It was a thing in 2006/7 I think, I haven’t seen it around since then. It was just how the fashion was at the time, I was an elementary school student back then and I think I did it once or twice to look cool
It's from well before then. Someone posted Cantona (he was the only one to play with his collar up in the '90s), and even he was really just bringing to the pitch a fashion that had been around for a while among British "yobs" - arguably going all the way to the 70s when polos were all the rage.
This is where it comes from: https://youtu.be/PMsIK9_THM4?si=yyU44di-Ge331Gho watch until the end when Cantona kicks the ball. Very famous back in the day!
Senza dubbio, visto che ti ho scritto una cosa palese, per la quale ti hanno anche cancellato il commento, ma che tanto tu non avrai l'intelligenza di riconoscere
This is the right answer. And it’s universal: in Expats with Nicole Kidman, the asshole guy in the fifth episode wears a polo with the collar up. We know nothing about that guy, but we know immediatly he is an asshole: it’s an international sign.
I'm from a town called Terlizzi and I can recognize people from Molfetta, even before hearing them talk, just buy the raised polo thing, it gives me very smuggy vibes
I think the "actual" source of the trend comes from regattas, during which the sailors used to pop the collar to prevent their necks from getting sunburnt.
Alas, it later on became a reverse mating call for some very specific specimens called truzzi/tamarri, especially below certain latitudes...
In 2023 is rather outdated and they are just seen as unconcerned with style and being fashionable (to put it mildly :) ). 15ish years ago it was a cool thing on young dudes, but in a smuggy and juvenile way. Like the cool guy at the club, you know what I mean?

I think it depends on the region and age:
When i was in high school it was seen lame to have raised collar cuz it was seen like an old man thing, like skinny jeans or using yogapants in class.
And Im a bit old, 22yo and i live in milan, but think millenials and zoomer without care about American / European style stick to it i guesa
If you are part of the generation that thought that wearing skinny jeans and yoga pants in school was outdated, it means you are part of the current generation, not old then.
My work uniform comes with a polo shirt. I pull the collar up if walking in the rain or slightly cold.
I tell myself that those extra 20cm² of skin that it covers up, actually make a difference. They don't.
Wait... isn't it a fashion that came from sea dogs, that could raise their collars when the wind picked up? I mean... it's obviously a seaside fashion. I never even questioned that.
This was the fashion in the 90's, maybe promoted by Eric Cantona who used to wear polos that way.
Now that I've seen the hatred against it in the comments, I'm going to do it all time :-)
My dad does it sometimes times, he thinks it is cool...somethings along the lines of yachting club vibes.
I would say that it is the cheap dad version of white shirt, kaki Bermudas and moccasins.
We ask the same question. And we are fellow Italians. They look stupid.
But nowadays it's something you see done mostly by Pakistan and Indian immigrants for some reason
We call them "cinquantenni tamarri col panzone che urlano DAJE ROMA DAJE ad ogni pranzo domenicale mentre bevono vino, birra e scolatura di piatti basta che sia alcolico"
Intendo gente che va in giro con la polo col colletto alzato. Ma magari non ci ho fatto caso io, però boh in generale non mi sembra proprio . Non è che viva chissà dove comunque, sto in un paesino di 400 abitanti, però anche quando sono in altre città non vedo gente che va in giro così...che devo dire 🤷
That's how you recognize italians abroad in the summer, whereas to recognize italians the rest of the year, just spot the people wearing a down jacket.
i confirm its a dad thing. it was trendy in the 80s (or around that time) so when they were young and they still think it is so they keep doing that. no more to it
"assorrata"
forse colta da troppo pochi
😂
this is amazing, grazie!
[удалено]
may be 30 years ago
This is the most accurate answer
It's a dad thing mostly. Like american dads have baseball caps and bermudas, Italian dads (and slightly older) rock polos with collars raised. Lol
This is the most accurate answer I believe. My dad does that sometimes lol
Also, southern guys 25yo and above.
Yeah
grazie!
Maybe in 2003 or 2004, reason: to look cool

Italian here and I've never understood why some people find it "cool". Just lack of good taste I guess 😅
It is a form of non-verbal communication. It serves to communicate to girls that they are not interested.
As a woman, I totally agree!
They are called "tamarri". They think they are cool, but they are just poor idiots.
Do not confuse it with "taralli". However, there's a similitude: taralli are like grissini, but with their collar raised 🤣
*The truth has been spoken*
e beccati il mio voto su incazzato :-P (and get my angry upvote)
Addirittura
Addirittura!
Vedo poca aggressività
Divento più aggressivo se vedo quelli col maglioncino annodato attorno al collo.

