Spread collars for Men
Among the shirts we offer, those with spread collars stand out for their timeless elegance. Discover our quality commitment to offer you shirts with perfectly structured collars, combining style and refinement.
Our exceptional cotton
At The Nines, our spread collar shirts are made 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 a perfect hold of our spread collars without requiring overly stiff interlining. 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 enhances the face and brings a distinctive presence to your silhouette. Our spread collars are designed according to traditional Italian proportions, with height and spread carefully calculated to create perfect visual harmony.
This elegant amplitude allows for tying ties with voluminous knots such as 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
The choice of a spread collar should take into account your body shape and the desired style.
For a round or square face, our spread collars with long points create a vertical line that harmoniously refines your silhouette. If you have an elongated face, opt for our models with a more pronounced spread that balance your proportions. The cutaway spread collar, which is more open, adds 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 suitable for formal and professional occasions. For a classic style, pair it with a Windsor-knotted tie and a structured suit jacket. For a more casual 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 special attention. We recommend careful ironing on the inside and then on the outside, starting with the collar and cuffs to ensure an impeccable hold. A suitable hanger will help preserve the collar structure between uses.
