you might think i'm talking about the jagerbomb jersey shore guidos but the examples i see are actually asians.
everyday, walking the city i see a handful of them walking around as if this shit was acceptable.

 

[Pantlegz]

They wanna be cool too. Don't hate.

i'm not talking about high schoolers. they look like they're in their late 20's early 30's.
can you guys tell your people they look like douchebags?

I was in Vegas last week at saw a 50ish Asian dude with his collar like this. I couldnt help but laugh.

 

[QueBert]

saw an oooold Asian dude at the casino with this, but he was outdone when 10 minutes later I saw a white dude who had to be about 75 with a "snitches get stitches" shirt on.

 

[Rudee]

About as funny looking as young kiddies who wear their hoodies up indoors thinking they look cool.

 

[surfsatwerk]

I wear my sunglasses at night...

I've popped mine on the golf course, just to help keep sun off the back of my neck.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Asian and Mung, I see it too.

 

[amish]

meh, popped collars have been going on for a while. it seems to be part of the yuppie dress code.

sort of like how Tapout gear was really really popular with the "I'm tough, just look at my Tapout shirt" crowd. yes, grasping those chicken wings are hands of death and underneath your flab is a man of steel.

so far the absolute worst thing that I've seen is a late 20s/early 30s guy at the airport in Chicago. He looked like a walking Banana Republic add. He had grey wool slacks, nice shoes, a fitted shirt...and then a fucking rat tail. seriously, a fucking rat tail. some shit should never come back.

Keep it real, bro!

Collars are generally illogical to begin with. They work on dress shirts to hide your tie, but who wears a tie with a polo shirt? No one. So why the hell is the collar there? Oh, we had a bit of extra fabric, so we just kept going, and now you can fold it down right there... That's ridiculous. Wearing a popper collar actually makes more sense than keeping the collar down, as you might get some utility out of the extra fabric.

But yeah, popped collars do look ridiculous.

 

[Nintendesert]

I bet that douchebag had a fedora on too!

 

[Cal166]

It's the FOB Asians. I hate them so much.

 

[Vdubchaos]

There is no race boundaries when it comes to douchebags.

 

[GrumpyMan]

Yeah I think hoodies are worse.

hoodies are worse than popped collars? lol.

I have some insight to this as I am an Asian. The reason for it is not to look "cool" as in American perception, but it is Asian's dislike for being tanned by the sun. It is more of a functional thing rather than a fashion statement. I saw this in Korea when I went there and my wife who lived most of her life there has told me the same. I do this sometimes too when I am out playing golf and it can be quite hot.

So don't be so judging as your perception is based on stupid VH1 bullshit you grew up with. Nothing has to do with fashion and being cool, all about function and minimizing sun burn/tan.

Are you in NYC? You see this shit too right?

 

[summit]

when you are outside, let's say enjoying a round of golf and the sun is beating on your neck, you put up the collar.

Something tells me that Alkemyst is reading this thread right now with his collar popped.
