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.

I'll agree. If you're thin, the spread collar/big knot looks better. If you're festive, the point collar/4-in-hand thins you.
But I think the 4-in-hand looks more like a balloon knot. And we all know that balloon knots resemble assholes.
