Contrast collar shirts?

Does anyone have recommendations for contrast collar shirts, preferably under $100? Spier & Mackay don't offer any, as far as I can tell. There's some from Brooks Brothers & PRL I might be able to afford on sale, & I'm continuing to keep an eye on eBay. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Not super common in the US, try UK retailers.

This is a fairly new shop. Like a 1 guy company lol. Out of NYC. Just built a showroom. Has a lot of transparency on social media for what goes into the products. But I don’t own one so these are just my observations https://lealfre.com/collections/shirts

Pretty limited options here

yeah you might find them if you google Winchester shirt. Not a good look though, IMO

you're gonna get a bunch of people saying "haha nice you look like Howard Hamlin"

Breton stripe with white collar and cuff is kind of a classic London banker look. As with everything else, we judge how much we like it through our own social lens.

BTW, OP, what are you going for? What AAE linked is very different from what I assumed you wanted, which is the breton-stripe white-collar-cuff.

Yea the site I linked has an unfortunate cover image (dark green, if that’s what you’re seeing on URL preview) but lists a classic blue banker style as well

On the topic, what's a good colour combination for these contrast collar shirts?

Sky blue with white is the only one I can think of

Or Gordon Gekko

Imo unless you’re specifically trying to channel finance vibes, this is a look that should be avoided

bl0rp•8/22/23, 11:04 AM

It mostly gives off vibes of someone who desperately wants to look like Gordon Gekko. Not a good look, big toxic masculinity vibes
