You must be in a clean shirt, and not to forget, a clean shirt accompanied by a proper collar is of utmost importance. A clean collar can be maintained with the help of a collar stiffener or a collar stay. Whether or not you wear a tie, you must take special care of your collar, as a crumpled up collar is surely going to give wrong impression about you to your peers. Impression is something about which all of us are particularly careful. If not for the first time, then there are very slim chances of making a good impression the next time. So, it is important to understand that your impression should be good on your peers, and you should take care of every single detail which helps in forming an impression about you, right from your dress, to your watch, to your hair, and everything else.
No matter what it is called, a collar stiffener, a collar stay, a bone, a collar tab, or a collar stick, they all serve the same purpose. A plastic collar stiffener or a plastic collar stay is light on your pocket, and also feels good to use in your collar. You must be careful in selecting the width of the plastic collar stiffener, as something, which is too wide for the collar, would not fit in, and won't be of any use for you. The length of the plastic collar stay should also be the exact same as that of the collar of your shirt. So, you need to be careful when you buy a plastic collar stiffener, as too wide or too long a stiffener is good for nothing. You must keep in mind the exact size of your shirt so as to get the right size of the plastic collar stay. Plastic collar stiffeners are generally fitted into the shirts, and hence are comparatively cheaper compared to the metal collar stiffeners or any other kind of collar stiffener for that matter.
If your shirt is expensive, it is recommended that you go in for a removable plastic collar stiffener, so that it does not stick on to the fabric of the shirt during its wash. However, the removable plastic collar stiffeners are more expensive compared to the permanent stiffeners. Another drawback of this kind of a collar stay would be, it might get tedious at times to remove the stiffener every single time that you have to wash the shirt. Permanent plastic collar stiffeners are more beneficial for those shirts, which are worn on a regular basis, so that you do not have to remove them frequently.
Plastic collar stays are of different kinds, namely single end tapered, single end pointed, single end rounded, both end pointed, custom style, and both end rounded. Depending on what kind of shirt you have, you need to choose the right kind of collar stiffener.
