Gingham shirt collar style

[Kent Wang]

Assume a medium size gingham check, one that would be appropriate for business wear, like this:

Are you working on a gingham shirt? I think either is fine but I nearly always prefer BD for shirts with prominent patterns.

Prefer BD, but would wear a point (esp with a tie). Gingham is casual to me. Or creative biz. or whatever you want to call it.

no spread collar option? i really like the contrast of a more formal collar with something less formal like gingham. i'm having 2 made in the next month actually

+1, indeed.

+1 Tall Spread, for the contrast with the casual fabric. I have one from Pink in this style, and it goes well with navy and tan suits.

Deep spread or button down.

Point collars look plebian.

Ive currently got one on order from Jantzen and chose the point collar. I dont like button down collars with ties, so having the point gives me more versatility to wear with or without a tie.

The only gingham I have is slightly smaller than your picture and has a spread collar. The spread isn't as pronounced as it could be (and certainly doesn't approach cutaway collar status), but I really like the juxtoposition of it against the gingham. It's a vineyard vines shirt, for reference.

I only wear spread collars and that wasn't a choice so I guess I wouldn't wear them.

Spread collar 4 sure....a nice wide spread to boot...just had two made like that a few months ago...love them.

Joining the "Spread" chorus...

 

[Kaplan]

Medium spread.

 

[BRITINLA]

Bd for casual.

Spread / cutaway to wear with a tie
