Collar Shapes for Suit Jackets and Shirts

The collar, as a decorative element on clothing, has been around since the 13th century. From the very beginning, the collar shape was influenced by social dress codes and fashion trends. For the design of a garment, the collar offers an incredible variety of design possibilities and thus becomes a playground for designers.
