If you own a dress shirt, chances are you’ve got a set of collar stays. Most shirts you buy will come with a set of cheap plastic collar stays, which are not very effective. If you haven’t already, it’s time to make a small investment and upgrade your style with a set of metal collar stays. Here are a few recommendations.
Shop Collar Stays
Why upgrade to metal collar stays? The function of collar stays are to keep your shirt collar in place as well as to give the collar some structure. Since plastic collar stays are just about as flimsy as the fabric that they’re inserted into, they aren’t much help in this area. Metal collar stays, on the other hand, have a heft to them that keep your collar flat and rigid.
