For any businessman, it is imperative to look clean, presentable and professional at all times. One of the best ways to do this is of course, to wear a clean, crisp shirt that looks as professional and presentable as you are. However, when you have a shirt that has an unruly collar, you are going to need to iron it incessantly to get it to stay down. However, even ironing sometimes is not enough, and your collar's tips will point upward toward your face, making it stand out in a negative way. For this reason, you need Collar Stays that will keep your collars crisp and neat at all times. Men's collar stays are a superior way to keep your collars sleek and flat.

Collar stays can often be referred to as bones, knuckles, sticks or even tabs. In general, there are two different types of collars, those that have a glued lining inside, and those that do not. Both of these types of collars have a slit for collar stays, in order to keep your collar flat and presentable. Some collar stays that come with the shirt cannot be removed, while others can. The only type of dress shirt that does not offer the ability to use collar stays is a button-down collar type. Some of the highest quality shirts available on the market feature interchangeable collar stays. However, these are generally made out of plastic and are flimsy, flexible, and most often are lost or destroyed in the wash. Therefore, the best way to get a crisp collar is to use collar stays. There is a wide variety of collar stays in all types of material, including brushed and polished steel, brushed and polished titanium as well as 24 karat gold plated brass.

These metal collar stays are much sturdier than the plastic collar stays that came with your shirt, and often will not become damaged or lost if you forget to remove them before you wash them. Metal collar stays are superior to plastic collar stays, because they lack flexibility and are much heavier. This provides you with a crisp, clean, professional look for all of your shirts, all the time. Because you have such a wide variety of shirts, probably from several different manufacturers, you are going to need different sizes of collar stays in order to make your shirts look proper all the time. The best metal collar stays will come in four different lengths, which included 2, 2.5, 2.75 and 3 inches. This is an excellent variety, which allows you to choose the proper collar stay for every shirt in your closet.

Once you have made a purchase of collar stays, you are going to need a place to keep them, so that they do not become lost. While some men choose to keep them in a small jewelry box or another type of container, you can get a collar stays organizer, which is a wall-mounted clip, to keep all of your collar stays in one place, so you do not have to worry about losing them. Find out for yourself the difference that high quality, metal collar stays and a wall-mounted clip can make for you and your shirts.
