Mao collar

With what to associate the Mao collar

More original than a classic collar or even an officer collar, a mao collar is a touch of exoticism to your outfit. The advantage is that it adapts to all styles, whether formal or casual.

In a casual version, the mao collar shirt can be oxford, end-on-end or poplin, it can be worn, for example, outside the pants with jeans and white shoes. In formal version, it can be white and it will be associated with a sports jacket and chino type pants. Why not in this case tuck it inside the pants. In both cases, your shirt can be white, blue or gray, with sober colors always being easier to wear.

In a Mao collar shirt, horn buttons are an alternative to white mother-of-pearl buttons. If the Mao collar does not have a button on the collar unlike the officer collar, the last button can remain open or closed as desired, depending on whether you want to formalize the outfit or stay in the casual register.

With what materials

The mao collar is an elegant collar that stands out: it is easily adaptable to different outfits. Because it is exotic due to its Asian origin, it is a collar that in the collective imagination is rather worn in summer. We can therefore very well imagine it on a fairly fine linen or poplin shirt. Because it is a casual collar, it can also be worn on a casual fabric like Oxford.
