Mens Dress Shirt and Necktie Recommendations

Choose your shirt collars wisely. I recommend the wide spread collar with a windsor knot for more formal meetings and the semi-spread collar with a four-in-hand knot for general use.

Develop a large collection of both white and blue shirts. These colors work well with a variety of suit colors and patterns. Include both link cuffs (double or French cuffs) and barrel cuffs shirts made from 100% cotton in your collection.

As you well know, neckties come in a variety of colors and patterns. When developing a professional wardrobe that will establish you as a well dressed man, choose neckties that complement your personality. This is best achieved by choosing neckties that make personality statements with interesting fabrics and patterns, yet they’re subtle enough not to overshadow the gravity of your words. I recommend you build your collection of ties with a variety of stripes, small to medium dots, and solid neckties.

Use the necktie tying instructions above to master the art of tying a perfect Windsor and four-in-hand knot.
