A shirt with a mandarin collar – also known as a ‘mandarin collar shirt’ or ‘Mao collar’ – is a collar without the usual flaps typically associated with standard shirt collars. Shirts with a mandarin collar are generally categorised as a slightly less formal style of shirt, but can still be worn in many different situations.

The story goes that the mandarin collar dates back to 19th-century China, where it was possible to detach the collar so that it could be washed easily, rather than having to wash the whole shirt.

Shirts with mandarin collars in 2022?

In recent years, shirts with mandarin collars have begun to make an appearance on the fashion scene in northern countries. As mentioned, this is a slightly less formal style of shirt, but it can still be worn for a night out or other social occasions where you’d like to wear a shirt that isn’t too formal. If you wanted to pair the shirt with something cool, you could do so with a pair of our performance trousers, structure trousers or performance jeans.
