Fashion is an expression of oneself through style and clothing. It is an art form that lives for creativity and breathes audaciousness. And while we here at FRESHLY.EDUCATED.MEN believe that men should be fearless when it comes down to their style, we must admit, there are some…misjudgments in fashion that most men make. So we will put the spotlight on these “Style Blunders” and provide the remedy for each one.
We start off with recounting the eerie tale of the “Invisible Collar”…
blunder
When the clock hits 5pm on a weekday, many men rejoice in the fact that the day has ended and share a common ritual of taking off their ties as they leave the office. It’s quite humourous as they somehow seem to untie themselves at the same time. But what’s not humourous is that in some cases, collars mysteriously disappear. With no support or structure, the collars sink into the blazer and sometimes spread, well…unevenly. Some will call this sloppy, while others shun at the mere thought. We just think that this so-called “Invisible Collar”, is avoidable.
remedy
The most vital factor involved in warding off the “Invisible Collar” starts with shopping for the right shirt. It’s always important to look for dress shirts with firm collars that stand up on their own framing your face. Also, use collar stays. They are the little plastic tabs that come in most shirt collars; they make the collars stiff and pointed. Every proper dress shirt has slots for them. This way, your collar will always look brand new.
