4 Linen Collar Styles Every Man Should Own

2 min read

The collar decides the occasion. Four cuts — regular, cut-away, soft short, and mandarin — cover everything from the boardroom to the beach in the same AERO-LUXE™ linen. Build your wardrobe around them and you're dressed for any room.

1. The regular collar — for the boardroom

A long, structured collar over a straight, tailored fit. This is the shirt for meetings, presentations, and rooms where you want to look decided. Wear it under a blazer or alone with tailored trousers. → The Boardroom

2. The cut-away collar — for smart evenings

A wider, open spread that frames the throat — continental and a little more relaxed. No pocket, clean lines. Made for dinners, gallery evenings, and after-work hours that still ask for polish. → La Dolce Aria

3. The soft short collar — for the weekend

Washed, unfused, easy. It asks nothing of an iron and looks right untucked, half-tucked, or open over a tee. The shirt that makes a day off feel like one. → The Easy Edit

4. The mandarin collar — for the statement

No points, no lapel — just a clean band. Worn tonal it reads minimal and modern; with heritage tailoring it turns cultural and contemporary at once. → The Manifesto

How to build the set

Start with regular and soft-collar in versatile shades (white, navy). Add the mandarin for evenings and the cut-away for occasions. Four collars, one fabric — a wardrobe that covers your whole week.

FAQ

What collar is best for a formal linen shirt? A structured regular collar holds the sharpest, most formal line. Is a mandarin collar formal or casual? Both — tonal styling reads formal, while washed linen keeps it relaxed.
