Club Collar

Provenance: Originally part of Eton College's dress code, the club (also known as a golf collar) was popular in the early decades of the 20th century.

Who's making them: Brooks Brothers, $79 (left); Patrik Ervell, $230; Hugh & Crye, $85

Cutaway Collar

Provenance: Also known as a spread (though a cutaway is often wider), it was made popular by such British aristocrats as the Duke of Windsor.

Who's making them: Ovadia & Sons, $265 (left); Rugby, $70; Ben Sherman, $75

The Comeback Collars

As the style pendulum shifts slightly from hardier, workwear influenced pieces back to a more refined, tailored approach to menswear, it was only a matter of time before throwback styles like traditional shirting collars returned. The club collar and the cutaway are the two most popular styles currently enjoying a revival.
