Lipstick on the collar, a telltale giveaway that he is cheating. This old trope has its roots in the days when most men wore shirts with collars and women wore lipstick that marked easily. The wife, doing her husband's laundry, finds a pink mark on her husbands collar and immediately concludes that he has a mistress. When the husband returns from work, he finds that he has been Exiled to the Couch or his belongings thrown outside. Most of the time in comedies it's Not What It Looks Like. The stain is ketchup, or the lipstick is from his grandmother pecking him on the cheek. See also Affair Hair and Affair Letters for other types of evidence of affairs. For the variations not related to infidelity, see Covered in Kisses and Signed with a Kiss. In a case of Reality Is Unrealistic, the lipstick marks are generally shown in visual media as a clear impression of a woman's lips on one of the points of the collar. In real life, the mark is more likely to be a smear or smudge near or along the top edge, unless she was deliberately marking his shirt as a challenge to the wife. Historically, lipsticks contained chemicals like bromo acid to make the them long-lasting and the lips stained and smear-free; as such, from it was considered a Serious Business for the husband having lipstick stains, not just with the relationship, but also the laundry.

The Cramp Twins: In "Cramp vs Cramp", Wayne is trying to make his parents get a divorce so he can go on vacations due to the belief that children with divorced parents have a better life. After his previous attempts fail, he tries to make his parents look like they're cheating on each other. Mr Cramp's encounter with Miss Hissy (who did try to make out with him, much to his horror) set by Wayne leaves the former with a lipstick mark on his collar, so naturally, Mrs Cramp (who is also accused of cheating on her husband at that moment) accuses him of an affair. | |

Invoked in Fantozzi: rather than confess to his wife that he's staying out late to take billiard lessons (It Makes Sense in Context) after saying he wouldn't, Fantozzi pretends to have an affair and, among various tricks, smears his own collars with lipstick. When his wife finally confronts him and asks if he's cheating on her, he claims he is... only to reveal the billiard gown under his jacket, blowing his cover. | |

Archie Comics Betty and Veronica notice a lipstick mark on his clothes, and when they realize it isn't theirs, they walk out right then and there. Turns out, the mark was his mom's. They did this with a Jughead story as well. He walks around school with what looks like a lipstick mark on the corner of his mouth. Archie and the others spend the whole story trying to figure out whose it was. In the end it turns out the mark was from ice cream pops he hid in the school freezer. |
