Find Out Which is the Most
Suitable Dress Shirt Collar
for Your Face

Choosing a suitable dress shirt collar to frame the mens face correctly and create proportion to the dress shirts is very important.

Let’s go through the rules when choosing the suitable dress shirts collars for your face and neck:


Long and/or Slender Face
Spread collars provide a good counterbalance for such faces. An example would be this picture of Adrien Brooke in a spread collar.














Round and/or Wide Face
Avoid spread collar for these types of face. Straight-point collars or the longitudinal effect of tab collars would help to narrow the face down. You can choose either a medium or long straight point collar.

Robert DeNiro put on weight specifically for this show as Al Capone. A straight-point collar was used to counter his rounded face.
















Angular Faces or Face with Strong Jawline
Use long pointed collar to soften the jawline and angular shape.

Double Chin or Saggy Neckline
Those firm and stiff mens dress shirts collars would hold up better around your neck area and provide a push-up effect. A soft collar like an Oxford collar, on the other hand, has the tendency to allow your double chin or saggy neckline to drooping and hang over your collar.

Long or Short Neck
Mens dress shirts collars can be made taller by widening the neckbands for the long necked men. The tab collar ability to push higher around the neckline will help to hide more of the neck as well. Short necked men should have low sloping collars to show more of the neck.
