The origins of the reverse collar
Originally, the reverse collar is a simple Indian collar that was reworked and redesigned by the famous House of Dior. It is a historically trendy collar that was brought back into the spotlight in the 2000s, becoming an iconic model at Dior Homme. The reverse collar differs from the Indian collar in that the lapel is reversed.
Thus, the reverse collar quickly became a timeless essential in the male wardrobe. The reverse collar shirt is both dressy and relaxed, making it ideal for all occasions.

The details of the reverse collar
The reverse collar is a small straight collar with short points. It is easily recognized by its reversed lapels — it is an extremely simple, understated and elegant collar. It perfectly flatters round faces and will give you a slender appearance.
The reverse collar is a collar that stands on its own, and is therefore worn without a tie or bow tie. However, if you wish to accessorize your outfit, you can always highlight your white reverse collar shirt by wearing a beautiful camel-colored leather belt.

A question about our collections?
Le col inversé est un petit col droit aux pointes courtes, reconnaissable à ses rabats tournés vers l’extérieur, et non vers l’intérieur comme sur un col classique. Ce détail discret, hérité des expérimentations sartoriales du XXe siècle, met particulièrement en valeur les visages ronds et contribue à une allure visuellement plus élancée.
Ce col se porte idéalement sans cravate, pour laisser toute la place à sa ligne épurée. Chez The Nines, nous aimons l’associer à une veste de costume et à un pantalon habillé, pour un look distingué et élégant.
Ce col convient particulièrement aux visages ronds, qu’il aide à allonger visuellement. Plus largement, il s’adresse à ceux qui recherchent une chemise sobre, facile à porter, avec un détail discret mais distinctif.
Oui ! La chemise col inversé, minimaliste, fonctionne très bien avec un costume. Arborer un look sans cravate apporte une alternative plus originale que des cols classiques, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit d’une tenue habillée.
Choisir un col inversé, c’est choisir une alternative subtile aux cols plus classiques. Chez The Nines, nous aimons ce col pour sa sobriété : il structure le visage, donne du caractère à votre tenue et fonctionne aussi bien dans un vestiaire habillé que plus décontracté, notamment lorsqu’on veut une chemise qui se suffit à elle-même.
