Here are the common types of shirt collars you need to know.
Spread Collar |

A spread collar can be worn with a tie and is versatile enough for business, formal or casual occasions. The word #spread’ refers to the space between the collar points. Owing to the curve, this is only available as a fused option. Length of collar point 3” |
Classic Collar (2 Button) |
|
 |
This is a prevalent and traditional collar shape. A tie works very well with the Classic Collar, which can accommodate a large knot. Length of collar point 2.5” |
Button-down Collars |
|
|
|
Self-explanatory – the collar buttons down, attaching the points directly to the shirt. This collar is more casual in style so that it can be worn with or without a tie. Available only as a fused option. Length of collar point 3” |
Button Under |
|
|
|
Similar to the button down, but the points are attached to the shirt from under the collar. Only available as a fused option. Length of collar point 3.” |
Cutaway Collar |
|
 |
Similar to a Spread Collar, a Cutaway Collar has a space between the two points, but they point outward instead of down. The Cutaway Collar is an excellent choice with a full or half Windsor tie knot. However, it is equally suitable to be worn without a tie. Length of collar point 2.7" |
Straight Collar |
|
 |
A: A collar with long pointy edges is usually worn with a link, as the extra-long collar points can look odd without one. Length of collar point 3” |
Tab Collar |
|
 |
This is a classic collar with two small tabs in the middle of the collar points. These connect beneath the necktie, pushing the knot up and out. Length of collar point 2.5” |
Tunic/Collar Band |
