Welcome Back The Club Collar Shirt



It’s the return of an old legend. When we think of dress shirts we usually associate and refer to the standard spread collar shirt. When it comes to the club collar, there is a certain look that it gives its wearer. Viewed from a perspective where a man is sharply dressed you could almost mistake the fellow as being a captured image from 50 years ago. This style of shirt is usually used for looks where the actual style is vintage inspired. Also known as the Eton or golf collar for its form of use at the school Eton, this collar style has a rich history. This was mainly because at the time Brooks Brothers were known for giving styles designated names for various garments. Though it is not seen much today in the mainstream society, it is now making its way back as a staple item to put together a chic, dapper outfit. 


This type of collar can be worn pinned or unpinned. This style is better worn with uniquely styled jackets and suits that are less on the formal side. So though most people may not even notice it, someone with class and style will. It shows that you care about the clothes you wear, and you keep attention to detail without it being obvious. Looks like the club collar are very subtle, but can change the image and look of an outfit when viewed by someone who knows fashion. Sometimes when you wear dress shirts a lot, the look can get old. This is an alternative to change up your daily line up.  It is important to always keep your look fresh and new. For people who don’t really like to come completely out of their comfort zone, this collar style would be a good pick. It is different, but at the same time it is relevant in the history of American menswear.
