Reversing my Decision on Popped Collars
 

In the original "Popped Collars" thread, I professed to be thrilled that this 80's trend was returning and added that I hoped it signified the return of MORE 80's fashions.

That is until Mr. KR and I went to the Patriot League lacrosse tournament yesterday.

We were sitting there watching Hobart beat Lehigh when the Navy Lacrosse team came in en masse and sat down a few rows in front of us. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM was wearing a brightly colored Polo with POPPED COLLAR, khaki shorts with those braided belts and black Ray Ban Wayfarers. On top of all that, they were all sporting scary Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell hair:

Not sure how they got that kind of volume on regulation military haircuts, but that's not the point here.


It's just too much....I have decided that I'm not quite ready to relive the eighties just yet.

So, it is with much sadness that I hereby withdraw my support of the popped collar :(

You've insulted me more than you will ever know. I am sorry but we just can't be friends anymore.

What exactly is a popped collar?

The epitome of fashion.

Take the collar- turn it upwards.

Done.

Mullet AND popped collar! Wow!

Except it wasn't called a mullet back then for women. It was called a "bi-level".

Popped collars only work if you have a long neck!

now that is some good mullet action ;) excellent find!!!

Oh God. That's child abuse!

Only people with high income levels and potentials are allowed to pop the collar.

--Wanted to reiterate!

I saw a woman with hair like that today. I almost choked on my popsicle.

And bright coloured polos, khaki shorts and Zack Morris hair...no wonder they say that the Navy is gay ;)

Popped collars? Mall hair?? :eek:

I cringe when I see pictures of me and my friends when we were little.. Please don't make me go back to the 80's!!!

I saw a perfect looking couple with two perfect looking babies in strollers walking on the Upper East Side. The man had a pink Lacoste with the collar turned up. Cha-Ching! He was money, and he knew it. :)
