The revere collar

The famous collar redesigned by the great House of Dior, the revere collar is a blend of the Mao collar and the officer collar. It embodies modernity and elegance, and is worn exclusively open, even with a classic outfit. The revere collar is easily recognized by its lapels, which are reversed. This elegant and simple collar perfectly complements rounded face shapes.

The round collar

The famous round collar is often confused with the Peter Pan collar, which is the feminine equivalent. The round collar shirt is a shirt with character and a slightly retro look; its collar holds its shape well with or without a tie. Depending on the occasion, you can therefore choose to accessorize it or not. In terms of accessories, the round collar can be enhanced equally well with a tie or a bow tie.

The French collar

The French collar shirt is a classic shirt that can be worn for all types of events. We have slightly reworked the French collar to make it shorter in order to modernize it. The French collar has a slight opening and the collar points measure approximately 6-7 cm. The French collar is very similar to the Italian collar — learn not to confuse them.

The pin collar

The pin collar shirt, also known as the pin collar shirt, is the epitome of masculine elegance. Its name comes from the pin inserted through the collar tips to keep them in place. This collar lifts the tie and gives the outfit a more elegant appearance. The pin, like a piece of jewelry, also adds refinement and will help you stand out from others.

The cutaway collar

Not to be confused with the English collar and the Italian collar, the cutaway collar shirt stands apart from other shirts thanks to the elegance brought by its very wide-spread collar. The cutaway collar is very dressy and can be worn perfectly with or without a tie. Opt for a modern and elegant look by choosing a cutaway collar shirt.

The wing collar

The wing collar shirt is an original shirt that is not worn for just any occasion. Indeed, the wing collar shirt is known for being a tuxedo shirt, so you will bring it out for galas or important ceremonies. The wing collar is a collar that is best showcased by accessorizing it with a bow tie, a lavallière, or an ascot.

A question about our collections?

Le col à pointes se caractérise par des pans plus longs et plus rapprochés que ceux d'un col classique. Très présent dans le vestiaire masculin du XXe siècle, il apporte une élégance discrète et allonge visuellement le visage. 

Le col italien possède des pointes plus écartées, ce qui lui donne une allure plus ouverte et contemporaine. Le col français, plus resserré, reste un grand classique du vestiaire masculin et s'adapte facilement à la plupart des morphologies. 

Le col anglais se distingue par une patte discrète reliant les deux pans du col sous le nœud de cravate. Ce détail permet de rehausser légèrement la cravate et apporte une touche d'élégance, inspirée du tailoring britannique et du look “preppy”.

Pour une tenue habillée, nous recommandons généralement un col français ou un col italien. Le choix dépend ensuite de l'effet recherché : plus classique avec un col français, plus affirmé avec un col italien. 

Le choix du col dépend avant tout de l'usage que vous ferez de votre chemise. Un col français convient à la plupart des situations, tandis qu'un col italien apporte davantage de présence. Pour une tenue très formelle, certains préféreront un col anglais, alors qu'un col boutonné s'intègre naturellement à un vestiaire plus décontracté.
