is this ok for a SA IBD interview? http://www.ctshirts.com/men's-shirts/Sky-twill-puppytooth-non--iron-extra-slim-fit?q=usgob||RG034SKY|||||407,1862,||||||||
Also, are the "sky" color from CT too dark?

Wearing a shirt with a collar
Wearing a shirt with a collar cut that wide to an SA interview is just as bad as wearing a shirt with a contrast collar. Be normal and wear a plain white shirt.

There's nothing wrong with wearing a spread collar if it's a conservative color, you aren't 300 pounds.

Nothing wrong with a spread collar. In fact, point collars look horrible on certain people, namely tall skinny people with slender faces because all the point collar does is elongate the person's neck and face.
To the OP, stick to white and light blue. That shirt looks like a good tint of blue. Not sure I like the puppytooth pattern going on, though. If you can find a solid patterned shirt, I think that would be better, but I don't think your interviewers will really count it against you if you go with this shirt.

A moderate spread is fine, but OP's is way too wide / way too arrogant for an analyst.

It just plain looks weird. CT has plenty of normal looking collars on their shirts. Just get the same shirt with a more normal looking collar.

I think it's just how the shirt is laying in the photo that is causing that ridiculous angle. I am wearing a CT shirt with a spread collar right now and the picture of it on the website looks exactly like the one in the OP. It's really not such a wide spread, at least on me. When I think of a ridiculously wide spread, I think of something like this Hugo Boss shirt.

CT shirts don't come anywhere close to that, even if the picture of the CT shirt looks somewhat similar.
