Should I wear the collar of my 3 button polo shirt (Ralph Lauren or Lacoste) up or down?

Should I wear the collar of my 3 button polo shirt (Ralph Lauren or Lacoste) up or down? I'm 34..?

I get a lot of stick for wearing it up...

Have to admit I'm 35 and wear mine up all the time - I wear RL or YSL mostly and have about 15 that I rotate all through the summer.
I guess I have always done it since I started wearing Polo shirts about 15 years ago. I'm sticking with up for a few more years. I do the same with rugby shirts too.

Wearing it up is to '80's. Wearing it down is the current fashion. If you don't you will be out of fashion for the next 5-10 years when they start wearing it up again, as fashion is not only fickle, it is cyclical.

Leave the very last button buttoned down but leave the other two open. A polo shirt implies a certain amount of casual & buttoning it all the way up implied a certain amount of control that is in total contrast to the garment. If you have a little chest hair, it will peek out of the unbuttoned part, or maybe wear a very thick discreet gold chain (classy, not flashy/trashy bling). Polo shirts look great with khakis or dark denims, pressed with a crease, & Dockers or Topsiders. Good luck - !

check out men's fashion magazines for tips - I'm not saying become a candidate for Metrosexual of the Year, but if you have questions about what you're wearing then look around & see what style you wish to develop.

In the current hot weather, wearing your collar up protects the back of your neck from sunburn!!

Well thats what i tell people anyway.

Who thinks school dress codes are stupid?

Who thinks ralph lauren pas cher codes are stupid?
i have to wear a polo shirt and khaki pants every day and you can only wear the colors green white and blue.also you have to tuck in your shirt
no i don't have a school dress uniform or w.e

though the only thing i dislike about the school dress code is the thing about hats...i dont understand is it bc its polite? or something?
I had to wear a uniform everyday, too.

It's actually better because students don't lose focus from school to what everyone is wearing, etc.

Trust me, it sucks now, but you'll appreciate it later.
Lol u got ureself a uniform! I think dresscodes are really stupid, none of my friends (that are guys) can wear their hair pass their colar! HOW RETARDED! lol
Do they let the girls wear skirts? You should try going in a skirt. I love to crossdress.
I think they are ridiculous. I graduated in 2000 which was the first year they began enforcing it at my old school. Instead of enforcing uniform codes the schools they could just get off their lazy butts and try to enforce dress codes. Like no tank tops, no wearing your pants down to the crack of your butt, no flip flops, etc.
I think it's a good idea to have a school dress code. I had one when I was in high school. at least you get to wear something nice, i had to wear a dress shirt and tie with black pants. The odd occasion we were able to wear khaki and a nice polo shirt. it lets everyone be equal, no one gets teased if they can't afford some of the nicer things then what other ppl can
I think dress codes are actually cool...in that when you are on your private time you actually have a chance to express yourself in your dress. It's more an opportunity for you out of school, to be you. Youo should look forward to the time you get to express yourself and embrace that. Plus no one needs to be distracted with someone expressing themselves in their attire in school. I support uniforms.

Is it acceptable for a man to wear a ralph lauren pink shirt?

Is it acceptable for a man to wear a pink shirt?

My friends say that I need to wear a pink polo shirt but I rather not. That is their own female perspective what do you think?

Some dudes just look good in Ralph Lauren boutique pink. Lots of guys can be seen running around with pink polo shirts on - guys that are almost certainly straight. But they shouldn't try to pressure you. I mean, not every dude feels comfortable wearing the trademark colour of women - which is understandable.

I say if you want to wear a certain color go for ralph lauren pas cher doesn't matter if it's acceptable or not if thats what you want and its not hurting anyone go for it. so to answer your question yes it's acceptable to wear a pink shirt.

Some girls dont like it, but i think its great! Real men wear pink! If you are comfortable enough with yourself and you like the shirt, then who cares what others think. But if you dont like the shirt then dont wear it!

