mandarin collars

Band-style shirt necks

A mandarin collar is a short, stiff, stand-up collar that doesn't fold over, leaving a small gap at the front of the neck.

The style originated in Chinese clothing and appears on traditional garments like the cheongsam, as well as on Western dress shirts, jackets, and clergy attire: a white shirt with a mandarin collar.
