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.
