Round collar shirt

The round collar, also known as the club collar, is a discreet and subtle styling element that brings men's fashion history up to date. It has its origins in the English pin collar that was commonly worn in the 1800s and formed a basis of differentiation for uniforms in English schools. In the 1920s, the round collar established itself as the key element of masculine elegance and became the default collar in the United States. After suffering unpopularity and being considered outdated and rare, it was brought back into fashion in 2010. We offer a complete range of shirt collars so you can put together the perfect men's shirt for you.

The round collar: retro and versatile

Unlike other collars with spikes, the round collar features rounded, beveled flaps that give it a slightly childlike connotation. It's easy to equate it with the Claudine collar, but it's not! The difference lies in the collar stand. At once retro chic and dandy, the round collar is synonymous with refined exclusivity and surprising versatility. In terms of facial morphology, it lends roundness to angular shapes and, on the contrary, rounds out faces that are already very round, just like the Italian collar.

The round collar for casual chic

This informal collar should be worn casually, and is not suitable for a business look. Choose a white round-collar shirt, a smart casual jacket and jeans or canvas trousers rather than a suit. Easy to match, this collar stands on its own and can be worn closed or open at the first button. Elegant and atypical enough not to be overloaded with anything else, it can nevertheless be embellished with a bow tie for added refinement. To avoid hiding the rounded shape, choose very thin models. There's no need for a tie, but if you insist on wearing one, it should be thin and tied very tightly so that it fits between the curves. If you're looking for another chic casual collar, you can opt for the button-down collar.
