Collar Studs

Collar studs are small, removable metal or plastic fasteners used to secure the collar of a dress shirt. These studs are typically inserted into small holes on the underside of the collar, and are designed to keep the collar points in place and prevent them from flapping or curling up. Collar studs are commonly used in formal or professional settings, and are often paired with a necktie or bowtie to create a polished and put-together look. The use of collar studs dates back to the late 19th century, when detachable collars were first introduced as a way to extend the life of dress shirts. These collars were typically made of stiff, starched fabric, and were designed to be removed and laundered separately from the shirt itself. Collar studs were used to attach the collar to the shirt, and allowed for easy removal and replacement of the collar as needed. Today, collar studs are less commonly used than they once were, as most dress shirts now come with permanently attached collars. However, they are still popular in certain circles, particularly among those who prefer the look and feel of a detachable collar. Collar studs are also sometimes used as a decorative element, with brightly colored or patterned studs adding a pop of color or visual interest to an otherwise plain shirt. Overall, collar studs are a small but important accessory for anyone looking to achieve a polished, professional look. Whether used for their functional or decorative properties, they remain a classic and timeless addition to any dress shirt.
