Sure, if you can ruin a suit, you can easily ruin a shirt.

My socks get drape when the elastic goes.

I hope that is helpful.

A drape coat extends a small bit over the shoulder line.

It can do this because the shoulder is padded.

A man's shirt shoulder is not.

If you extend the shoulder seam over the shoulder line, you will get the dropped shoulder look fashionable in the 80s.

It's drape when you keep the socks; it's droop when you discard them.
