I pop, but I'm into the whole "half popped" look. Basically pull on the shirt and however the collar falls, leave it be.
UKTriDelt...you miss the point. Popping the collar is only effective if the shirt is expensive.
Interestingly enough the whole point of popping the collar at a very subconscious level is the idea of conspicuous consumption. Wearing an expensive polo disheveled, or destroyed jeans is a sign of wealth. Essentially, you have enough money to buy jeans that a poorer person would have thrown out long ago b/c they were full of holes or faded or whatever, or you have enough money to spend a lot of money on a designer polo but wear it in a manner that isn't proper...b/c face it, if it ruins the shirt you can always go buy another one.
Also popping the collar draws attention to you since it's out of the ordinary, so people can see you spent a lot of money on your shirt if it has a crocodile or tiger or penguin or polo pony on it.
If you're popping a collar on a cheap non-logo-ized shirt, what youre saying is that you can't afford the high quality goods, but want to pretend that you are well off.
