Let's tie the shirt

I have to admit that I am humbled by the response I am getting from blokes out there and even ladies. The first half of the this year I have dedicated it to laying down styling rules. We all know how important styling is, the first thing a person sees in you is what you wear and not your personality.
Today I want us to focus on simple rules about shirts, here we go
1.Collar should grease your neck and not constrict it
2. Cuff links should meet at the point where your palms begin
3. Shoulder seam should be at  your collar bone
4. Sleeves should not be  so tight as to show the details of your arm and it should not be low to billow
5. When you fold your hands behind your head , the shirt should not come off the pants. If it does then it means that your armholes are not high enough.
6. Shirt length should be such  that  you  can bend  and make natural movements  without it coming off  your pants.
7. There should not be excess fabric  in the chest and waste. This causes billowing.
8. The choice of tie should be based on the collar type of your shirt and the body size.
9. About 2 centimetres of shirt collar should be revealed by the jacket collar
10. Shirt sleeve should never cover your watch
11. Finally I leave you with an illustration of how to roll your shirt
