Ultimately, just remember that you can never be over-dressed, only underdressed!

Crinkled collars kill the look.

The number one mistake men make wearing a suit without tie is by ignoring the collar!

Without a tie in place, the collar is left to do whatever it wants. By this I mean flop downward, crinkle like an accordion and vanish slightly inside the jacket like the work of a terrible magician. Luckily, there are a few super easy ways to solve this.

You know those budget button down shirts you got on sale for a few bucks? Don’t wear them! While dropping the tie does offer a more casual look, you certainly don’t want to take the sharp look of a suit and mix it with relaxed button down look of a farmer. You’ve got to pick just one. It’s like wearing a Tuxedo with sweatpants, who even does that? Okay, not as dramatic but hopefully you get the idea.

With that said, opt for a real dress shirt instead. For good measure, throw in some collar stays, make sure you use the iron beforehand, and use a little starch for a crisp and strong collar hold. If you want to be lazy about it, just ask your dry cleaner to do it for you.

How many buttons? It’s really up to you.

The more buttons you open, the more dramatic the look gets.

The same can be said for women looking to expose a little more of their boobs. One button is casual, two buttons is in the range of casual, while three could be considered reserved for those looking to give off some serious sex appeal and relaxed, romantic vibes. In the opposite regard, fully buttoning up your dress shirt brings back a bit of the professional look.

Your undershirt should remain a mystery to wandering eyes.

No one should see it.

That means a crew cut t-shit isn’t going to well, cut it. Go with a deep v-neck tee. Of course, also consider that you don’t have to wear an undershirt if you prefer not to. Granted for most of you gentleman, you might feel somewhat “naked” at first. Though, over time that feeling fades away and you will forget about it entirely.
