Hey brah, ever wonder if it's ok to pop your collar? The New York Times' Jon Caramanica answers that question for you. In his recent review of Brooks Brothers' new store in NYC's Flatiron District, he breaks down the new shop's multiple floors, which contain several outfits with the collars prominently popped.
