The KlassiQue Dress Shirt: Check your Collar

Just as shoes or a tie to an outfit, a dress shirt distinguishes itself at the collar.  The most popular issue in selecting a dress shirt besides the cut is the collar and how to pair it with a tie.  Lets take some time to explore the right collar tie combinations for the modern gentleman. 

Simple

The Semispread:  A well-balanced collar that isn’t to narrow or wide, the semispread is great for any man to wear.  It doesn’t make a bold statement like the spread collar because it’s not to tall or square.  This goes best with almost any tie size and knot.  Banana Republic

Sophisticated

The Spread:  Making a statement is the perfect reason to wear a spread collar.  Pairs perfect with a larger tie, and knot to fill the wide space.  No matter season or occasion, this collar is surely for the fashionable and bold.  Make sure that your accessories match the size, because a small watch doesn’t look nice with this ensemble.  This collar is perfect for after hours without a tie because of the spread collars tend to be stiff, and wont fold or buckle with the right collar stays.

Classic

The Straight Point:  The most universal of all, the straight point collar.  With its longer look, this goes best with any tie and collar bar.  This is also a nice look for taller or larger men.  Just remember that the size of the tie knot should match accordingly.  If you want a classic look that wont go out of style like the black lace shoes.
