The origins of the round collar

Characteristics of the round collar

The round collar shirt has a slightly retro look and holds up well with or without a tie. Also known as a "club collar", the round collar features small rounded lapels. You can therefore choose to accessorize it to give your outfit more style. If you opt for a tie with the round collar shirt, go for a small tie knot. You can also choose to highlight this collar by wearing a nice bow tie.

The round collar adds refinement and softness with its rounded tips. It is a less aggressive collar than those with pointed lapels. In terms of face shape, we advise against wearing a round collar shirt if you have a round face. On the other hand, if you have an elongated or rather angular face, we strongly recommend the round collar shirt. Be careful not to choose a round collar that is too small, as it will not flatter you.

Our style tips for the round collar shirt

In recent years, the round collar has been overshadowed by more classic collars such as the Italian collar or the French collar. But the round collar shirt remains a staple of the male wardrobe for those who wish to stand out and assert their look. Here are a few outfit ideas:

  • You need to attend a formal event, such as the graduation ceremony of your son or your best friend. An elegant outfit is therefore strongly recommended. Opt for a red and white striped round collar shirt with a white collar, tuck it into a navy blue suit trousers, and to complete the look, go for a beautiful bold-striped burgundy and navy blue tie. Don't forget your suit jacket and you'll be perfect!
  • You are a big fan of the Peaky Blinders series — the round collar shirt is the shirt for you. To adopt the same look as the Shelby brothers in a slightly more modern version, here is our advice. Put on a white round collar shirt, accessorize it with a burgundy tie, and slip on a grey suit waistcoat.
