COLLAR OPTIONS

LONG SLEEVE OR SHORT SLEEVE?
BUTTON DOWN A modern sporty collar that comes from polo sports styling, the buttoned-down collar gives a smart appearance without a tie.
KENT Perfect for business, this classic collar is named after the Duke of Kent. Our Kent collars are stiffened, boned collars suitable for embroidery.
Both work in a business environment, but shirts with long sleeves tend to look more elegant. Always wear a long-sleeve shirt with a jacket / suit.
NEW KENT The New Kent is a combination of the Kent and Cutaway styles. Not as wide-flared as the Cutaway or as sharp-cut as the Kent collar, this modern style is stiffened, boned and suitable for embroidery.
LADIES Our Ladies’ Shirts feature a classic collar distinguished in style by its length and shape.
PERFECT SLEEVE LENGTH
Your shirt sleeve should end at the base of the thumb, and the cuff should stand out 1cm further than your suit jacket sleeve.

STYLE IS IN THE DETAIL

Details make such a difference. So as well as a wide choice of fabrics, Russell Europe gives you different collar and cuff styles to pick from too – from casual-smart to ultra-smart – helping you to build a look and get exactly the right shirt you need, for every possible business and occasion.

CUFF STYLES

ROUNDED EDGE CUFFS Adjustable with 2 buttons
SQUARE EDGE CUFFS Adjustable with 2 buttons
MITRED EDGE CUFFS Adjustable with 2 buttons
CUFF LINKS Many shirts offer the option to wear cuff links.
When tucking in, avoid letting the shirt wrinkle too much. Buttons, belt buckle and fly should all be in one line. Ensure your shirt is long enough – the shirt should not come out of your trousers when you lean forwards.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Match your outfit with suitable shoes and belts – typically these should be the same colour( black / black, brown / brown). The right tie and a watch complete your stylish look.
COCKTAIL CUFFS These can be worn either turned or not turned, for a stylish look.
