Couldn\u2019t work out why? Well, this is because not every collar is designed in the same way. In fact, there\u2019s a great variety of well-known and distinctive collar designs which affect how they are worn and who should wear them. A rule of thumb that everyone should follow includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The softer the collar, the more casual it is.<\/li>\n<li>The more structured and stiffer the collar, the more formal the shirt appears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In today\u2019s world, there are a lot of collared shirts to choose from, from formal shirts right down to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theadairgroup.com\/polos\/\">polo shirt<\/a>. If you didn\u2019t know already, there\u2019s around seven popular shirt collars. We\u2019ll show you below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Classic\/Straight\/Straight Point Collar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The classic collar design originates from military uniforms. Today it is one of the most common and popular collars which you\u2019ll find on most shirts. These types of collars can be worn with or without ties and are suitable for all occasions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Face Shape<\/em><\/strong>: Best suited for a rounded face shape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Round\/Club Collar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rounded club collar first originated with the English. This style features collar points which offer rounded edges, instead of the distinctive straight design you might see on many formal shirts. Club collar t-shirts are great for a smart casual and formal look.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Face Shape:<\/em><\/strong> Best suited for a thin face.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Button Down Collar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may not have known this, but the button down shirt first originated from polo games. These collars feature two additional buttons that button down the collar points. This collar style is second in popularity to the straight collar. The style is best suited for casual and smart casual occasions. Button down shirts can generally be worn with most suits apart from double breasted suits.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Face Shape<\/em><\/strong>: Best suited for all face shapes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Classic Spread\/Wide Spread\/English Spread Collar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The English spread collar became popular thanks to English royalty. This collar design features collar points which are spread far apart. Because it\u2019s one of the most formal collar designs, a shirt with the English collar is only suitable for formal occasions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Face Shape<\/em><\/strong>: Best suited for a thin face only.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medium Style Spread Collar <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may have heard of the medium style spread collar. Well, this is a combination of the classic and wide spread collar design.

The cutaway collar first came about in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century. You may notice that this collar design features points which are cut away (hence the name) because of the exceptionally wider space between the two points. Strictly for formal occasions, you wouldn\u2019t want to wear this at a birthday.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Face Shape:<\/em><\/strong> Best suited for thin faces only.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soft Attached\/Tab-Front\/Tab Collar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tab collar shirt is popular because of the English.
