lol.. well if anything, the trend has died down.. it came back thanks to Kanye West.. black rapper.. and all the frat boys stole it and made it more popular -- white boys. lol.
according to all my mens magazines i get, the popped collar look is over. another thing that's over that the stupid frat boys did, was LAYER the polo. goodness what the heck! polos aren't made to be layered on top of each other, and yep! you guessed it, BOTH collars were popped.
ghetto.
i find it just a fad and it's over already, but there are still those super hot people, that no matter what they're wearing, will always be and look hot, so they can get away with a popped collar here and there. haha.
and isn't poppin the collar mainly for guys? i was born in the 80's ('84) so i dont know if women did it too? shrugs.
as for shoulder pads.. i wasn't feeling the look when i saw my mom with them.. not to mention short haircuts were in fashion and it made her look like a transvestite. rofl.
