A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Collar Stays

If you've ever found yourself wrestling with a wayward collar that just won't behave, you're not alone. Collars have a mind of their own, and without the right tools, they can be a real style saboteur. Whether it’s curling, flopping, or just plain looking messy, a rogue collar can ruin even the most carefully curated outfit. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to let your collar take charge. With Wurkin Stiffs’ Magnetic Collar Stays, you can effortlessly keep your collars looking crisp, clean, and on point all day long.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to use these little game-changers like a pro. From prepping your shirt to adjusting on the fly, we’ve got you covered. Ready to up your collar game? Let’s dive in.

What Are Collar Stays?

Collar stays—also known as collar inserts or collar stiffeners—are the unsung heroes of the shirt world. These small, flat pieces of metal or plastic might not look like much, but don’t let their size fool you. When slipped into the pockets on the underside of your shirt collar, they provide the structure needed to keep your collar looking clean and professional throughout the day.

Think of collar stays as the backstage crew of your wardrobe, working behind the scenes to keep everything in order. And while there are different types out there, Wurkin Stiffs takes it a step further with their Magnetic Collar Stays. These aren’t your average stiffeners; they bring a little innovation to the table, ensuring your collar stays perfectly positioned no matter where the day takes you.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays

Wurkin Stiffs offers a range of magnetic collar stays tailored to keep every type of collar looking its best. Here's how to use each product for that perfect finish:

1. Power Stays® for Dress Shirts

  • Prepare Your Shirt: Ensure your dress shirt is clean and pressed, with the collar pockets easily accessible.
  • Insert Power Stays: Slide the metal Power Stays into the collar pockets with the pointed end facing the collar tips.
  • Connect Magnet Inside Shirt: Place the magnetic Power Buttons® on the inside of your shirt, directly behind where the Power Stays are positioned. The magnets will lock onto the stays, keeping your collar firm.
  • Adjust and Go: Throughout the day, simply reposition the magnets if needed for a flawless collar look.

2. Stiff-N-Stays® for Everyday Shirts

  • Apply Stiff-N-Stays: Insert the plastic Stiff-N-Stays into the collar pockets, enjoying the benefit of their "Flex-Back" technology that prevents bending.
  • Connect Magnet Inside Shirt: Attach the Power Buttons® inside your shirt, aligning them with the Stiff-N-Stays. These magnets provide a strong hold, keeping your collar crisp.
  • Adjust and Go: Need a quick tweak? Move the magnets as required for all-day comfort and style.

3. Polo Stays® for Soft Collars

  • Apply Polo Stays: Use the button-shaped polo collar stays for soft collars. Place them at the collar points.
  • Connect Magnet Inside Shirt: Attach the Power Buttons® inside your shirt, aligned with the Polo Stays to keep the collar looking neat without any sag.
  • Adjust and Go: Quickly adjust the magnets throughout the day to maintain a polished, relaxed look.

Benefits of Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays

Wurkin Stiffs isn’t just here to keep your collar in line—they’re here to revolutionize it. Here’s why their magnetic collar stays are the ones you’ll want to slide into your wardrobe ASAP:

1. A Stay for Every Shirt Style

From boardroom to barbecue, Wurkin Stiffs has your back—literally. Got a dress shirt that needs to look sharp all day? Reach for the Power Stays—made from German surgical steel that’s tougher than a Monday morning and won’t rust, no matter how many times you throw it in the wash. More of a polo kind of guy? Meet Polo Stays®—button-shaped, also crafted from German surgical steel, designed specifically to keep those soft collars looking their best. Prefer the flexibility of plastic? Stiff-N-Stays® come with a proprietary "Flex-Back" feature that prevents them from bending like a cheap lawn chair.

2. The Strongest Hold Known to Man (or Shirt)

Let’s talk magnets, specifically Power Buttons®—the strongest magnets on this planet (seriously, we checked). Combine them with Wurkin Stiffs’ Stiff-N-Stays® or Power Stays®, and you’ve got a Magnalock™ system that holds like it’s got something to prove. These magnets are even wrapped in a protective plastic covering to keep your shirts in perfect condition. You’ll wonder how you ever managed without them.

3. Precision Adjustments, Anytime, Anywhere

Life isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are your collar needs. Wurkin Stiffs gives you the power to tweak and adjust your collar on the fly, so it’s always looking just right. Whether you’re sprinting to a meeting, nailing a presentation, or grabbing a drink after work, your collar stays exactly where it should.

Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays do more than just hold things together—they elevate your entire appearance game with their clever design, killer materials, and no-nonsense functionality. Trust us, once you go magnetic, you’ll never go back.

Comparison: Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays vs. Traditional Collar Stays

When it comes to collar stays, traditional options are like using a flip phone in a smartphone world—functional, but seriously lacking. Those old-school stays, whether they’re flimsy plastic or bendable metal, do just enough to get by… until they don’t. They bend, they rust, they snap, and worst of all, they have zero flexibility. Need a quick fix in the middle of the day? Sorry, you’re stuck with whatever position your collar decided to take that morning. It’s like being on a bad blind date with no way out.

Now, cue the hero of the story: Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays. These aren’t your grandpa’s collar stays. With Power Stays® made from German surgical steel, you get durability so tough it laughs in the face of rust and keeps your collar looking fresh from dawn to dusk. Stiff-N-Stays® boast a "Flex-Back" feature that keeps them from doing the bendy break dance that lesser plastic stays are known for. And for those soft, casual collars, Polo Stays® are here to make sure your laid-back look doesn’t turn into sloppy seconds.

But let’s talk magnets—specifically, the Power Buttons®, the strongest magnets on the planet. These little guys create a bond so tight it’s like your collar is superglued to perfection, but without the sticky mess. They let you adjust your collar throughout the day like a boss, keeping it looking on point no matter what.

In a nutshell, Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays don’t just raise the bar; they build a whole new one. So, go ahead—ditch those flimsy stays and upgrade to a solution that finally knows what it's doing.

The Role of Accessories

Collar stays keep your shirt collar crisp, but a truly polished look goes beyond the collar. Small accessories, such as a sleek silver tie bar, can provide the finishing touch, ensuring your outfit stays neat and professional throughout the day. You could also go with a black tie bar if you're looking for something darker, or a gold tie bar if you're looking for an extra pop of color.

Another accessory to keep you looking fresh and on point is our lint roller.

Just as Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays prevent your collar from misbehaving, the right tie bar keeps your tie in place while adding a subtle yet sophisticated element to your ensemble. 

 

Collar Confidence, Locked and Loaded

So, there you have it. If you’re still fiddling with flimsy collar stays that bend like a bad alibi or metal ones that rust like a forgotten shipwreck, it’s time to make a change. Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic Collar Stays are here to rescue your wardrobe from mediocrity. Whether you need the ironclad durability of Power Stays®, the flexibility of Stiff-N-Stays®, or the casual cool of Polo Stays®, there’s a perfect match for every collar in your closet.

With the strongest magnets on earth, innovative design, and materials tough enough to withstand anything your day throws at you, Wurkin Stiffs is not just a step up—it’s a giant leap. Say goodbye to collars that curl, flop, or just plain misbehave. Say hello to a look that stays polished, professional, and ready to conquer whatever the day brings.

So go ahead, grab yourself some Wurkin Stiffs and let your collar stand tall. Because when it comes to keeping things in line, why settle for anything less than the best?

Now, go out there and own it!
