Variety Of Laydown Collar Shirts

Dress Shirts are an integral part of a suit, tuxedo suit, tailcoat dress and for that matter any formal wear. A matching, well-fitted shirt adds a charm to the look of a suit whereas an ill-suited shirt will make you look out of place even if your suit is very smart. Such is the importance of a shirt in any formal wear that it has the ability to make or mar any look. Thus, one must pay heed to various aspects while buying a formal shirt like its fit, its style and its collar. Yes, there are different types of collars that are meant to be worn with different type of suits.

The few main and most common type of shirt collars are- turndown collar, button down collar and wing collars.

Turndown Collars are the staple form of collars found on any shirt. As the name suggests, the collar is turned down giving the look of a triangle whose angles vary according to individual. Turndown collars are divided in two categories-

Point Collar is the most commonly found style of shirt collars and is found on nearly 90% of the dress shirts. Point collar shirts are very versatile and can be worn with both formal and casual wear as its neutral looks exhibit elegance and sophistication. The collar is cut in such a manner so as to give that pointed look where points are very close. This is the classic formal shirt collar that goes with any suit and with both necktie and bowtie.

Spread Collar is the second most common style of shirt collars and is also known as cutaway and Windsor collars. Spread collars also come in various styles and reveal more of the upper shirt and tie than a point collar shirt. Because of the wide distance between collar points, a spread collar is not worn without a tie, making it suitable only for formal occasions.

Button Down Collar is the least formal among different types of shirt collars. And as the name suggests, a button down collar is attached with a shirt by two small buttons on either side of the collar. Button down collars can be found in both point collar and spread collars.

Wing Collar is commonly known as collars worn with tuxedo shirts. The collar has no turndown, instead have wings at the front. Wing collars are purely formal in nature.
