Does my shirt collar look too loose, or is it okay?

Normally I wear 16" neck which feels pretty tight, I upsized to 16.5" Brooks Brothers shirt. It feels okay, but I'm able to fit a finger between my neck and front button. I've included pics with and without tie.

yes, looks fine. You want to be able to fit a finger between your neck and collar; if you can't it's too tight.

It sits pretty well against your collar. If you can place a finger inside and still find it comfortable, then it'll still feel comfortable for you post shrinkage.
