Woven shirts have more options than most other men's apparel, and Strom identified the three main considerations: the collar, the cuffs and the fabric. Between straight point collars, button-down collars, spread collars, barrel cuffs, French cuffs, silk, linen and cotton, there are innumerable choices and combinations—your mission is to keep it simple. According to Strom, the most standard and universally flattering options are point collars, barrel cuffs and cotton or cotton blends. Stay away from the spread-collar silk shirts—as Clooney said to Brad Pitt in Ocean's Eleven, "Ted Nugent called, he wants his shirt back."
