Drew, the collar is always already flipped.

What if it's worn with a white belt?

Ironic engagements should be cut short before they lead to marriage.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I wear it with a bandolier.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

i like to cross things up by flipping and then adding a bolo. that really fucks with people, they're always like "wait, is that guy a fratboy rapist or an oil baron -- which is it?!" and that's my cue to make fun of erasure while i shoot at the ground.

that is quite an image

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm seeing this all the time now, and it fills me with huge contempt (more so than usual, that is). Simply put, if you do this -- YOU, SIR, ARE A FLAGRANT JACKASS!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:17 (eighteen years ago) link

thank god alex is here to save us from making flagrant character judgements based on miniscule fashion details!

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:18 (eighteen years ago) link

At your service.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:19 (eighteen years ago) link

the devil's in the details

But the demons are BEHIND THE UPTURNED COLLAR!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:26 (eighteen years ago) link

everyone who's bought a dave matthews cd today has sported this look

...has been the most compelling case made by any member of the anti-flipsquad brigade so far.

Fucking hell Under the Table... is HOTTT!

However, I can't really wear a t-shirt by itself, it feels strange to me to be collar-less.

holy shit, me too!

also, pink rules.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:34 (eighteen years ago) link

It takes real panache to pull off the big-red-circle-with-a-slash-through-it look.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:35 (eighteen years ago) link

hey i do this and im not gay nor in a frat.

― charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:36 (eighteen years ago) link

British fashion is backwards though.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:38 (eighteen years ago) link

E.g., dudes wear skirts, young people wear sock-garters, etc.

But you DO use the word "nor" correctly! STONE HIM!

― The Ghost of Haha Sigh (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

my least favorite fashion look is the ugly, long-sleeved patterned shirt w/faded jeans look. usually worn by beefy bros who are out nightclubbing in hollywood

I don't like polo shirts, they are kinda high school.

OTM

― charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 18:05 (eighteen years ago) link

in britain this means two things to me: "chavs" ie kids hanging out with trackie bottoms and ellesse polos, or coversely, upper midle class hooray kids who go sailing etc. and play rugby. leeds uni is stuffed full of them. (and they all say "uni" ulp)

― ambrose (ambrose), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 18:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Tough to pull this off with real Lacoste shirts because they inexplicably cost $80.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 19:16 (eighteen years ago) link

there was a guy charging $100 cdn for them at the big street sale here last summer, and he only had two on display – if you wanted a different size or colour he had a runner who would go and fetch them from an undisclosed location. sketchy!! and they were selling like hotcakes anyway.

― jones (actual), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 19:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Lacoste of living.

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 19:38 (eighteen years ago) link

real lacostes are $90 apiece in canada. i don't think i've even seen a more bootlegged brand of clothing.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 19:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Flipping the collar up just seems strange. (I wear shirts with collars about, oh, ten times a year maybe.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 19:55 (eighteen years ago) link

i almost bought lacoste shoes the other day.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 19:57 (eighteen years ago) link

im surprised it's taken ilx this long to complain about this. it's been annoying me for at least a year now.

― Fetchboy (Felcher), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:13 (eighteen years ago) link

penguin shirts = teh best

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i want some lecoq shoes so bad

― charleston charge (chaki), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I have a Penguin shirt that Sarah got me a year or so ago for my birthday or something, and I wore to see my friends' band the other night, and I was talking to her and her coworker, and I was saying that I wouldn't normally buy a Penguin shirt for myself because I have trouble spending money on clothes and the coworker blurts out "...AND BECAUSE THEY COST $70!" I was like "I don't think it cost $70" but he said "THEY COST $70." Penguin shirts don't cost $70, do they? It's just like a short-sleeved polo shirt. What an ass.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:20 (eighteen years ago) link

eyes on the cost

― ralph lifschsitz, Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:21 (eighteen years ago) link

ditto on the penguin shirts, i have way too many.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:26 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't even know this place anymore

― strng hlkngtn, Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:32 (eighteen years ago) link

hahahaha old navy.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

some of us do not attempt to dress beyond our station

― strng hlkngtn, Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:38 (eighteen years ago) link

In order to dress beyond my station, I'd have to wear ermine-lined cloaks and carry around a royal sceptre (and I do not mean my cock for a change).

― The Ghost of Big Pulsating Ego (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:39 (eighteen years ago) link

my dad has penguin shirts, so no way do they cost 70

Ermine-lined cocksocks.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:48 (eighteen years ago) link

i wear shirts from the thrift store. old navy's too pricey for my blood.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:49 (eighteen years ago) link

(Actually an ermine-lined cocksock sounds nice.)

― The Ghost of Warm AND Luxurious! (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:50 (eighteen years ago) link

no thriftstore has capri pants of this quality

― strng hlkgntn, Tuesday, 10 May 2005 20:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i think this can look pretty good.

You can see me every week hanging out with a different girl sitting next to me cause I'm not about to settle down right now I gotta be free some of y'all fellas might be jealous but y'all know that don't faze me I just pop my collar tip my hat and turn my backs on the ones who hated me.

― N_RQ, Wednesday, 11 May 2005 14:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll get on h&m, ta ambrose.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 16:24 (eighteen years ago) link

also, tip: united colors of benetton normally do a good range in cotton v. neck jumpers as standard. tho warning they do shrink quite a lot on first wash so probably buy a size above.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 16:25 (eighteen years ago) link

so i grabbed hold of his foot and tripped him up. he was wearing a pink ralph lauren rugby sweater with the collar flipped.

so you actually bent down and grabbed his foot? sounds quite impressive.

― $V£N! (blueski), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 16:28 (eighteen years ago) link

he said escalator, ruth.

ive just decided that my personal people-who-wear-the-collars-of-their-polo-shirts-flipped-up equivalent are people-who-use-the-word-'diaspora'-in-everyday-conversation

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 16:31 (eighteen years ago) link

he said escalator, ruth.

cor, what if the guy had fallen backwards causing everyone else behind him on the escalator to fall backwards...

PREPPIE DOMINOES

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 11 May 2005 16:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Popped-collar-stalker note: I just got back from the San Francisco Art Institute where an awfully handsome young (18) man sauntered into Pete's Café with, yep, collar turned up. Cute as a button, rockin' the collar.
