The collar is the identity card, the first presentation of a shirt, whether Italian or French, the collar must be the first demonstration of quality craftsmanship.

Let's look at the differences between two of the most common collars: the French collar and the Italian collar.

The Italian collar has a narrower angle, given the closeness of the collar's narrow points. A symbol of elegance, it is widely used for business shirts. The Italian collar is perfect if you want to wear a tie. Today, the Italian collar comes in various forms; we can recall the "classic" Italian collar with long points, as opposed to the "updated" Italian collar which has shorter points, resulting in smaller and more delicate collars.

The French collar has a wider angle, with shorter points that extend towards the shoulders. More informal than the Italian collar, it is suitable for those who wear an open shirt without a tie. It can also be worn with a tie, with the only caveat being to tie a larger knot than one would with an Italian collar shirt, as there is more space to cover.

The classic French collar has a very wide angle; it is a very "cut" collar with points that decisively point towards the shoulders. Nowadays, the French collar has undergone changes; it is increasingly less "cut," and the collar points are less and less directed towards the shoulders.
