In the business world of tropical countries like Thailand, many people may wear shirts without tying a necktie.

However, if you abruptly remove the necktie from the usual way of wearing a suit—which normally consists of a shirt, tie, and suit as a set—it can make the wearer’s appearance look less put-together.

This time, we would like to introduce a way to choose a shirt that looks complete without having to wear a necktie.

First, an important aspect is the design around the collar.

For shirt collar styles, you should start by choosing between a button-down collar or a cutaway collar.

The reason is that even if you unbutton the top button, the collar can still stand firmly, giving a clean and neat appearance.

Next, it’s not necessary to choose shirts with loud patterns just because you’re not wearing a tie. In fact, we recommend designs with only small patterns and light colors, taking into account how well they match with your pants and jacket.

In Thai corporate society, there are also many social gatherings after work.

Let’s try choosing a shirt that fits your lifestyle, while paying a little attention to the image that your business clients will see.
