Order Fatherkiller tuxedo online at Suitable

A fatherkiller is a formal shirt collar often worn in combination with a tuxedo. The grim name ‘fatherkiller’ probably comes from a mistranslation made by Germans from the French word for ‘blackhead’. This nickname arose because people quickly spilled food on it during dining. In English, this collar is called ‘wingtip’; a reference to the forward-folded points of the collar that resemble wings. At Suitable, you'll find a wide range of Fatherkiller tuxedo shirts.

The elegance of a fatherkiller tuxedo shirt

The collar of a fatherkiller tuxedo shirt is its most distinctive feature. Unlike regular shirts, this type of shirt has a stand-up collar specifically designed for wearing a bow tie or bow. The collar is often reinforced to maintain its shape, adding a refined look to the whole. This detail emphasizes the lines of your neck and ensures a stylish finish.

Fashionably wearing a fatherkiller tuxedo shirt

Although the fatherkiller is primarily designed for chic occasions such as gala dinners, weddings or opera nights, it can also be subtly incorporated into an outfit for less formal events. Pair it with a stylish blazer and a chino pant for a smart casual look suitable for cocktail parties or business receptions. Prefer to dress more formally? Try experimenting with a navy blue or bordeaux men's suit for a more bold and contemporary style.
