What is difference between french collar and Italian collar?

Answer 1

French collar tends to be a bit longer in comparison to italian, though not necessarily a deal-breaker. The largest difference would be the 'spread' of the collar. Italian collars are 'wider' than french collars.

Italian collars form a larger void for the tie knot, often showing the whole knot. French collars tend to cloak the top two corners a bit and the more severe angle tends to lengthen the line of shirt. Therefore, french collars can help provide length to linebacker-necked style-conscious men. Italian collars help to 'open' up a thin face or make it seem less severe.
