Spread collars for Men
Among the shirts we offer, those with spread collars stand out for their timeless elegance. Discover our commitment to quality to offer you shirts with perfectly structured collars, combining style and refinement.
Our exceptional cotton
At The Nines, our spread collar shirts are crafted from the highest quality cottons. This requirement allows us to guarantee perfectly structured collars that maintain their impeccable hold throughout the day.
The high density of our fabrics (between 100 and 120 threads per cm²) ensures perfect hold of our spread collars without requiring overly rigid interfacing. This superior quality offers you optimal comfort while preserving the distinctive elegance of a well-designed collar that doesn't sag over time.
The art of the Italian spread collar
The spread collar is a legacy of classic Italian elegance. Its generous shape with slightly spread points highlights the face and brings a distinctive presence to your silhouette. Our spread collars are designed according to traditional Italian proportions, with carefully calculated height and opening to create perfect visual harmony.
This elegant width allows for tying ties with voluminous knots like the Windsor or half-Windsor, while offering enough space to accommodate a bow tie for formal occasions. The spread collar thus adapts to all your outfits, from the three-piece suit to the casual jacket.
Choosing the right spread collar
Choosing a spread collar must take into account your body type and the desired style.
For a round or square face, our long-pointed spread collars create a vertical line that harmoniously slims your silhouette. If you have an elongated face, opt for our models with a more pronounced opening that balance your proportions. The cutaway spread collar, more open, brings a contemporary touch to your outfit, while the classic Italian collar, slightly more closed, embodies timeless traditional elegance.
The art of wearing the spread collar
The spread collar is particularly suited to formal and professional occasions. For a classic style, pair it with a Windsor-knotted tie and a structured suit jacket. For a more relaxed yet still elegant look, wear your spread collar shirt open under an unlined jacket, ensuring that the collar points rest perfectly on the lapels.
The care of your spread collar shirts deserves particular attention. We recommend careful ironing on the reverse side then on the front, starting with the collar and cuffs to ensure impeccable hold. A suitable hanger will help preserve the collar structure between uses.
