high collar
Throat-covering shirt feature
A high collar is a collar that extends up the neck, often standing upright rather than folding over.
The style appears on formal garments, clerical vestments, and certain traditional Asian clothing.
Figuratively, high-collar or high-collared suggests formality, propriety, or old-fashioned stuffiness: a high-collar attitude toward public behavior.
