Hello,
I'm 29 and in Business School, and sadly, I'm just now starting to figure out some things about male fashion.
I have always hated the shirts I've bought, excpet for one I got in Paris a few years ago. A friend told me that it was probably the "tailored fit" or slim fit of the shirt. This made sense because although I hadn't put my finger on it,.....I loved the tighter fit compared to the "tent" effect most of my shirts had.
So over the past year I have bought 4-5 brand new Jos. A Banks "tailored"shirts AND had all of my other suit shirts tailored professionally to be slim fitting. After all that,.....I realized that STILL, something was wrong. I didn't like the way they looked on me. I finally realized that it was collars.
Duh, right?
Well I posted last night to ask if collars could be changed by tailors to another style. I was told they can't. So now I need to know for sure what style is the one I like. I think it's the spread, but it could be the wide spread. Here are pictures: The first is the shirt I love. What kind of collar is this?
The second is one of the new shirts I bought. What kind of collar is this? Any ideas on if I could take these shirts back (worn a few times) or is there a good place to sell them. I really can't wear them now that I know I don't have to settle for collars I don't like. Thanks soooo much!!!!!
