The band collar originated a long time ago when shirts had removable collars. White collar workers would attach a collar and wear a tie. Blue-collar workers would often wear the shirt with no collar.
Variations include the mandarin collar and the Nehru collar, both of which are taller than the standard band collar shown here.
 
You can’t get more relaxed than this. A band collar made with a soft lining. This is a great vintage look for laid back moments. Perfect for hip workwear styles. It works by itself or under a jacket. Despite being a classic style, you still don’t see many men with them. People will notice. Expect compliments.
Add it to your arsenal.
