| When to Tuck in that Shirt? To tuck or not to tuck, that is the question. With dress clothing, the answer is simple: Youve got to tuck. With sportswear, theres a bit more flexibility. Here are a few pointers and to consider. The general rule
The general rule is that untucked items appear more casual and relaxed. This doesnt mean that leaving casual shirts or sportswear untucked is necessarily inappropriate; it just means that for professional dress casual environments (like golf with a client or a company BBQ), this choice might appear a bit more relaxed than you would prefer. Look and design
Second, consider the look and design of the item in question before opting to untuck it. Dress shirts and sport shirts that have the typical, curved shirt tails are designed to be worn tucked into a waistband. This is why they have the tail design, to allow the shirt to move without coming out altogether. In contrast, many sportswear items feature a squared off hem that is designed to be worn either tucked or untucked. Use your judgment
Its best to take a look at yourself in an untucked shirt before running out the door. Think about where youre going, who youre meeting with and the image you want to project. Then decide what makes you feel most comfortable and go with that. |
