A Cuban collar shirt gives you an open-neck look for warm days, holidays and relaxed evenings. The Rare Rabbit Cuban shirt collection for men includes printed and plain styles in boxy, regular and tailored fits, mostly in cotton and viscose. Pick a floral print for a beach trip, a black Cuban collar shirt for a night out, or a plain white style for brunch. Use the Occasion, Fabric and Fit filters to narrow down your options.

What Is a Cuban Collar Shirt?

A Cuban shirt is a button-front shirt with a Cuban collar, also called a camp collar. The collar is cut as one piece and lies flat against the chest. It spreads open at the neck and forms a soft notch, much like a small lapel. You wear it open, not buttoned to the top.

The style traces back to warm-weather shirts from Cuba and Latin America. It became a resort favourite in the 1950s and remains a core piece of relaxed summer menswear today.

Cuban Collar vs Camp Collar

They are the same collar. "Camp collar" is the more common term in the US. "Cuban collar" and "revere collar" appear more often in the UK and India. All three names describe the same open, flat collar.

How a Cuban Collar Differs from a Regular Shirt Collar

A classic shirt collar sits on a separate band, called a collar stand, and stands up around the neck. It suits a buttoned-up look and a tie. A Cuban collar has no stand, so it rests flat and stays open. Most Cuban shirts also have a straight hem, which looks neat when you leave the shirt untucked.

Explore Rare Rabbit Cuban Shirt Styles

1.Printed Cuban Shirts

Prints make up much of this collection. Floral styles such as the Junee blue floral print shirt suit a holiday mood. The Palamo tropical print shirt works for beach and resort trips. Abstract, animal, geometric and polka prints give a bolder option for parties and evenings out. For more patterns beyond the Cuban collar, browse the full range of men's shirts.

2.Plain Cuban Collar Shirts

Plain Cuban shirts suit men who prefer a cleaner look. The Manga range comes in solid shades such as white, olive and dark maroon, in a textured knit fabric. A plain shirt also lets you add colour through your trousers, shoes or accessories.

3.Black Cuban Collar Shirts

A black Cuban collar shirt takes you from day to night. The Castro black abstract print shirt comes in viscose with a regular fit. Wear a black Cuban shirt with beige or white trousers for contrast, or with dark denim for an evening look.

4.White Cuban Collar Shirts

A white Cuban collar shirt is the easiest piece to pair. The Manga white Cuban collar shirt is a plain cotton style in a regular fit. Wear it with light trousers for brunch, with shorts at the beach, or open over a T-shirt for a casual day out.

5.Full Sleeve Cuban Collar Shirts

Most Cuban shirts have short sleeves, but a full sleeve Cuban collar shirt gives the same open collar more coverage. It suits evenings, air-conditioned venues and cooler months. The Lexa black full sleeve Cuban collar shirt has a geometric print in cotton. Roll the sleeves to the forearm for a relaxed look, or keep them down for dinner.

Choose Your Fit: Boxy, Regular or Tailored

The fit changes how a Cuban shirt looks and feels. Rare Rabbit offers three fits in this collection:

1. Boxy fit: A wider, squarer cut that falls straight from the shoulders. It gives the most relaxed, vacation-ready look and suits printed viscose styles.
2. Regular fit: A balanced cut with room to move. It works for most body types and most occasions, from city days to parties.
3. Tailored fit: A closer cut for a sharper look. Styles such as the Astel polka print shirt suit smart casual plans where you want a cleaner shape.

Most styles come in sizes XS to 3XL, and select styles extend to 4XL. Each product page lists the model's height and size, so you can compare the fit before you buy.

Cotton vs Viscose: Which Fabric to Choose

Cotton feels soft, holds its shape and suits everyday wear. It works well for plain, white and full sleeve Cuban shirts that you want to wear often.

Viscose is light and has a fluid drape that moves with you. It carries prints with depth, which makes it a popular choice for floral, tropical and abstract Cuban shirts.

How to Wear a Cuban Shirt

Cuban shirt style works best when the rest of the outfit stays simple. Let the collar and print lead, and keep everything else clean.

What to Wear Under a Cuban Shirt

You can wear a Cuban shirt on its own with the top button open. For a casual layered look, wear it open over a plain white or neutral T-shirt.

Tucked or Untucked

Wear it untucked for the classic look, since the straight hem is made for it. For a smarter outfit, tuck a regular or tailored fit Cuban shirt into trousers and add a belt.

Trousers, Jeans and Shorts

1. Pair a printed shirt with plain trousers in beige, white or navy.
2. Wear a plain or black Cuban shirt with jeans for a relaxed evening look.
3. Choose shorts for beach days, resort trips and summer weekends.
4. For a matched look, explore men's co-ords.

Layers for Cooler Weather

Wear a Cuban shirt under a shacket on cooler days, or under an unstructured blazer for a smart casual dinner.

Shoes to Match

Loafers give a Cuban shirt a polished finish. Sandals suit the beach and poolside. Clean sneakers work for city days and travel.
