The resort collar

I’ve hated Hawaiian shirts since the days of Mr. von der Lippe. Even the charming Magnum in his Ferrari couldn’t convince me otherwise. Fortunately, those days are long behind us and I hoped everything was over.
I’ve always been interested in making men more beautiful. And then suddenly came the shock: a new collar shape was propagated under the name “resort collar”, which looked exactly as it did in Magnum’s day – turned up like a pyjama shirt. As I have made it my mission not necessarily to follow trends, but to interpret them, I had a new challenge.

We gave the shirt a zipper and reshaped the collar in such a way that we were able to dispense with the split and therefore the spread in the middle. The result is a curved shape without a bridge that allows for several wearing options. Fully folded over as a casual resort collar, raised at the back and folded over at the front as a cool Italian collar or fully raised as a masculine stand-up collar. And then we tried a new styling: we put a plain BW turtleneck under the shirt with the resort collar and perfected the look by tucking everything into a pair of high-waist leather trousers. Wearing shirts tucked into trousers is on the rise again. Some men prove that can look pretty good.
