Men’s face and neck shapes and shirt collar types

15 Feb Posted by in Fashion Tips | Comments Off

Did you know there should be a relation between the style of your collar and the shape of your neck and face?

 

  Here is a young man with a very long neck and a very short collar.

He would be far better off in a  taller collar to keep the scale of his neck in balance.

Even a two button collar would be a fun, stylish choice.

 

 

  Here’s a picture of Tom Cruise, who we know is quite short, wearing a way too big collar – he would be better served with a smaller lower one.

 

This collar is too big for the wearer, and gives him a bit of a chicken neck look.

 

 

 

 

Men with little to no neck need to be very aware of keeping their collars short.

 

 

 

   Off the rack shirts come with collars that are pretty standard, and chosen for you by the garment manufacturer.

Custom shirting gives you the option to choose by style – to match your goal – formal, casual, trad, English, soft – which is all fun and good, but unless you are perfectly proportional, don’t discount the ability to make subtle improvements to the balance, scale and harmony of your face and neck using the size and width of your shirt collar.

 

It’s all a matter of plugging in specific and desirable dimensions for each of the collar variables – the stance,  the spread of the collar and the length of the points.

Nothing fits and looks better on YOU than custom.

 

The easiest way to look your best is to make a single phone call.
