Maybe. It depends. And personal opinion varies to a fair degree on this one, too - particularly (but not solely) based on where one is located. What flies in Ankara or Surabaya, isn't necessarily what gets much love in Brussels or Boston.
But honestly, if I'm not going to be wearing a tie or a jacket, I'll typically just wear a button-down collar shirt. I mean, it's the obvious choice. Maybe a Winchester or club collar could be made to work, but I'm lazy and simply don't feel like trying to successfully pull this off this particular trick, given that there's little pay-off for doing so, and button-down collars aren't exactly difficult to find in my closet.
Still, if for some reason you want to wear a Winchester or club collar shirt without jacket or tie, go get dressed in the shirt, take a picture of yourself, post the picture, and ask us how it looks. Heck, lots of times when you can really look at a picture of yourself dressed a certain way, it'll give you a much better idea of how it works (or doesn't work), than will a glance in the mirror will. So my advice to take a picture of yourself in the shirt could prove worthwhile, even if you don't post it anywhere.
Can you wear a winchester or club collar shirt without a tie and jacket?
