There are over 15 types of dress shirt collars out there. Collar is the most important part of the shirt because it frames the face and highlights the facial strength of a man. So how can a man choose the right type of collar? Well, having the right knowledge will certainly be a big help.

Although there are over 15 types of dress shirt collars out there, the most popular ones are: Point Collar, Spread Collar and Tab or Pin Collar.

Here is a Classic Straight Point Collar:
This type is the most common and most popular type of collar for men's dress shirts. With this type, the “points” are closer together. Men with round facial features will definitely benefit when wearing this type because the long collar helps even out the look of the face. Men with thin face, on the other hand, should avoid this type as this will accentuate the length of the face.

Button Down Point Collar: This is a casual shirt to wear with chino pants and sports coat. This shirt should never be worn with a Suit and a dress tie. It's a casual look shirt. It's a less formal shirt and can be worn without a tie or a nit tie for a dressier casual look. It is considered a fashion faux pas if the buttons are left unbuttoned. It looks great when the buttons are left unbuttoned with your chino pants on your own free time, to attend movie theaters, shows, restaurants, whilst running errands, on a casual date etc.

The Classic Spread Collar: classic spread collar, which is a very traditional collar that is recommended for thinner faced men and small-boned men.
This collar is gaining popularity and it has a great history, not all men should wear dress shirts with a spread collar. Thin men, or men with thin faces, are the right suitors for a spread collar. The horizontality of the collar balances against the naturally accentuated vertical lines of the face.

Wide Spread Collar: if a man wants to wear a dress shirt with a spread collar, he needs to understand that while this collar is a great choice for many men, it may form an image of an overly heavy man if he has a round face. However, a thin-faced man will look dashing with spread collar. Not all men, however, should wear a dress shirt with a spread collar. Another words if you have a round face stay away from wide and curvy spread collar. If you really like it try classic spread, it's not so wide apart.

Curvy Spread Collar: this type of collar should be worn with a larger necktie knot (full windsor; Shelby knot) to fill in some of the space.

Tab Collars:
tab and pin collar shirts are perfect for a man with long neck, it lifts the tie up for a more bulky look, and the fulness serves as an accessory to blind the length of the neck.

This type of collar contains a small tab extending from the middle of each point. The points are then fixed together to make a hook and loop look behind the tie. This pushed the tie forward and up, highlighting the elaborate knots used for more formal occasions. The tab collar is suitable for men with longer necks. Tie should also always be worn with this type of collar.

Pin Collars:
This type contains small holes for each point, which allows for decorative pins and bar behind the knot which also pushes the knot of the tie up and forward. This provides extra decoration to the collar for more special occasions. This type, just like the tab collar, should never be worn without a tie because you end up having empty holes and flapping tabs, which are very sloppy. This type is also not for everyone.
