What type of collar should I get

[thewatcher101]

It is between classic, cut away, and spread. Given my face type which i believe is oblong and 5'9".

First is cut away which is about one inch wider then a classic very minor differences, I wasn't able to find a spread shirt at the store to try on.

Both look fine. I usually prefer semi-cutaway collars, but pointed collars can look better on some people in some outfits. A full spread -- IMO -- never looks good.

Both look ok.
What needs work is your knots on your ties...

Usually the collar spread should balance your face. Since your face is not visible it is hard to make a good recommendation. However, on the second photo it seems, that your face is rather slim and long, so the cut-away might be the better option for you.

Might I suggest a smaller collar also. The first picture appears respectable. The second, not so much. The last two look over-sized also (based on collar rumpling).

The first collar is too small. The second collar is too big. With an optimally fitted collar, you should (with mild effort) be able to slip two fingers under the collar at the throat. It should neither choke you or reveal a gaping hole. The fit on the second set of photos appears better but the collar has some rumpling issues, possibly caused by the tie. Keep the smile though. It suits you far better than the severe look. Lastly, if the collar is too big and you try to cheat by leaving the top button undone and relying on the tie knot to hold things together, you would be commiting another atrocity altogether. If I were forced to choose between the lesser of the 3 evils you have posted, I would choose the collar in the second set of photos, rumples and all. That aside, I am sorry to report that your quest continues for the perfectly fitted collar. You may also want to try a button down collar as it will provide the option of wearing a tie or not. Also, heed the advice given by ter1413 on your knots.
