<p>If you want to be seen as an outsider, wear the collar down. True W&Lers flip the collar up. </p>
<p>I'm dead serious. The guys here have more pastel than I do.</p>
<p>You will never ever see me in a pink polo, I promise you guys that.</p>
<p>I guess I'll see how things are like when we go down in March and adjust accordingly for the fall.</p>
<p>Hee hee, Dima, I'll hold you to that. Maybe there's something in the food that attracts guys to pink shirts. Anyone know anything about pre-orientation trips? I'm thinking about doing one because from what I've heard they sound fun, but I don't really have that much info. Have a great night, y'all!</p>
<p>PS-- Real men wear pink ;-)</p>
<p>Men trying to act like they're cool wear pink.</p>
<p>I guess I'll have to be an outsider, with my collar (horrifically) where it should be :) I'm so glad that only about 5 people at my whole school pop their collar. I think I would go crazy if more people did.</p>
<p>Popping the collar is pretty prevalent in Nor Cal as well.</p>
<p>Is anyone else arriving a day early?</p>
<p>Collar non-poppers unite!</p>
<p>I just got back from a weekend with pink polos and popped collars. Am looking forward to Yankees jerseys and such instead back here in NY.</p>
<p>Goodnight.</p>
<p>I don't mind the stereotypical dresscode that we're all expecting as much as everyone else seems to. I have the pastel dress shirts (none pink, actually, but that's because everyone I know has the pink ones and I felt more comfortable with buying the pastel green ones instead!), and polo shirts, but I don't see what's wrong with it. I feel comfortable in it, but it's not all I wear.</p>
<p>As for the collars, I don't put mine up. If, however, I had been the first person at my school to realize that it was "cool" (social irony included), I may have been okay with doing it once or twice in tenth grade. But, as it were, people who are decidedly not cool seem to have a monopoly on the popped collars at my high school. In order to not be a part of that group, my collars stay down.</p>
<p>Not that any of this really matters... haha... geeze, my regional scholarship interview schedule still isn't up. Maybe I don't have to do one for the regional thing. That would be nice.</p>
<p>I'm gonna point out that we've resorted to complaining about how people dress likely because complaining is more fun than praising and we've run out of things to complain about.</p>
<p>I can agree with that.</p>
<p>LOL, I'm thinking that if popped collars is the only thing we have to complain about we've made a really good choice in schools. Hey, this time next week we'll all be packing and getting ready to leave. Woohoo! I'm taking an obscenely early shuttle to the airport-- it's a little sad living an hour away when you have an early morning flight. But I'm sure I'll survive. ;-) Hope y'all are doing good.</p>
<p>~*~</p>
<p>Yeah, wow, the trip is approaching rather quickly :). I finally went shopping (after much procrastinating) today for various, more-formal-than-my-usual-type-of-clothes to wear.</p>
<p>I'm back to debating the whole jacket thing in my head, I had so much fun in my suits this weekend.</p>
<p>Ooh, this is a classic - as I'm typing this in walks my friend in, what else?, a pink polo with a popped collar.</p>
<p>Heh. I'm still not bringing a suit jacket. I'm going to be kind of dressy all weekend, and definitely formal during the interview, but the jacket just seems to be out of the question right now. Especially because I still didn't buy a normal one.</p>
<p>(I could, however, wear my cordoruy one and make it work, but I probably shouldn't.)</p>
