Point 1: “Choose a collar shape that looks good even without a tie!
Depending on the collar type of the shirt, the collar opening may be narrow and feel tight when worn without a tie, or the collar may be misshapen, giving others a casual impression with no 3D effect around the face. When wearing no necktie, you should choose a collar that maintains a three-dimensional impression even without a necktie. For example, a horizontally open horizontal collar (cutaway shirt) or a button-down shirt with the collar fixed to the body to maintain a three-dimensional look. Most shirts designed specifically for cool biz wear are also tailored to maintain a three-dimensional appearance of the collar, so be sure to check them out.

Point 2: “Do not open the front buttons of your shirt too much to maintain a clean look.
When wearing a shirt with no necktie, one thing to consider is how open the front buttons of the shirt are. If all the buttons are closed, the shirt may feel tight, and if they are opened too wide, it may give others the impression that the shirt is not clean. Japanese people have thin chests, and opening the front buttons too much tends to make them look sloppy rather than sexy.
Point 3: “Do not show unintended glimpses of innerwear!
It is best to avoid unintentionally revealing functional innerwear at the neck when the shirt is unbuttoned. If you wear a crew-neck T-shirt as a layer, there is no problem, but if you wear functional innerwear simply to prevent perspiration, choose an innerwear with a deep neck to prevent others from seeing it. It is also important to keep in mind that skin-colored innerwear is the least likely to cause transparency.
