Choosing the Right Shirt Collar for Your Suit

Choosing the Right Shirt Collar for Your Suit

The shirt collar is more than a finishing touch. It is the foundation of balance, proportion, and presentation in tailored dressing. When worn with a suit and tie, the collar frames your face, anchors your tie knot, and ensures your lapels sit with precision.

Common Collar Types

Spread Collar: Versatile and modern, pairs well with wider tie knots but may sit loosely under structured lapels.

Button-Down Collar: Relaxed and casual, best reserved for sport coats or off-duty tailoring.

Cutaway Collar: Bold and contemporary, though often too dramatic for classic business or formal settings.

The Classic Pointed Collar, TOPLAGY’s Preferred Collar

For tailored looks, the classic pointed collar offers unmatched refinement. Its elongated shape tucks smoothly beneath jacket lapels, creating an uninterrupted line from face to chest. The classic pointed collar is also the most versatile. It suits all face types and creates harmony between the lapels and traditional 8–9 cm wide ties, making it the ideal choice for timeless suiting. This design keeps the collar from shifting or flaring and ensures a sharp neckline all day. Whether styled with a slim four-in-hand or a substantial Windsor knot, the pointed collar provides the perfect stage for your tie.

At TOPLAGY, every dress shirt is crafted with a 10cm classic pointed collar, a clean French placket, and breathable Swiss cotton. Purpose-built for suiting, our collars deliver structure, elegance, and timeless appeal.

If you are serious about dressing well, it begins with the right collar.
