colors, do not be disappointed if you do not get one for you. Try on some other style. This type of collar complements the round shaped guys but also goes well with narrow look. It makes the jaw line appear more clean and sharp. Spread Collar: For the guys with lean and narrow faces, the spread collars are just perfect. You might have noticed this style in two tone shirts. For e.g. a blue shirt with white accents for collar and cuff would look more appealing with the spread collar. Buttondown Collar: Much like straight or pointed collar, this style also looks perfect with nearly all face shapes. The buttondown collar shirt got its name from the buttons used to hold the collar’s tip in place. Always make sure that the collar tips are buttoned otherwise it creates a quite messy look. You could well club them with your formal shirts accompanied with or without tie. Winged Collar: Worn with mainly tuxedos and very formal shirts, this type of collar style would give you a more sophisticated and extremely formal look. Wear them with very formal dress or for a business meet and get that right look. You could wear them up with collarless formal shirts and create a classy look for you. So next time when you are shopping for your formal shirt, do look at the collar style.
