And no, that its an Armani point doesn't make it any better. That's just the same cheap look at a higher price with slightly better fabric.

Of course, some might be inclined to say that the spread collar and windsor knot on an American male under the age of 40 is the automotive equivalent of a Hummer or a Ferrari. It just kind of screams "I have a small penis so I compensate by calling undue attention to this noose around my neck that I subconciously view as a proxy unit."
But I would never be so judgmental and make that sort of generalization. I will simply point out that nothing looks worse than a man with anything approaching a round or oval face in a spread collar with a big knot. The look is exactly the same as a balloon tied off with a bit of ribbon. Hence the utility of a point collar and a four-in-hand. They tend to lengthen the line of the face.
