I like this ensemble, except for that weird cuff thing.

Nice colour combination: two decent, neutral tones and a strong one, it always works.

Sadly there are people who actually will wear such monstrosities.

Very trendy here these Balenciaga shoes:

There's a clear attempt to get a blend of browns. But it's on the verge of getting washed out.

I really hate the way you see bits of the tie , rather than the only part near the collar that you should see - the knot- , with these spread collars.

Looks better without the tie. And with the blue shirt.

Shoes look great and are the right choice.

We have different tastes, Sammy. I love spread collars.

I was happy with my face until I started seeing myself on Microsoft Teams.

We have different tastes, Sammy. I love spread collars.

But the tie need to be chosen properly and tied correctly.

But the tie need to be chosen properly and tied correctly.

Agree about this, but, as I see, there's nothing wrong (it could be somewhat shorter) with that tie. With such a spread collar it's inevitable to see some of the tie beyond the knot. Otherwise you should tie a very big knot. The tie is good and properly tie, in my opinion. I would possibly choose something more contrasting though.

Fully agree with this. Something about spread collars that just doesn’t work for me. I think the geometry of the collar v the jacket and the tie works well in the triangles that get created - and the spread collar creates a straight line that just breaks that.

Isn't that more of a cutaway collar? And, should usually be worn with a larger knot than a four-in-hand.

Not my collar.

Besides the spread and the cut-away collar

I also like the classic Neapolitan collar

Sorry for causing some repulsion, but I wanted to show how those D'Avino shirts wear.

I thought it was called a 'spread collar'. I assume the cutaway is an extreme spread? I'm not up on the terminology and only have a few 'spreads' much preferring button downs. I'm rather broad in the chest and wide in the shoulder and I recall Vox advising me years ago that if didn't want to accentuate that width (and facial width) I should avoid spread (or cutaway) collars.
Definitely needs a larger knot to avoid that look.

Floris: Can you give some kind of a warning next time?

I've a good collection of Inglese shirts. They are the dogs. My favorite maker. The only downer is paying the customs. That and theres no reduction for VAT on his website. He'll send you lots of fabrics to choose from in any given colour via email. Funny thing is I always make a great choice, though I guess their all pretty good.

 

[doghouse]

I've always wondered what the great Sartos opinion on Inglese vs. Cordone shirts it. Maybe Lumpen can ask him

 

[florisgreen]

Another beautiful collar (semi-spread).

Does Lumpen have Sarto private phone number?

 

[florisgreen]

Also very nice, G. Inglese.

 

[florisgreen]

This collar, intended to be worn without a tie, would be the right choice for a more relaxed look. Nice cloth as well.

 

[belinmad]

This guy Benedikt tends to always have a pretty strong sense of style I think.

I own quite a few of their ties and hankies (Shibumi Firenze), they are quite elegant and beautiful, in my opinion.

Great example of how it shouldn't be over complicated.
