    It’s a power move that says, "I’m in control. I know what I’m doing. I don’t need your help."

    I’ll often use other subtle cues like not fully buttoning my shirt, to indicate that I’m not a "buttoned up" kind of guy ie not a pushover like a typical employee, but a self-confident alpha boss who calls the shots.

        I think it’s more of a primal man thing. I feel like an animal when I let some of my breast hair peak out of my shirt, like a lion heading out to stalk his pray. I wouldn’t expect non-Alphas to understand.

      I miss this kind of trolling where some effort is put into the act, not just pretending to be excessively dumb.

      you are not a physical nasty beast nor are you in charge, at all, of anything. you do not call the shots, you are nobody’s boss, you do not lead anybody. you will never be a revered leader, nor will you be the alpha male you so desperately wish you were. no matter how much you work out, no matter how much of a toxic "alpha sigma" whatever you try to be, no matter how obnoxious and arrogant you are, you will never be like your idols, except only in the way that their presence dries up pussies quicker than something that dries things up really fast. in short, you are not a leader. you cannot even lead yourself, you’re so deluded that you’ve convinced yourself you’re this big sigma alpha male chad, despite the fact that you’re just following a shitty program that your favorite e-celeb threw out there. so in reality you’re not leading anybody, you’re just another follower that’s been deluded enough to believe he’s anything but a follower. hecking follower ass nigga.

    on a polo? not really, just aesthetic.
    On something like an overcoat? protects back of the neck from wind.

    When I lived in California I would do it to stop my neck from getting burned. Pretty effective, 10/10 when done with sunscreen.

      This. Also cost me a landscape supervisor position at a college because some absolute dickhead department head couldn’t handle one of "his guys" doing it. Dude was such a dickhead so glad he decided to give me a reason to never see him again.

    Collars were originally part of military uniforms. They were worn up when on duty and folded down to hide insignia when off duty. Various other clothing copied the collars when "off-duty military officer" was common enough to be recognizable yet also something aspirational. By the time polo shirts appeared the military association and the original reasoning had long vanished.

      Collars are to catch sweat. Polo shirts are for tennis are similar juppy sports where sweaty clothing is disliked. Polos also have that cuff on the sleeve to catch sweat from the armpits doesn’t drip down the arm.

    I work outside and my uniform is a polo top
    >protect from the sun
    >protect from the wind
    >protect from plants
    Basically just that tbf. Your torso and arms can handle a bit of sunburn, biting wind, or being raked by bramble but they all are 100x worse on your neck
    Dunno why anybody would do it for fashion
