Men's Spread Collar Dress Shirts

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a spread collar or point collar to wear without a tie?

A spread collar. Its wider points hold their shape against the jacket lapel without a tie, while point collars can collapse when worn open.

What are the different collar styles for men's dress shirts?

The main styles are spread, point and button-down; formal shirts add the wing collar. Spread suits most faces and knots, point is the classic business collar, and button-down is the most casual.

Which collar works best with a Windsor knot?

A spread collar. The Windsor is a wide, symmetrical knot that needs room between the collar points.

Can you wear a spread collar dress shirt with a skinny tie?

You can, but a narrow tie can look lost between wide collar points. Choose a medium-width tie and a knot with some volume, such as a half Windsor, so the knot fills the space.
