Formal men's shirts are a key wardrobe staple, accompanying us at our most elegant moments. One of the main characteristics of formal shirts is that they don't have buttoned collars, using collar bones instead to ensure that the collar tips keep their shape. There are three main types of collar on formal men's shirts: the Kent collar is the most traditional in this type of tailoring, it's a formal and discreet cut with long collar tips and is the highest of all the collars, making it suitable for people with long necks; the spread collar is more open with shorter tips and ideal for men with shorter necks; the cutaway collar is a more recent adaptation and represents the evolution of the spread collar and is characterised by its flattering, curved cut on the tips. Choose your perfect formal shirt from our selection from brands such as Isaia, Tom Ford and Brioni.
