Normally, those are also "button up" shirts in cotton or cotton/polyester blends, but I'm sitting here right now with a polo shirt (three buttons from the neck down) that also has the collar tips buttoned to the shirt front.
Who knew that shirt buttons could be so confusing! 
Indeed I did confuse them. I mean "button-up". None of my shirts have collars that button to the shirt. Those are... weird.
