spread collar
Open dress collar
A spread collar is a dress shirt collar with points that angle outward rather than pointing straight down, creating a wider opening at the neck.
The spread accommodates larger tie knots like the Windsor and works well with broader face shapes.
Spread collars range from moderate angles to the extreme cutaway or wide spread: He paired the spread collar with a chunky knot.
