Correct collar style and dimensions

[MRR-ESQ]

Is there a proper dress shirt collar style and height?

I finally found an online M2M that meets most of my shirt requirements. Before I purchase another 5-10 shirts, I would like to make sure that I am requesting appropriate details.

The shirts they sent so far have what I consider short collars (tips not covered by lapels) similar to below.

However, I think larger collars that are covered look better (as below).

Is one more correct than the other? Please do not say that "style is a choice, do what you want". What I want is to have what is more correct and/or more classic. FWIW, I am an attorney who almost always wears dress shirts, but Seattle is a very informal area and Covid/Zoom made things even less formal. Oval face shape.

Collar tips should rest under your jacket lapels. The first picture is far too short. Second is better but the jacket doesn’t fit correctly (big collar gap).

Thank you.

I agree, that particular photo has an ill-fitting jacket. I don’ didn’t want to spend a long time finding a better photo.

I also think the tie knot is too small ( I personally wear only a Windsor). But would you say the collar is NOT too large?

Suggest that you peruse this thread.

In most cases a Windsor is probably a little too big and too symmetric. Most here prefer a four-in-hand or double FIH. I am partial to the Pratt if I want a slightly bigger knot than the FIH.

I always go with symmetrical tie knots. Maybe what I wear is a half-windsor. I cannot seem to tie it in my head, and it is too late at night for me to go in the other room and grab a tie. I'll have to use muscle memory tomorrow to see what I do.

But that is off topic. If the collar in my second photo looks fine, then I'll try to order those collars on my next shirts.