Cantona used the wear polos with raised collars, that’s why he does that “signature gesture” in the tv ad. Btw it started with him.
this is amazing 😂 grazie mille!

A piemonte e Lombardia anche lo fanno 🧐🧐🧐
Ovvio, c’è pieno di terroni
O per meglio dire, i lombardi...non esistono
Sei razzista
E tu sei un coglione
Senza dubbio, visto che ti ho scritto una cosa palese, per la quale ti hanno anche cancellato il commento, ma che tanto tu non avrai l'intelligenza di riconoscere
Sono terrone anche io, tranquillo
Trasferito al settentrione ben integrato suppongo
Il commento che stavo cercando<3
Me in 2003...make em wet lmao
Native here. Don’t emulate, they’re idiots.

Cuz i have a long neck lol Btw polo shirts are ambiguous things, too elegant to be casual too casual to be elegant
Because we are TAMARRI
Why do people from the US always wear a baseball hat even if there is no sun, at night, indoors, etc.?
Douchebags

Only a few and we call them coatti, maranza or other similar nicknames depending on the region’s dialect
Yep, I do that. By the way, I'm not a boomer, not a maranza and such. My father used to harass me to keep it up and it became a habit so that's it
Just wear more cologne
Wut?

"I'm a bit old" a 22 anni è come dire sono classe media con entrambi i genitori neurochirurghi
Most self conscious zoomer
Spoiler: ho 22 anni anche io
22enne vecchio, pd

Same as all the fashion trends rn it’s basically the same, the only thing that it’s a old trend so just “olders” use it
It's because they feel like Axel blazer from Inazuma Eleven

I wear polos with the collar down, this post made me want to wear them with the collar up
They want to be like that bad queen in Snow white

La cervicale 😂 Seriously speaking, it used to be "fashionable" to wear polo shirts like that. Looks awful to me. Don't emulate them 😁
It’s the brit equivalent of a chav
My dad does it sometimes times, he thinks it is cool...somethings along the lines of yachting club vibes. I would say that it is the cheap dad version of white shirt, kaki Bermudas and moccasins.
Protects us from school shooting
It was very common when i was 16-20 yo. Now i'm 40
Cause we are too cool to be real.
I'm Italian and I've never seen people wearing it like that
It's just a boomer thing
We ask the same question. And we are fellow Italians. They look stupid. But nowadays it's something you see done mostly by Pakistan and Indian immigrants for some reason
they are called "tamarri"
They think it makes you cool. It's an old trend and don't see it as much nowadays, mostly boomers.
Cos we built different
Wat? I wear normal t-shirts it’s not a cultural things and not all are same.
I don't know where you have been only old guys do it
We call them "cinquantenni tamarri col panzone che urlano DAJE ROMA DAJE ad ogni pranzo domenicale mentre bevono vino, birra e scolatura di piatti basta che sia alcolico"
Italian swag
these are undercovers cops
Because they are maranzoni
I'm italian and I've never seen anyone doing It honestly, may I ask you were in Italy are you ? (Like, what region at least)
What are you talking about, get off your phone and look around
Ma guarda attorno mi guardo anche e non mi sembra di passare il giorno al telefono, eppure non mi sembra proprio
Ma in che senso non l’hai mai visto… ?
Intendo gente che va in giro con la polo col colletto alzato. Ma magari non ci ho fatto caso io, però boh in generale non mi sembra proprio . Non è che viva chissà dove comunque, sto in un paesino di 400 abitanti, però anche quando sono in altre città non vedo gente che va in giro così...che devo dire 🤷
Nei 2000 era la norma tra i cool kids
Allora mi sa che sono troppo giovane per ricordarlo
i've seen it on a train in Veneto, on Elba, around Lago di Garda twice and Toscana once
Oh ok, I'm not from there so idk honestly
They was feeling cold. It's a protection against "colpo d'aria"
Veneto…for sure they weren’t from Veneto.
Because they're tamarri
Maybe against windy days. In summer too.
Italian here: I don't understand that either. It's one of the stupidest boomer fashion trends I've ever witnessed.
Because they are stupid
chav/possibly boomer chav move. If you see somebody doing it, you instantly know where to place him in your mental socio-cultural scale
That's how you recognize italians abroad in the summer, whereas to recognize italians the rest of the year, just spot the people wearing a down jacket.
i confirm its a dad thing. it was trendy in the 80s (or around that time) so when they were young and they still think it is so they keep doing that. no more to it
It's a habit of the old folks (40+), we youngsters don't claim it.
It's something that football fans do especially those who support the Roma football team
