Let's dive into the nuanced world of shirt collars, specifically the distinction between spread and semi-spread collars a style exercise we've perfected with our POPELINE shirt.
The spread collar? That's a bold statement piece. With its generous opening and decisively wide points, it's designed to turn heads. It's the go-to choice for those who embrace a touch of drama in their style game.
Then there's our signature semi-spread collar, embodied in the POPELINE shirt. This is where the art of restraint comes into play. More daring than a classic point collar but more subtle than a full spread, it strikes that perfect balance we're always after. Its controlled opening creates an elegant line that never feels over-the-top.
What sets them apart? It's all in the details:
- Point spread: more measured on the semi-spread
- Collar band height: slightly lower than the classic spread
- Opening angle: more contained, for effortless elegance
Styling Tips: Our POPELINE's semi-spread collar is a true all-rounder. Without a tie, it naturally frames your face and adds structure. With a tie, it creates the perfect space to showcase your knot without overwhelming it. Whether in azure blue or crisp white, it's that refined touch that elevates your entire look.
Pro tip: If you're just stepping into the world of spread collars, start with our white POPELINE. Its semi-spread collar is the perfect introduction to controlled elegance. For the more seasoned style enthusiasts, the storm blue version adds a depth that particularly complements this collar style.
Trust us on this one: choosing a semi-spread collar isn't settling for middle ground it's a deliberate choice. It's about mastering the art of standing out while keeping things sophisticated.
