Cutaway Collar Spectrum

As soon as button-down collars became increasingly prevalent around the necks of men everywhere, designers, bloggers and the sartorially minded delved into a slew of different collar variations. Among the more rebellious options: the Cutaway. Popularized by the Duke of Kent in the 1900s, the wide, angular collar can be worn with or without a tie. This season we're seeing the shirts in a variety of prints, plaids and vibrant, Spring-friendly colors. Here are a few of note in a range of prices.
