It is the perfect look...

If you're a Douchebag.

To the op: That small voice in the back of your head that asked you if you thought popping the collar was really a good idea is something you should listen carefully for and try to nurture.

Please OP, think about your dignity. It's been terrified ever since you first thought that flipping the polo collar was a good idea.

Most people don't know this, however popping a collar on a polo shirt elongates the neck and it works perfectly when wearing a rugby shirt with the dress or sport shirt/tie combo.

Wait, what? I'm trying to decipher your advice here...if you have a short neck, you should wear a polo shirt with a popped collar under a rugby shirt or a sport shirt and tie? I have a long neck, what do you suggest that I wear to look less giraffe-like?

Just yesterday I saw a guy wearing a polo with popped collar and aviators in a 1997 blacked out mustang blaring Dave Matthews Band almost run two people over because he was trying to make his tires squeal.

If done knowingly and blithely, it can work. It's not terribly noticeable when done well.

seriously dont see why theres so much contempt for popped collars, most of the polo models do it...

if ralph thinks it looks good, it looks good

My brother does this. I tell him every time it makes him look like a pompous douchebag. He doesn't seem to care.

If RL models do it, it must be good.

is this really any more douchey then wearing a pocket square/tie bar/perfectly polished shoes/sportcoat with lots of handwork/office pants/rolex?? looks like the guy put on a polo shirt and pants, and as he was walking outside decided he looked too plain and popped the collar... at least he didnt get a scarf or whatever accessorie MC guys love

I think I know the difference now. If you have a really long neck or very short collar it works, because if the collar goes up to or past your chin, you look like you are trying to be the Shadow.

I think this forum has alot of pent up rage.

I know ppl who pop the collar, i really dont hold it against them.

^ i agree. wearing scarfs just for the hell of it and not for the actual function is even more douchebaggy than wearing popped collars. loose big crinkly scarfs worn without a coat make me want to vomit.

I agree completely. Don't ever do this...unless its Halloween and you're going as a D-bag, tool or fraternity brother.
