วิธีเลือกปกเสื้อเชิ้ตให้เหมาะกับเสื้อสั่งตัดของคุณ

When it comes to custom dress shirts, many people focus primarily on the fabric, color, or fit. However, the shirt collar is actually one of the most important details, as it directly impacts your overall image, formality, and style.

Choosing the right collar not only completes your look but also enhances your personality, making you appear confident and professional.

Why is the collar important?

The collar is the part of your shirt closest to your face, making it easily noticeable. Choosing the right collar can help:

• Enhance facial features for a more balanced look.
• Add a touch of distinction to your overall look.
• Determine the level of formality of dress.
• It helps you wear a tie or suit more perfectly.

For bespoke clothing, small details like the collar can make a big difference.

How to choose the right collar to suit your face shape.

Choosing a collar style that suits your face shape can help create a more balanced look.

• Round face: Choose a point collar to help make your face appear longer.
• Long face: Choose Spread or Cutaway to increase the width.
• Oval face shape: Suitable for almost all face shapes.
• Square cover: Choose a cover with a slight curve to soften the rigidity.

Choose the collar style according to the occasion.

• Formal occasions / Wearing a suit: Point Collar or Spread Collar
• General business applications: Spread Collar or Pinpoint Collar
• Semi-formal occasions: Button-Down or Spread
• Casual look: Button-down or soft collar.

Choosing the right outfit for the occasion will help you look “dressed appropriately for the time.”

Shirt collars and ties.

Different collar styles are suited to different ties, for example:

• Spread / Cutaway → Suitable for large knots (Windsor knot)
• Point Collar → Suitable for small knots (Four-in-hand)
• Button-Down → Looks good even without a tie.

The right pairings will help create a more polished look.

The importance of collar stitching.

Besides the shape of the cover, the “structure of the cover” is equally important.

High-quality shirts will have collars designed to stand upright, not sag, and maintain their shape throughout the day.

In bespoke tailoring, the craftsman will take into account:

• Collar height
• The firmness or softness of the cover.
• Fits the shape of the neck and shoulders.

These details make the shirt look premium and feel more comfortable to wear.
