✔️COLLAR STIFFNESS.

When we talk of the stiffness, a good example is the kind of shirts worn by Thomas Shelby from Peaky Blinders.

Back in the day, the stiff part of the collar was detachable as laundry services weren’t as common in the late 1800 and early 1900.

As living standards improved, people were able to wear shirts with fixed collars as they could easily be washed.

Nowadays though they have found ways to make collars stiffen by using starch during processing so as to give the shirt some shape .

✔️HEIGHT.

We normally get to know height of the collar by how high a collar sits on your neck.

It is measured from the fold down to the point.

They are more of an Italian style and can feel uncomfortable at first.

✔️SIZE.

Something moderate size is the most ideal for business.
Your face shape and size also affects how a certain collar would look on you.

If you have a larger head for instance, a bigger collar would be more suitable so as to create a more balanced look .

✔️SPREAD.
This is the distance between the points of the collar . When picking a shirt, unlike the size, the safest option is to choose the opposite of your face shape /width.
