As per the original shirt in question, I would not regard it as a dress shirt.

I disagree with the above blanket statements.
You can make almost (almost!) any of those combinations work with the proper style shirt, tie, coat and pants.
Personally a tie with a button-down collar is a no-no. Some guys can do it, but I'd rather be run over by Tim Gunn's limo than do that.
Edit: and to the OP - that shirt is just no.
