Why Everyone’s Obsessed with Collars & Co (And Your Team Will Be Too)

“Business casual” has always been a little confusing. Too formal and you look like you’re interviewing for your own job. Too chill and someone’s asking if you’re here to fix the Wi-Fi. That’s why we love Collars & Co at Crooked Monkey—they nail the sweet spot. Crisp, professional, and insanely comfortable, their pieces look sharp without trying too hard. Perfect for corporate gifts that say “I’ve got it together” and actually mean it.

A Dress Shirt That Doesn’t Feel Like One

Collars & Co cracked the code. They took everything people hate about dress shirts—stiff collars, scratchy fabrics, zero stretch—and tossed it out the window. Then they rebuilt the whole thing from the collar down.

The result? A genius blend of elegance and comfort. These shirts look like you spent 15 minutes ironing them and rehearsing your handshake. But they feel like your favorite tee. Think lightweight, breathable, and stretchy enough to dominate your day—from desk to dinner.

So yes, technically it’s a dress shirt. But it’s also the shirt you’ll want to wear even when there’s no meeting on the calendar.

Style That Works Overtime

Collars & Co pieces are ridiculously versatile. Heading into a client presentation? Throw one under a blazer. Team lunch? Rock it solo. Happy hour? Untuck it and still look like you’ve got it together.

And the collars? Always sharp. No flopping, sagging, or “wait, is that a polo?” moments. These are elevated collars that hold their shape—and their reputation.

Plus, they’ve got options:

• The Original Dress Collar Polo – a best-seller for a reason
• Quarter-Zip Performance Sweater – layered perfection
• Short-Sleeve Button-Downs – breezy, boss-level looks
• Dress Button-Down Shirt – crisp without the crunch

Basically, if your team has to wear something on top, Collars & Co has it covered.

Why Teams Love It (And HR Does Too)

People love these shirts because they deliver that sweet spot between put-together and practical. They look great on Zoom. They’re wrinkle-resistant for travel. And they make your team feel confident—without making them suffer through starch and sweat.

From a company culture perspective, that matters. When people are comfortable, they perform better. When they look good, they show up with energy. And when swag is actually stylish? They actually wear it.
