Necklines & Collars
A mandarin collar is a short, unfolded stand-up collar that rises vertically around the neck without folding down, leaving a small gap at the front. Derived from traditional Chinese dress, it gives shirts and jackets a clean, minimal finish.
Unlike a regular shirt collar, a mandarin (or band) collar has no fold and no points — just a short upright band. That makes it look streamlined and modern, and it pairs well under a jacket without a tie.
It shares the upright, foldless shape of a mock neck, translated into a structured shirt collar.
