Relaxed Italian Style

Some of my customers ask me how to get their collars to flare out like the collar above. This is a very Italian look. The truth is that we don't push this style of collar because it's only through deconstruction of the collar that you can get this look - which means to say - you need to have no collar stays or else to pull them out. This is a curved cutaway collar that's had the stays removed and through the course of a hot day the collars will wing. Don't get me wrong, I like what the Italian's call 'Sprezzaturra' but this overused term usually goes hand in hand with the very rich that don't need to work or the very idle that have nothing to do. If you work professionally and want to get taken seriously, maybe choose to keep the stays in.
