Shirts with a stand-up collar offer a sophisticated look that combines classic elegance with modern minimalism. The characteristic collar stands upright at the neck and deliberately dispenses with classic collar legs. This gives the men's shirt a clear, minimalist yet expressive look – a stylish alternative to conventional shirts for business, leisure or festive occasions.
The origins of the stand-up collar date back to the 19th century, when it was seen as a symbol of dignity and status. Today, this collar style is making a fashionable comeback – especially for men who want to impress with their fashion sense and character.
Classic meets modern: The new look of the stand-up collar
While the historic stand-up collar was often considered stiff, today's models are much more comfortable. Soft cotton fabrics, airy linen or stretchy blended fabrics ensure they are comfortable to wear – even on long days in the office or on warm summer days.
Particularly classy: shirts with a lapel collar – a modern version of the historic paternity collar – are perfect for festive occasions such as weddings, galas or elegant dinners. Combined with a tuxedo and bow tie, they create a classic look with sophisticated appeal.
Casual stand-up collar shirts for everyday and leisure wear
Stand-up collar shirts are also a stylish companion for everyday wear. Whether made of linen, poplin or comfortable stretch: styles from brands such as Olymp, Marvelis, Fynch-Hatton or Seidensticker impress with their casual cuts, modern colors and lightweight materials. Particularly popular: white, light blue, sage green or denim look – perfect for a clean leisure style.
