popped collar
Fraternity style statement
A popped collar is a shirt collar turned up rather than folded down flat, typically on a polo shirt or oxford.
The style carries preppy associations and was popular in the 1980s.
It can signal casual confidence or, depending on context, mark someone as trying too hard: He showed up with his collar popped like it was 1985.
