It just looks like your collar is askew to me, especially the half done ones like the BR example. But then I've literally never seen anyone in real life with a popped collar. I suspect that if I tried it people would tell me that my collar was messed up, just like they did the few times I tried a semi-tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1431425 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 20:42:05 +0000 Anonymous 1431425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of popped collars. For some reason, it just looks better, more chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1431413 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 19:57:33 +0000 retailgirl 1431413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have short hair and a long neck and I quite often pop my collar. I always pop a polo shirt. If I wear a shirt under a crew neck sweater, I pop the collar. One if my fave looks is a crisp shirt, not buttoned all the way up, a silk scarf tied like a tie, and a blazer over that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1431402 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 19:48:12 +0000 deb 1431402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The popped collar does not work with my longer hair so, no popper here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1431395 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 19:42:15 +0000 Ingunn 1431395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a popped collar, too, but I don't do it myself that often. Maybe I should start again? It's definitely a good look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1431392 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 19:37:19 +0000 MsMary 1431392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a popped collar, but alas my neck is so short it's a no-go for me! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1431388 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 19:30:38 +0000 K.M. 1431388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of a popped collar, though I don't always do it. I think it has to be part of a conscious look overall to look good. <br />The reason why I found this website in the first place was when I searched for whether one should pop the collar when wearing a shirt with a jacket (but that's a bit different from your question, as you are talking about a shirt worn on its own, right?)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1430890 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 20:26:46 +0000 merwoman 1430890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question! I have popped my collar on occasion, but I'm noticing a trend for the semi-popped collar! I think that BR is intentionally popping one side of the collar (model's right side) in many of their photos. I'm not on board at this moment, but if we can semi-tuck, why not semi-pop </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1430734 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:24:58 +0000 Marilyn 1430734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a popper but I noticed in one of Angie's photos that her collar was popped under a jacket and it looked really nice.&nbsp; Must give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1430731 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 16:21:30 +0000 Laura 1430731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. But not so high like in the 80's. I tend to pop up a little of the rear collar area when I wear a buttondown with a coat, cardi, blazer or jumper.<br /> I also love the look of the front collar a little tussled. One sort of up and the other sort of down. This I find spices up an otherwise bland shirt.<br /> Also a few of my white shirts have small collars that look sexy I think, especially when raised.<br /> Love the look though. Yay.<br /> What do you ladies think about a nice little knot at the shirt's front? Perhaps that's worth a separate forum entry to hear from others too.<br /> Laura </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1076144 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 02:40:56 +0000 karymk 1076144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on the collar how I pop it. &nbsp;If it's a narrower collar I just pop the whole thing up. &nbsp;But then you have to be careful if you have a light shirt so you don't get makeup on it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1073250 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 19:38:43 +0000 Heini Makinen 1073250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! So great to see so many responses, do you pop it up all the way or just at the back? I like to put mine up at the back if it's a polo but all the way up if it's anything else!! How do you guys like to wear it? I've also noticed what's cute is my daughter has copied my style popping her collar, and my son had his up the other day too!! Lol sooo cute!

I have a short neck, so I think it helps a lot to make a longer line from the top of the popped collar to the first button. Trend or not, makes me feel taller and thinner, so I'm popping that collar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1072092 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 13:46:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1072092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greetings, Heini.&nbsp; I love the popped collar look on others, and wore it myself in the 80's (those popped polo collars), but I don't do it often now --- my hair and the collars get all tangled up together, so they end up annoying me and looking wonky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pop-that-collar-1#post-1072007 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 08:58:51 +0000 Heini Makinen 1072007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone else here almost always wear their collar up whenever they wear a blouse or a polo shirt or whatever? I do! My personal favourite is to pop It up on a nice white shirt, what's everyone else's favourite preferences? How often do you pop it? What's your favourite thing to wear popped, polo, blouse? Do you think the trend is coming back? Thanks ladies!! X </p>
