What you wear very much influences what people think and make of you at work. In the coming weeks we will be sharing tips with you on how you can enhance your image and make an instant impression at work! Lets get the ball rolling with an article about your shirt collar.
The collar of a shirt is often overlooked by many, and yet, it is arguably the most important in making an impression - the collar is the first thing people notice when they see you!
A collar that “stands” and stays straight gives you a smart and sharp look; portraying an image that instills confidence be it to your potential employer, clients or colleagues.
There are many manufacturers in the market who produce soft, crumply collars which leaves the wearer with an untidy and “jaded” image.
So, what keeps a collar sharp and crisp? There are two essential items that keep your collar in shape, namely the collar-stays (“pokey” plastic pieces found in both tips of the collar) and the additional interlining fabric in the collar (good manufacturers will insert this interlining fabric for comfort and shape retention although it is more costly). These two items keep your collar straight, sharp, and crisp, bringing about a professional image.
