What about guys that wear two shirts and pop the collar on the inside one and leave the collar down on the outside one.

I have no idea where the gum thing comes from.....I've never seen that

I know a lot of people who "pop the collar" if you will. So what, they do it, why do the rest of you get so worked up about it? There are a lot worse fashion trends out there.

Because I've also noticed that most of the people who do this, try and act like they're a badass or hot sh!t.

Like what? For modern "pop-culture" it's certainly one of the most ridiculous "fashions" I've seen.

The popped-collar is like the mullet...only a select few think it's actually cool...the rest stare and laugh at the idiocy.

Except for the girls they tend to end up going home with. *shrug*

So you believe the popped up collar helps to land chicks? Did we move back into the Don Johnson era overnight?

Nope. Not at all. But the guys that are "so gay" and "such losers" for doing it are usually guys that get girls. You can make fun of their fashion all you want, but its pretty stupid to try to make other assumptions, that are usually false.

It is only fashion. In a month or two they will be doing something different.

No one called them "gay" or "losers" (at least I didn't). Everyone falls for bad-fashion every once in a while. I'm sure you all remember "No Fear" T-shirts! HAHA.

But...about your "girls go home with guys with popped collars" comment...RIGHT...the popped collar has nothing to do with it...I could walk into a bar wearing my PJs and bring a smokin-ass hot girl home...wait...I have...

I've yet to meet any girls that haven't made fun of the return of the pop-collar fad, as well as the whole "real men wear pink shirts" thing.

Do you wear your shirts like that? I think you must because you always come to their defense when somebody mentions how lame it looks.

I remember someone defending the pop collar look a long time ago. Maybe actually starting a thread about it.

I've noticed a lot of guys on the football team wear this still, including the gum and girl thing. Also the pink shirt thing. Going to the prom in a pink and white tux=weird. lol

teach me...;)

anyway, the popped collar is ridiculous no matter how you look at it. and Deeko is defending them cause he's a collar popping tool.

Altho I must say that I have heard of people popping thier collar for practical purposes...for example if its extremely sunny and you want to protect your neck from the sun...and if its extremely windy and you can keep the draft out.

If you're wearing a polo shirt to a beach then I can understand. But that's the only exception that I can think of.

I've never seen anyone above high school age "pop" their collar. I also see people of that age wearing all sorts of other ridiculous styles. Huge baggy pants, absurdly long and large white t-shirts, long, unkempt hair, retro-style baseball hats that are 4 sizes too big with a perfectly flat brim cocked off to the side at an aribtrary angle... nothing about the way teenagers - males at least - dress makes much sense. But then again I think about the way I dressed when I was that young and I shudder. People probably thought the way I looked back then was... well, not the greatest.

They'll grow out of it in a few years. They'll learn to conform or they'll never get good jobs.

yeah, but i think my friend was stranded waiting for a bus in the sun...when he proceeded to pop his collar despite what his conventional wisdom told him. He told me he was extremely satisfied with popping his collar and said he would definetly do it agian should the situation arise. However, he called the the next frat brother douchebag we saw a tool cause he had his collar popped inside the restaurant we were in.

Actually, theres only a select few who are cool enough to do it, anyone else who does is laughed and stared at as a poser of the real cool people.

Thats the way it went at my HS anywa,y and i was ony both ends of that stick too (with more than just hte pop the color issue)

I'm not going to get into this, but for people who claim not to care about fashion, you sure do argue about it alot.

playa, white t's and fitted's are just gangsta...



sorry bro but baggy pants, jerseys, long tees and the lot are a cultural statement, there is a reason behind some of that stuff, while popped collars are a fad.

look up why black people in the ghetto wear white t's if you really care to find out and not just make general statements. i dont agree with it, but there is a reason for it.
