band collar

Short standing neckpiece

A band collar is a short, upright collar that encircles the neck without folding over or having points.

Unlike traditional collars with a turndown portion, the band collar stands straight up, typically an inch or so in height, and fastens at the front.

It appears on dress shirts, particularly those associated with clerical wear or Mandarin-style garments, and has become popular in contemporary menswear for its clean, minimalist look.

He paired the band collar shirt with a blazer for a modern formal appearance.
