Q: I never seem to get it right with jacket lapels and shirt collars. Is there any easy solution? Maureen – South Africa

A: Lapels and collars look better if they have similar lines, so they work together rather than against each other. Pointed lapels on a jacket need equally pointed lines on the shirt, not rounded collars or frills. Curved or rounded lapels suit rounded collar shirts and scooped necklines.
