A friend of mine and I were tweeting (you can follow this site @whatannoys_me) the other day about the huge annoyances we run into throughout the day, and this one brought some great laughs. The popped collar is one of those fashion trends that needs to die a slow and painful death. Seriously…who the hell even though of something so ridiculous as making your shirt collar point up? What evil genius thought…you know how I can make people walk around looking like complete idiots and at the same time they think they look like the coolest kid on the block? I know…I’ll make them put their collar to their shirt straight up in the air! Genius!!
So…how can you too walk around and look this ridiculous? It is pretty easy actually. All you really have to do is take the collar that you are used to wearing folded over and point it up! Never has it been so easy to look like a complete idiot! Now…you do have a chance for some serious bonus points, so pay attention very closely.
Bonus Cool Points in Popping the Collar Fashion
Anything in pastel colors.- Polo Brand
- Multiple shirts, all popped in matching pastels from Polo (double bonus points on this one and triple points if you go above 3 shirts)
If you combine any of these with the following, you get extra cool points as well:
- Aviator sunglasses
- Spiked hair with frosted tips
- Plaid shorts
- A hat that should be thrown away at this point and may actually have something growing in it other than your ego
When you look as cool as these guys do, life is great! You can have a whole new outlook on life as you conquer the ladies and wear that stupid ass grin on your face everywhere you go. Everywhere you go, you have a new confidence because you know that you are the coolest guy there. Everyone wants to be like you. They gaze from afar wondering if they are even worthy of talking to such a supreme being. How can one person have this much fashion sense? How can they even hang out with us mere mortals. We should all wish that we were as fortunate as you…the popped collar wearer…because most of us can’t make a fashion statement like that look so good. Hopefully…one day…I will be cool enough to make my collar defy gravity. One can only hope…until then…I’ll be boring and wear my normal sunglasses, my normal colors and my normal gravity challenged collar.
That gaze from afar is me and I’m looking at you like you’re an idiot. Because of your collared shirt obsession you now look like a linebacker who got hit one too many times in the head and for got to take his football gear off.
Dude, looking at your picture and thinking that you really need rethink whether you are qualified to comment on fashion tips. Also thinking that if you got some advice from someone who had some fashion sense, you might get laid occasionally and lower your stress level and not be annoyed at so many things.
@Amused
Fantastic comment! One…my picture isn’t even on this site…and two…I am married so it’s all good man!
Another spot-on post. People are seriously wearing *multiple* popped collars these days? Wow… That’s some serious d-baggery. I clearly don’t spend enough time at bars, clubs or college campuses.
I have to sit back and be honest with this one. I don’t pop my colla! But I do wear a pair of “d-bag shorts,” in fact I even labeled them my “d-bags!” I purchased them at American Eagle about a year or so ago, after their debut into the fashion hall of fame. They are comfortable, how can they not be… they are five or six sizes too large, have a matching annoying white belt and I can ride the “sagggg” wave and d-bag golf shorts all at the same time.
I guess I should see how many of my polo shirts I can stack on top of one another and pop the colla’s up. This one time.. at the mall.. haha (funny joke there), anyways I went into Dillards at the mall of this small town I was once visiting and found the “colla popp’n” was a hit there. So I browsed the entire store, putting all the collars back down into their proper positions and pinned them into place.
I really needed to make a statement, and what the f#ck is up with all these stupid hoodies and tshirts with more writing and graphics than the number seven train in NYC?! I mean seriously… how much grafitti can you put on a piece of cotton?!
@Justin Shattuck
Are you serious?! D-bag shorts! Hilarious…
Amused but not Alert doesn’t realize your upper right pic reflects the subject of the post.
This is worse than men in pink underwear. Oh no I hear that ‘s sexy.
@Dee
Very true…besides…if I was going to pull off the look, I would want to go for gold like the pink and light blue tee. I hear that is all the rage these days!
Pink underwear!!! That’s the first I have heard of that one…craziness…
