The Top Men's Spread Collar Dress Shirts
The spread collar — with its wide angle between collar points — is the most modern dress shirt silhouette, designed to frame a tie knot or stand open at the neck with equal confidence. It replaced the point collar as the dominant business shirt collar precisely because it works in both tied and open-collar contexts.
Why It's Trending
- The decline of daily tie-wearing has made the spread collar the default for men who want a dress shirt that looks good unbuttoned
- Italian shirt brands that champion the spread collar (Finamore, Borrelli, Simone Abbarchi) have given it significant fashion credibility
- The spread collar frames the face differently than a point collar — it reads broader and more confident
- Larger tie knots (Windsor, half-Windsor) work best with spread collars, and these knots are experiencing a trend resurgence
What to Look For
- 1Collar spread should match your face shape: wider spreads suit narrower faces; more moderate spreads suit rounder faces
- 2Collar stiffness matters for the open-neck look — a soft, unlined collar droops; a medium-fused collar holds its shape
- 3White and light blue in a fine poplin or twill are the most versatile business options
- 4French cuffs elevate the shirt further; barrel cuffs in a spread collar hit a modern sweet spot
