Pop That Collar

I get a lot of questions about shirt collars and what kind of tie, if any should be worn with them.  I came across this and i thought it would be the best way to answer those questions.  I picked three types of collars to review and the one thing they all had in common was – occasion.  Any of these collars will suffice for any occasion.  As you can see….there is a wide variety of collars that range from spread collars to contrast collars.  My personal favorite is the club collars because it gives me that unique look.  It’s unlike anything you see out there so it makes you stand out.  This type of collar is good for all occasions but it looks best when wearing it with a skinny tie or slim tie. Thanks to GQ for the image.

The second type of collar that i like is the pinned type.  I like it because it puts the knot of your tie in front and center, the pin accentuates your tie. This can also be worn for any occasion. Try wearing it with a regular tie……it looks much better.

The final collar that i like is the mandarin collar.  You obviously can’t wear it with any tie so buttoning it down might not be a bad idea.  I would not wear it for a job interview but any other occasion will do.
