Believe it or not but in Germany they do sell these kind of shirts but with a plain light blue body and button cuffs.

For more delicate fabrics, it makes perfect sense. Those gauzy end-on-end shirts always wear at alarming rates at cuff and collar for me.  But yes, like bow ties and other noticeable items, the use must be limited to avoid being viewed as too affected.

Well, my daughter told me a few years ago that only guys over sixty should wear white collared shirts.
So faithful to my daughter I am now 63 and wearing a few of them. I'm not yet the guy in the white collared shirt, but maybe that is a better alternative to the the guy who wears a lot of white shirts.

One variation of white collar and cuff that I used to do was putting a lighter shade of blue or pink for collar and cuffs than for the body. You had to get just the right contrast to not make it stand out too much and not look like the collar and cuff was more faded than the body. It had a rich, pleasing effect.

There is another school of thought for white collar and/or cuffs which is men who think they cant wear busier or brighter shirts to work; the white collar and cuffs makes everything instantly acceptable for situations where they feel their clothing shouldn't be too distracting. That has died down a bit now that more color and pattern is permissible for men than before 2009.

I was just saying how American Psycho it gets in here
