Greetings,
Today we bring you some interesting facts about the Cutaway Collar. As its name implies, the collar points are ‘cut away’, pointing back towards the shoulders. A unique feature of the cutaway is that the spread between the collar points are much wider when compared with collars like the Straight Point Collar.
Wearing the cutaway makes you stand out from the crowd while you exude that confident image.
If you have an inspiring tie collection, the cutaway gives you the perfect opportunity to show it off! The wider distance between the collar points reveals more of that dashing tie of yours. Bigger tie knots like the Windsor and half-Windsor do well with the cutaway, but not so for the slim ties. You can wear it without a necktie too, but leave a couple of buttons undone to achieve that casual, debonair look.
Although not a hard and fast rule, it is said that men with slimmer and long facial features can pull off wearing a cutaway collar really well as opposed to those with a rounder countenance.
At this point, you’re probably getting a sense of déjà vu! This is because we spoke about the Semi-Cutaway Collar last week, which is a variant of the cutaway. The difference between the two collars lies in the angle between the collar points, which is wider in the cutaway.
The Cutaway Collar was made popular by the English during the Edwardian era and was worn for formal occasions or at black tie events. Much favoured by the Europeans, the cutaway is now spicing up men’s wardrobes everywhere!
