I’ve been on vacation with my family in Nantucket for the last week. You see a lot of people dressed in really obnoxious clothing out here, which is fine, it’s just their style. But among all the seersucker pants and boat shoes there’s one thing that I really take offense to. Popped collars.

The thing about popping a collar, first and foremost, is that it’s out of style. Even when it was popular among assholes and posers, it was not cool. Now, however, it’s not cool and also dated.

I think the thing that gets me most about it though is that it’s a conscious effort to look like a dick. It’s taking an otherwise perfectly normal shirt and sabotaging it. It’s not as if you bought a pair of pants that have since gone out of style, only you still wear them when you haven’t done laundry. That fashion crime would be like manslaughter. Popping your collar is murder one.
