Re: Contrast collar shirts - your impressions.
What is running along the shoulder seam of that shirt?
Beautiful collar.

These things seem to be like bow ties. They might or might not look good on you. Don't force them.

Re: Contrast collar shirts - your impressions.
I like these shirts.
The problem is how to wash them ?

Blue with white collar and cuffs is marred for me by unfortunate associations with 'wee' David Steel, the former Liberal politician.
'Go back to your constituencies and prepare for government.' etc, etc.

Re: Contrast collar shirts - your impressions.
The memory is going and I am repeating myself.
At least I am consistent. Next step contradicting myself in the same thread.

Re: Contrast collar shirts - your impressions.
I do enjoy seeing the contrast of contrast collar shirts, however I think they look best without a jacket unless one is re-enacting Wall Street in the 1980s
...hey! there's an idea for a new forum!!!

Re: Contrast collar shirts - your impressions.
I'm curious about the intended use of the contrasting collar button-down shirt (1st picture in the thread). It's nice, but to my eyes it seems to combine incompatible images. I'd love to know more (Charlie Wilson was wearing them in the movie "CW's War", IIRC).

Re: Contrast collar shirts - your impressions.
It all derives from stiff separate white collars which the professionals and managers wore; below them were the blue collar workers in their artisan's overalls and below them Jack Louster and Joe Bloggs in their rags...Mind you, Marc Grayson will, as a matter of principle, now have a different explanation.

Re: Contrast collar shirts - your impressions.
Separate collars is the reason. They came in white and still do.
I like them - currently have blue, pink, lilac, stripes x 3 all with white collars and cuffs. They look good under a suit and they improve the range of ties that can be worn with the shirt if it is patterned. They also offer a show of white at the back of the neck and cuffs which is often a better look than the main fabric.
