5 Tips To Perfect Looking Shirt Collars

1. GET A STRONG PLACKET

The first tip on how to get the perfect shirt collar actually has nothing to do with the shirt collar. It has to do with having a strong placket. when you go out there and you look at shirts, plackets aren't something most people think about unless maybe you're going custom and you can design it. But, a strong placket is the core is the center of your shirt and if you're going to be able to look great, you've got to have a strong placket. And, I know that there are, you know, all the other tips I'm going to talk about they're important, but they're not as important as this one.

To buy a shirt with a strong placket. If you're going to get a custom-made, make sure maybe they've got it, you know, double material reinforced. This is going to be the key to making sure it looks great. Unfortunately, most shirts out there have weak plackets. Even shirts that you buy that have a strong placket at the beginning after maybe five to ten washes starts to loosen up and all of a sudden they're not going to hold that look.

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLLAR STYLE

if you have a strong placket, you can actually get away with a wide range of collar style. If you have weak placket, you're going to want to be careful. There are only going to be certain styles that are going to work and basically the placket that's weak is going to be able to support them. You want to look at maybe more spread collars, collars with a shorter point. There are two things to determine collar styles, it's going to be the spread and it's going to be the point length. In both of those, you're going to want to make sure it's something that isn't too close together, so you want to be really careful of narrow point collars and you want to be very careful of anything that is going to have a longer basically collar point length.