Sure, I have before, once. My skin color doesn't work with pink or yellow. If it looks good with your skin, go for it. It is just a color and has no meaning. I have seen news anshors wear pink shirts with a tie and they look fine.

wooot real men wear pink! as like 100 ppl have previously posted.
But seriously, pink can look very attractive on a guy, as long as you wear it with other sort of masculine clothes.

i would describe the shirt but you asked for the writing. oh and yes i have writing on my shirt.

on the back it says... sponsere by calvert pto

yep, that's it. now i will go back to eating my apple with peanut butter. good day.
let me tell you that "do you having" is incorrect, and so is " a American."
I have a tee shirt that written on it the following phrase:"caution: I'm the one your mother warned you about," but i have never put it on. its orange.
It's from our soccer season two years ago. We won district that year and the year before that. For the past two years we have one second place if you want to know. If not I'm sorry for taking your time. By the way * is where our team name goes, and I don't really want to put that on here because of the some(not all) weird people on this site.

How do you keep the collar on a polo shirt from curling under at the points?

I iron it, but somehow throughout the day it tends to curl under?!?! so frustrating! and sloppy

Spray starch is a bit wimpy for this job so you can make your own starch instead.

Go to the grocery store's laundry aisle and pick up a box of ARGO starch. A "medium" starch should work well without your collar feeling like cardboard. Follow the directions on the package, but only dip the collar of your shirt in the solution.

Wring out the excess starch and lay your shirt face down on a towel to dry (overnight should do it) and make sure you smooth out the collar points.

The next time you wear your shirt, the points will be nice and straight and they won't curl up on you!

Remove it from the dryer while it is still damp and use a clothes pin on the points of the collar to hold them straight. I also do this on pant pockets that curl up.

Figure out exactly where and how you want the collar to lie, then pin it down. Turn the shirt inside out and tack it down with a couple of stitches.

For men's shirts, there are inserts that can be put on the points that keep them from curling. I don't know if there are similar things for women. If all else fails, extra-stiff starch.

This answer will date me, but here goes. Shirts used to come with little plastic inserts sewn into the collar to hold them down. I have added those to shirt collars myself in the past to help keep collars laying straight against the shirt. I used to make the strips out of plastic gallon milk jugs. It sounds wierd, but does work. Make a tiny slit under the shirt collar and insert the sliver of plastic at an angle and use a needle and thread to secure the sliver in position, from underneath, making sure the needle does not penetrate through to the top side of the shirt material, so it is invisible. Use a little spray starch to lightly iron the collar and remove any wrinkles and you are through.
The strip of plastic is usually about 1/4 inch wide x 1 3/4 long.
I think some men's dress shirts still come with these.

Does Abercrombie & Fitch hire colored people?

Ok,I'm a Skinny 15 year old, Super-Preppy Black kid that wears only American Eagle,Polo Ralph Lauren,Abercrombie & Fitch,and Hollister,Also Lacoste.I'm not rich or snobby,I get excellent grades in school,so my parents can buy those clothes.I'm in the 9th grade and I'm thinking of getting a job at a Abercrombie & Fitch store at the local mall.I heard that like 2 years ago they got sued for being racist.I always shop there and the workers don't mind.That's not my only option,if that doesn't work then I'm working at a brand new Hollister that is coming to my local mall.So which store is the best one for me?The Polo Ralph Lauren and Lacoste store are out of the question,they are 2 hours away from my house.

yeah i work at abercrombie
and im black
my co workers that i am really close to call me the "tocken" because im the only black one there
but yes they should hire you
but dosent mean the will!

Just because a company gets sued does not mean that they are racist. It usually just indicates that they have a disgruntled employee looking to pad their pockets.
From your description and articulate means of expression, especially at your age, I think you would do very well at any store you choose to work with.
If Abercrombie & Fitch is your favorite, go get that job and avail yourself of the employee discounts that they offer.
You present yourself very well.

Okay try all stores for sure. Just apply for all. And they should hire colored people. If they don't they they aren't worth working for. I seriously hate all of the racism and the labelling thing. It's stupid and not cool. So like if you get rejected shrug it off, because they're not worth it. And good luck on getting a job :D

the best one for you depends on their wages, flexibility in your hours as to what they are hiring for, your activities out side of school and so on. check them both out online and apply for both online and when you interview you always have the option of declining the job if you think its not for you which is much more respectable than taking the job for 2 weeks and quitting cause you don't like it. but yes, legally they have to have a quota of so many of color (not necessarily just black, mexican and other races count as people of color) so many women and so many men to make it legal.
