Lesson #78: Advice about contrast-collar dress shirts

INFEASIBLE: Boring contrasts

Contrast-collar shirts used to be the shiznite in the 80′s, but they’ve never stopped being hot and seem to be experiencing a revival in recent years. Men Style (yes, please do groan) are right (!) that the contrast-collar is a good addition any wardrobe, but wrong (there we go) that it’s purely bar and party material. Please guys, I see suits walk around Century City rocking ones everyday. That being said, you can only do collar-contrast and a tie with something of the above type. And even then it’s reaaaaally iffy: you simply don’t want too much contrast with your chestly adornments, gentlemen. And, frankly, that John Varvatos (a whooping $245) is too plain to rock alone.

Feasible: Contrast with deep colors
Word of caution: I never said contrast-collar shirts were easy, I’m just saying they’re not lost causes and that, yes, some men can rock them.
