The Collar Flip

Not to be confused with the popped collar which automatically makes you douche-tacular.

"All over sartorial Japan (at least in the Classic Italian sub-genre) guys flip their shirt collar to appear more nonchalant. Even the shops display the shirts with the collars flipped." - The Sartorialist


This is exactly why I love menswear. It is this kind of attention to detail and subtlety that I find so impressive and charming. Please also notice the addition of the pocket handkerchief and the placement of the pin. Guys, there are SO many options for accessories! Use them! Have fun!

Actually, one could argue this is taking douche to a whole new level, but it's Japanese which automatically makes everything cool.
