That's hilarious!</p> <p>Related question for Angie and anyone else: any tricks on how to wear popped collars with long hair? I have a short neck and long hair and the combination means my jacket collar will not stay popped no matter what I do, plus it makes my hair hang funny. Is the only solution to pin up my hair? I don't wear stiff shirts so I'm just talking about the collar on things like my denim jacket or maybe a blazer - not things I can starch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-649099 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 03:31:31 +0000 Angie 649099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hilarious. </p> <p>No one has tried to un-pop my collar yet. I'd probably scare them to death with my facial expression if they tried.</p> <p>None of my collars are starched. I think my very long neck helps keep my collars popped by acting as a supporting foundation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-649051 Tue, 19 Jun 2012 02:11:42 +0000 Kyle 649051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to try starching it up into the popped position and see what happens. It would be harder to push back down that way... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648589 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:31:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've totally hit on something important Suz - it has to look intentional. When combining the popped collar with scrunched sleeves I think it looks more intentional - like you are changing the item to suit your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648586 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:29:53 +0000 Suz 648586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has not happened to me, either, and I almost always pop my collars. I wonder if it has happened to Angie? </p> <p>I don't know if there is a trick to making it look intentional. I know that i almost always roll my sleeves or scrunch them if I am popping a collar. And I tend to do it when I'm mixing high and low...denim with the crisp shirt...that type of thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648580 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:25:56 +0000 Anonymous 648580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny! I guess it would get annoying though. I haven't had this happen yet, and I pop my collars often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648380 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 05:19:28 +0000 Scarlet 648380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is funny! The only one I can imagine doing this to me would be my mother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648338 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 03:20:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 648338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh - I've had this too! I had a co-worker actually take my collar and start to put it back down and when I said very politely "I'm actually wearing it like that on purpose" , seemed quite confused as to why I would want to do that (lol)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648334 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 03:17:08 +0000 Tanya 648334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Starch spray does indeed work for me too. And people have tried to fix my collar as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648317 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 02:33:48 +0000 Deborah 648317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle sorry no advice but people have done the same to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648283 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 01:09:19 +0000 Sarah A 648283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like starch too, for my cotton "winter" shirts. I have been wearing a lot of the nylon blend sun protection shirts this summer and struggle what to do with the collars on them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648278 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 01:04:39 +0000 sarah 648278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Kyle! I did start using spray starch with my button down shirts to get the collars a bit crisper. I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not, although I *think* it does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/popped-collar#post-648271 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 01:01:04 +0000 Kyle 648271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love a popped collar. Every time I wear it, without fail, someone either "fixes" it for me or points out that it needs to be "fixed." Does this happen to you? Is there a secret to achieving an intentionally popped look that people will not want to correct? Do you need to use a special ironing technique or starch to keep things from drooping? Very curious to hear your experiences. </p>
