<\/p>\nThe dress shirt collar should fit comfortably without being too loose. \u00a0As tight or snug as possible without being uncomfortable. \u00a0You should be able to fit 1-2 fingers between the collar and your neck when it is buttoned.\u00a0 You should not have a large gap showing between the collar and neck. \u00a0Heavier men should make sure their necks are not puffing out over the top of the collar.<\/p>\n
