How to Wear a Tuxedo Collar
- 1). Choose which type of tuxedo collar you want to wear. The most popular tuxedo collars today are wing-tipped styles, with a wing-like band collar with two small down-facing points, and the lay-down collar with larger, folded down points. Both types of collars are equally appropriate for formal events, and selecting one over the other is simply a matter of personal style and comfort preferences, much like the choice between boxers or briefs.
- 2). Try the shirt on for size, making sure the fit of the collar is right. There should be enough room in the neck that you feel comfortable in the shirt with the collar fully buttoned up.
- 3). After choosing your shirt collar, put on the neck or bow tie you plan to wear with the tuxedo. A regular tie should fit snugly around the collar and both points should be folded down and visible. A bow tie should also fit closely around the collar, and the points of the collar should be folded over the band and tucked under the bow for a flattering and classic look.
