The origins of the French collar
The most classic collar in existence is the French collar. It is the basic and most common of all collars. At first glance, it is a rather formal collar, worn for formal occasions. But over the years, the French collar has remained a timeless staple of the male wardrobe. It can be worn formally for the office as well as casually for informal events.

The small details of the French collar
The French collar has a slight opening and the collar points measure approximately 6-7 cm. The French collar and the Italian collar are two collars that are very similar, both aesthetically and stylistically. Unlike the Italian collar, the French collar is more formal, and its shape is also suited to round faces as it tends to elongate them.
You can therefore choose to wear the French collar shirt in different ways. Its stylistic flexibility is an asset, as you can accessorize this shirt or not. A French collar shirt in your wardrobe can therefore play two roles: that of the formal shirt worn for special occasions and that of the casual chic shirt worn for more relaxed occasions.
Our style tips for the French collar shirt
The French collar shirt is therefore a must-have that you should count among your shirts, gentlemen. It will be your best ally whatever the occasion. If you're unsure how to pair it to put together a great outfit, here are a few examples:
- Let's start with an elegant and refined outfit for going to work every day. Opt for a sky blue French collar shirt and pair it with grey suit trousers and a suit jacket. To give the outfit more style, tie a green tie around your neck, and don't forget a nice pair of dress shoes.
- For an after-work drinks with your colleagues, go for a more relaxed look. Put on a French collar shirt, leave one or two buttons open for a casual chic effect, pair it with jeans and a pair of sneakers and you're all set.
