I just can't get them to behave. They get all wonky and make my neck look short and then my hair gets caught. Just a mess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-848461 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 01:09:24 +0000 deb 848461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always wear them in. It is what the men do so I just follow suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-848400 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 00:37:52 +0000 christy 848400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, good to know I haven't committed a major faux pas by wearing them out! Since I read that, I've started wearing my shirt collars inside my jackets a lot more frequently and I like the look. In practice though, it's a lot tougher to do with my blouses that are soft and silky so I might keep wearing those on the outside and leaving the crisper, more structured shirts on the inside. </p> <p>Thanks Angie and everyone else for chiming in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-848036 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:37:47 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 848036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why I end up not wearing collared shirts with jackets that much - if you wear them in they get all wonky a lot, and I don't usually like the look of them out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-847906 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 16:49:29 +0000 Angie 847906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as I know it's a style choice. And for me - it's a case by case thing with each outfit. I pop my collars so they are always out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-847800 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 15:46:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 847800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooohhhh...good question Christy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-847743 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:59:06 +0000 Suz 847743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have wondered this, too. My personal solution is to do whatever seems to create the best looking and most comfortable fit with the jacket. So sometimes I will do the collar up all the way, sometimes I will wear it open inside (if it works) and sometimes I will wear it outside and feel like a 70s throwback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-847734 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:53:50 +0000 Janet 847734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many times the only way I can get a shirt collar to behave is to wear it outside the jacket collar. I've feared it's not the most modern look, but otherwise, the shirt collar often slips down inside the jacket, which drives me nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-847725 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:49:03 +0000 sarah 847725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Christy, I've been wondering this, too. I think that wearing your shirt collars outside gives the outfit a bit of a retro vibe (70s? 80s?) - sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, and I'm eagerly awaiting the answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-suit-jacketsblazers-and-shirt-collars#post-847703 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:35:28 +0000 christy 847703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was in the archives of Coporette and saw a comment about always wearing shirt collars inside your jacket and not outside or over the jacket collar. Is this a more formal business wear "rule" or is it just a style choice? Do you have an opinion as to which is better or does it depend on the outfit itself and/or the formality of the occasion? I've been wearing shirt collars on the outside for ages and I'm just curious if I've been breaking the "rules"? </p>
