People that "pop" their collars on their polo shirts - Page 2

Ah the popped collar - yet another fashion trend that did not need to make a comeback...there was this dude working here who used to do that - he's since moved on - and I no longer have to look at his stupid collared shirts.

---And yes, there was a horrid trend of wearing pants backwards - I never liked that one- wasn't it started by that horrid little rap duo Cris/Cros or something??

Then there was the whole one side of the overalls un done

Um - four different colored pairs of socks...with high tops and weird taper-folded jeans

I was JUST going to post about the horror that was folded jeans, Deanna.

What were we thinking? Did you pin them, or just tuck & fold?

I realized awhile back that what was intense dislike for Napoleon Dynamite became complete, all-encompassing hatred because of the audience at the theater when I saw it. I go to a movie theater that is in a more upscale suburb, and the entire theater was filled with smarmy little teenage ****s with their collars popped. *stab*

I just think it looks so smarmy and ridiculous. It's like they're aspiring to be James Spader in Pretty in Pink or something. It's laaaaaame.

Hee. Kriss Kross and backwards pants. I missed the bus (uhhh), I missed the bus, and that is somethin' I will nevah evah do again. My brother's favorite album at the time.

I think there's another evah in there. I used to work for Sears in the juniors' department and we got music videos every month to play there and that song was on one. Damn it would stick in my head! I didn't think anyone else knew that song!

My brother always wore his collars up, in junior high. That was a long time ago. He was a punk and he liked it that way. I think his 7th grade pic is him in a pink shirt with the collar up, a mullet, and a smirk. Exactly as it should have been in 1986!

My calves are so thin I always had to pin my pants or they wouldn't stay pegged. I forgot about the multiple socks.

You had to have high tops too. WTF were we thinking? Blech.

Oh yeah, and we'd wear them with those long ass shirts with... shoulder pads! Oh the horror.

Well I was a little behind - I didn't even do the folds until the trend was nearly on the way out -and no, I never pinned them - I was a purist - just the fold lol...

If I were wearing pants right now I'd totally try and do it lol-just for nostalgia sake - I wouldn't keep them that way - but I'm wearing a skirt....

I used to love to peg my jeans. I was so good at it I didn't need to pin them. They would just stay that way all day.

As for the original topic, I don't really like to turn up my collar but I do every once in awhile if I'm outside for a long time and I'm trying to keep the sun off my neck.

Another one I remember from the late '80s is women pushing their white socks down to their ankles. Not pulled up or rolled down like in the 70s, but pushed down to look semi-slovenly. I always thought it looked dumb.

My little brother (he's 16) pops his collar on his polo shirts (preferable the pink ones...of course!) and it drives me insane! I always tell him to fix his shirt, like it's like that on accident. That pisses him off. It just looks so stupid.

Nah. More power to 'em. Polo shirts are ass, anyway.

I still have guys that buy white, tapered, Levi 501s at the clothing store I work at. One man said he likes his old ones better and his girlfriend suggested he cut them off and make them shorts.

What is the world coming to.

*wipes vomit from upper lip*

His girlfriend probably wears acid-washed Jordache jeans to complement him.
