Great style catches everyone’s attention. To become more stylish, you'd need to master the basics. Let's start with arguably the most important part of the shirt: The Collar.

The collar may be considered as the greatest determinant of style in a dress shirt. It is the frame that enhances your facial features.

Anatomy of Collar

Back Height – the height of the collar as it sits on the neck

Tie Space – the area above the collar button

Collar Band – the fabric that loops around the neck

Point Length – the distance from the collar band to the collar point

Collar Spread – the distance between the collar points

Collars are typically and historically used to show individuality. The collar style balances our facial attributes and improves our facial strengths.

Here are several ways to customize your collars for your Modern Tailor shirt:

1) Choose the collar lining

For a more formal look, choose a stiff collar lining.

For a more relaxed appearance, choose common to soft collar lining.

2) Collar Stay

Choose a sewn- in collar stay to permanently stabilize the collar points. The more flexible option however is to choose a removable collar stay.

3) Back height Collar Button

Back height collar button is not just there as an accessory, but to keep the collar from flapping, especially for those who are physically active.

4) Contrast Collar or contrast internal collar

Show ingenuity by adding different colors.
