What is a collarless shirt?

Compared to shirts with collars, collarless shirts have a more casual feel and can add a sense of discretion. In this issue, we will introduce selected samples of stylish coordination using collarless shirts!

What is a collarless shirt?Three types of collarless shirts

First of all, let’s review the different types of collarless shirts. Originally, the term refers only to collarless shirts with nothing around the neck, but nowadays it can also refer to shirts without a so-called “shirt collar” such as band collars, stand collars, and other wide collars. In this section, we will look at three types of collarless shirts.

Types of Collarless Shirts 1Collarless Shirts

No longer necessary to explain, a shirt without a collar is called a collarless shirt. Crew-neck shirts are most commonly seen for men, but V-neck types are not uncommon, and both are favored for their simple and rough appearance. Another feature of this type of shirt is that it is slightly roomier around the neck than other types of shirts. Incidentally, they are sometimes called collarless shirts.

Types of Collarless Shirts 2Band Collar Shirt

A band collar refers to a banded (banded) collar. In appearance, it is designed to look like a standard shirt with the collar blades removed and the lapel collar left in place. In other words, it has a collar, but it is often considered a type of collarless shirt, perhaps because it does not have collar blades, which are called the face of the shirt. Although strictly speaking they are completely different, there are not many choices of collarless shirts for men, and it is a fact that many brands and e-commerce sites sell band-collar shirts, which look similar, as collarless shirts.

Types of Collarless Shirts 3Stand Collar Shirts

A stand collar is a standing collar without a fold. Like the band collar, it is not a collarless design, but in some cases it is also called collarless because it does not have collar blades. Basically, it is a generic term for a standing collar design, so band collars and mandarin collars are a type of stand collar. In Japan, shirts with a high stand-up collar tend to be called “stand-up collar shirts.

Finding a Stand Collar Shirt

Next, we pick up snaps of men wearing collarless shirts in style. Whether worn alone or as an inner layer for a jacket, take a look at their styles.

Collarless Shirt Coordinate 1Modest design adds edge to white shirt coordinate

The stand collar, both chest patches, and the unique front button design with the lower half of the shirt tailored in a winged style give the shirt a modish atmosphere. The unique front button design with a stand collar, patches on both chests and a winged lower half creates a fashionable shirt style. The white shirt is a classic men’s shirt coordinate, but if you choose a well-designed item like this, you can create an outfit that is different from the rest with a great sense of presence.

Collarless Shirt Coordinate 2Contrasting a band collar shirt with a wide peaked lapel jacket

This is an advanced coordinate that combines a jacket style with a collarless shirt instead of a standard shirt. It is quite difficult to match a band-collar shirt, which looks neat around the neck, with a tailored jacket, but by contrasting it with the wide peaked lapel of the double-breasted shirt, which has a strong presence, the coordination is exquisitely balanced with the addition and subtraction of the two.

Collarless shirt coordinate 3Colonial-colored skin-showing coordinate

Shirts with collarless designs, such as band-collar shirts, look even better when arranged with the chest wide open. The sleeves are also rolled up to expose more skin, creating a shirt style with a relaxed look. This kind of skin showing also goes well with colonial colors such as beige and brown, giving the coordination a masculine and wild impression.

Collarless Shirt Coordinate 4Enjoy layering and matching collarless shirts with accessories

The completely collarless shirt, which is neither a band collar nor a stand collar, is one of the ancient Japanese clothing styles, and even today, it is still worn when carrying a portable shrine, such as the Koiguchi shirt. It is recommended for men who want to decorate their shirts with a variety of items, even during the season of light clothing, when the number of items used is reduced.

Collarless shirt coordinate in blue and white for a fresh finish

Alberto Scaccioni, the general manager of Ente Moda Italia, which hosts the Pitti Uomo, chose blue and white items for everything from clothing to shoes and bags to create a fresh look. Even the wrinkles look cozy, and the crisp fabrics give the clothes a cool, refreshing look.

Collarless shirt coordinate with an A-line design that is full of seasonality

We caught men who have been wearing A-line shirts, an “it” trend that has been getting more and more attention. A beautiful A-line silhouette is created by combining a just-fit collarless shirt with loose-fitting slacks and tucking them in high. Both the top and bottom are made of shiny fabrics for a dressy finish.

While wearing a collarless shirt with a nonchalant look, the color scheme gives it a mature look.

A collarless shirt is thrown on like a light outerwear and worn with thick pants for an effortless look. The elegant color combination of white and beige adds a mature look. The simple coordination without accessories is also a nice touch.

A collarless shirt in a basic color is worn stylishly in tone-on-tone!

While the collarless shirt in navy is a classic color that is dependable, it tends to look plain if you make a mistake. To wear such an item stylishly, we recommend coordinating it with tone-on-tone. As you can see in this snapshot, the same color but with a slight difference in tone gives a sense of unity and rhythm to the outfit. If that is not enough, you can try differentiating yourself with your feet.

Daring to fasten all the buttons of a collarless shirt to create a mode atmosphere

If you are wearing a collarless shirt with a design that is gathered at the neck, you can add a mode impression by fastening all the buttons. This is a fashionable approach that is different from the casual or casual look, so it is definitely worth keeping in mind.
