They work by keeping the collar smooth and flat. They also add weight and support to keep your collar perfectly straight and crisp for hours. They might seem like an extra step that isn&#8217;t necessary, but once you try them, you will never go back. They are small, but the difference they make is enormous. Using collar stays is like having a perfectly ironed collar that lasts until well, you remove them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><strong>How Do You Wear Them?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important when choosing collar stays to get the correct size. Some sets only come with 2 sizes, but it\u2019s usually better to look for sets with 3 or more options so that you can choose different sizes depending on the shirt you are wearing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video below gives a good description of how to find the perfect size collar stay for your shirt &#8211; one that will keep your collar looking sleek without poking you in the neck.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collar Stay Options<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we&#8217;ve covered collar stays 101 and why you need them, let&#8217;s get into the different options you have. Most fine collared shirts come with little plastic collar stays. However, these just cannot match metal collar stays. The plastic will wear fast as and is prone to breakage. If you take style seriously and you are ready to take your look to the next level of sophistication, an investment in a pair of collar stays is a must.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most popular materials for collar stays are sterling silver, stainless steel, gold and brass. It&#8217;s all a personal taste (and budget, of course).
