Why do men/boys pop there collars?
 

I sit here wondering this...

Now i am not talking about the *** community, because you have been doing it for the longest time and your fashion knows no limits.

But why does the average teen, and sometimes dult do it, and what are they possibly thinking?

Also

I didn't know that many people did it outside of the 80's...

Well if I ever wore a collar shirt I left one unpopped because it was kind of tight on the neck. But people who unpop 'em all are just plain SEXY! You didn't notice that? I mean they make it so obvious.

I don't do collars if I can help it. Jeans and T-shirt guy I'm afraid.

Because they are douchebags.

most accurate answer so far!

I know the majority of people inside the hip African oriented persuasion pop their collars because when they dance it helps dirt fleet their shoulders.

That made me chuckle.

OT: I have no idea...I'm sure some people can pull it off but most just look like douchebags...:\

Because, like Elvis, their mums told them they have scrawny necks as a kid.

i see lots of girls pop there collars.
Maybe we just wanna look cool >: [

Matious you don't have to try to look cool, you just do.

For sure. I was speaking on behalf of the other bro's who aren't at my level.

I dont know why people do it, but for me once i get a couple beers or drinks in me at a party, i cannot resists the urge to pop it. I dont go as far as some of my friends who starch all their collars, to maintain that stiff pop.

O no.:yikes:

And i hope your kidding about your friends. Please tell me you are.

not at all, a lot of my friends actually starch to get that desired pop. and if you want you can buy polo's at abercrombie with stiff collars so there is no starching needed. Its a bro style man.

So your telling me they actually sell shirts with hardened collars there for that purpose?

ya they sell these shirts, hollister might have them too. but their collars are longer and stiff, even after washing and what not. the collars are ment to be poped, they are to long and stiff to wear as normal collars.

And what might one use to stiffin his own collar. I did not even know this was possible. (starch?)

ya, spray starch and a good iron. I can loan you mine if you need.

Nah, thanks though. I would probably wear a dress than pop my collar.

Although outside of work i dont wear them. I think the tshirt is good enough!

Beacuse they are preppy *******s, that's why.
Why do Hollister and Abercromble alway smell funny? Has anyone else nticed that?

I think the preppy look should stay in the 80's where it belongs.

Probably because of all the overpriced cologne they spray in there
Preppy is going to as long as their are stores like Abcrombie & Fitch , upper-middle class white kids,and country clubs, they're will always be preps.

I hate when people have to Catorgize everyone...it's been said 1,000,000 times that preps are mindless and *******s. Besides, persons that say things of that sort are usually mindless *******s.

not all preps are bad by the way

you know,...i dont pop my collar on polos or anything,......but sometimes if i'm wearing a button down, i do,......and i've never really thought about why, i think its because my mother does

I do have friends that can be consider prep, but you could hardly call them mindless and or *******s.

well i used to be one back in the day and i never popped my collar i havent done that since i was 8 nor have i ever seen a girl do that

I haven't seen anyone pop their collar recently, and not joking.

i havent ever, except in the movies with drunken frat boys

I'm sure that is true but being a lower class hispanic adult, I'm still sticking to my opinion. :D
