Why the Collar Still Defines the Shirt
In menswear, the collar is far more than a functional detail—it’s the first impression, the silhouette enhancer, the subtle signal of sophistication. Whether styled under a tailored blazer or worn solo, the right collar frames the face and elevates the entire look.
Today’s shirts are pushing the boundaries of tradition while honoring timeless construction. Sartale brings together craftsmanship and contemporary flair in its curated shirt collection—combining heritage with precision.

The Spread Collar: Confident and Contemporary
The spread collar remains a hallmark of modern tailoring. Characterized by the wide distance between collar points, it offers an assertive, structured look. Ideal for semi-formal and formal settings, it pairs well with a tie but stands tall without one.
This collar works particularly well with sharp blazers and structured jackets, adding presence to the neckline without overwhelming it.
The Button-Down Collar: Functional Heritage Meets Daily Style
Originally developed for British polo players, the button-down collar now defines relaxed elegance. Sartale’s Dandy Life Denim Cotton Shirt with Button-Down Collar exemplifies this balance between casual and refined.
Crafted from 100% soft-washed denim cotton, this shirt features:
-
A classic button-down collar with hidden buttons
-
Slim fit for a modern silhouette
-
Rear yoke and side gussets for added durability
-
Mother-of-pearl buttons for understated polish
Perfect for layering under knitwear or wearing open over a T-shirt, it blends Italian craftsmanship with urban ease.

-
100% lightweight linen fabric

A three-button front placket
-
No collar stand for increased comfort

Loose fit ideal for hot-weather layering
