Most women know how to dress for their body type – it was etched into our minds by those quintessential teen magazines that lined every girl’s bookshelf. Most men however, did not grow up reading Dolly or Cosmo so it’s no surprise when we see a man walking down the street wearing a fine dress shirt from the latest range of an expensive label, yet something just doesn’t look quite right. The reason? The collar of his shirt doesn't suit his features.
You may be one of the lucky ones who happen to be freakishly good looking and can pull off anything from a potato sack to a bed sheet, but there remain a fair few of us mere mortals who have to consider whether or not the latest fashion trends suit our body types and face shapes.
You’ll be happy to know that there’s a perfect collar style for everyone! Here’s a quick lesson on which collars will complement your features the best!

The point collar is a traditional collar and suits a man with a rounder or smaller face. | The cutaway collar is a widespread collar and most suited for those with a long / narrow face or a shorter neck. | The narrow collar is most suited to those with an oval or round face. | ||
 |  |  | ||
A spread collar is most suited to those with a more angular features on their face. | The button down collar is quite similar to the point collar. Avoid it if you have a square/angular face. | The small collar suits those with a smaller face and more delicate features. Avoid this collar if you have a larger face. |
