It's been a long argument I've been having with a guy I work with. I have a smaller frame, about 5'6, 140 lbs. I always wear wide spread collars and tie my ties in full windsors.

Who do you think is in the wrong here? I'm personally comfortable with the full windsor and think I look good with it. but I thought I'd ask since I'm…See More

I've discovered I have a mildly specific taste, but its still pretty open.Only places I've actually shopped for businesswear are Le Chateau, and the online store Tailor4Less. The bought a suit from each, and determined that I'm never buying off the rack again.However, ties are more of a mystery here. I ended up buying 6 altogether. And I love the glossy look on some of them. Others are matte and I find I never wear them for that reason. So I'm…See More

SavLaw replied to Shawn Barter's discussion Couple of shirt questions"Yep, ring around the collar. It is not hygiene, it is that we all perspire and it forms around the collar. Hit with some stain remover, rub it with a brush and it will come out.
