style for every occasion.
The collar is the element that instantly defines the style and personality of a shirt. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics, but also about balancing design, comfort, and functionality. From the most structured to the minimal cut, the collar frames the face and completes the look, becoming the focal point of every outfit. For this reason, Gutteridge pays the utmost attention to the selection and creation of various models, enhancing Italian tailoring tradition combined with a contemporary taste.
Among Gutteridge’s offerings, we find the Button Down Collar, practical and casual, thanks to the little buttons that secure the tips, ideal for casual or business casual occasions.
The French Collar, on the other hand, with its wide opening, is perfect for those who love wearing important ties, leaving plenty of space for the knot.
The Semi-French Collar strikes a refined balance: less open than the French, but more modern than a classic Italian collar, perfect for most formal situations. Ideal for those who want an original and modern look.
The Corean Collar, with no points, offers an oriental and minimal touch, perfect especially in more informal settings.
The Bowling Collar stands out for its retro inspiration: short, soft, and open, evoking the casual elegance of the 1950s while maintaining the sophistication typical of the Gutteridge style.

The choice of collar mainly depends on the shape of your face, the occasion, and your personal style. A rounder face can be elongated by the French or Semi-French collar, thanks to their balanced opening. Those who prefer a relaxed look can opt for the Button Down collar or the bolder Bowling collar, especially if they want to add a vintage touch to their outfits. The Korean collar, on the other hand, is the perfect solution for those who desire a sleek and modern look. Whatever your choice, you can always rely on Gutteridge's tailoring quality for elegance that doesn't go unnoticed.
