Tucking a shirt in is no longer just about inserting the bottom of the shirt into the bottom clothing. The idea has evolved significantly. It is essential to master the traditional tucking technique for work, but it is equally important to know how to do it in a street-style way. You don’t want to look alike daily, especially with many grooming options. Even a basic dress shirt can look like it belongs on the red carpet. Don’t worry; we will help you. This article will tell you how to tuck in a shirt using different styles. Scroll down to read this article. Let’s get to it. Come on!
How to Tuck in a Shirt 5 Different Ways
Full Tuck
We last wore oversized T-shirts a long time ago. It can sometimes look like you are engulfed by it and lost in your outfit. It is particularly true for petite women. We still need to wear this look. But there are other ways to improve it. For example, you can do the full tuck.
How to Do It
Step 1: Start by tucking the shirt in from the front. Start at the front and work your way back.
Step 2: Tuck the sleeve as far into your pants as possible to appear neat and taut.
Step 3: Zip up your pants and pull your shirt out as if you were un-tucking it.
This will make it look fantastic and natural.
Front Mullet Tuck
Full tuck might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and I get it. Hang in there; front tuck comes to your rescue and makes you look street smart but not to the point where it starts looking shoddy. It takes 30 seconds to do this right to perfect the not-so-perfect-looking front tuck (see, what I did there?)
How to Do It
Step 1: Tuck the front of your shirt or T-shirt into the pants or skirt.
Step 2: Leave the shirt loose at the back.
Step 3: Wearing slacks and tights will allow you to tuck in the half tuck.
Tucks on the Half or One Side
This is a fun way to style shirts and tops. It’s easy. It’s undone but chic and modern. It looks fantastic, especially when paired with shirts of a smaller size.
How to Do it
Step 1: First, unbutton the last button.
Step 2: Tuck in one side of the shirt (whichever side you like).
Step 3: Bring the opposite side of your shirt up to the waistband. Tuck it loosely in.
Step 4: Tuck in the rest of the shirt until it measures about half the circumference.
Navel Tuck
Styles are getting better, easier, and more intelligent. If you didn’t notice, the tucks all take less than one minute to complete because lazy geese always use such hacks. If you want to show a bit of your midriff or look like a girl from the city, try the navel tuck.
How to Do it
Step 1: Grab the middlemost end of your shirt or top.
Step 2: Tuck it into your trousers.
Low Tuck
Let’s try to meet in the middle. This will make you look relaxed and laid-back. This will look right (refer to picture) with low-rise denim or linen pants.
How to Do it
Step 1: Start by tucking in the shirt from the front.
Step 2: Tuck the edges in.
Step 3: Zip your pants up.
Step 4: Pull out from the sides a little, except for the navel area, to make the look undone and bulgy.
Step 5: Be careful to keep the tuck tight and tight enough. It can increase the weight of your midriff.
Outfit Ideas
Front Tuck with a Full Denim Look
Are you aware that all denim high-rise looks usually have tucked-in tops? You can opt for the front tuck-in style to avoid going for a wholly tucked look. This style camouflages not flattering bulges and covers your wide hips if you’re concerned about this. Try the front tuck next time you wear a monochrome outfit.
Full Tuck with a Pencil Skirt
The full tuck looks great with any top. If you can pull off the full tuck, it suits any body type. Pencil skirts or peplums, high-rise jeans, boyfriend denim, etc. Here are some great choices for your casual style.
Low Tuck with Linen Trousers
Victoria Beckham is a fashionista who is never too extravagant. She looks fantastic in this outfit. Linen pants or low-rise sweatpants, with an oversized t-shirt, folded sleeves, a messy hairstyle, and aviators, are something I can’t get enough of. You can choose between white Converse or pumps for your footwear.
Half Tuck with Denims
When she’s not on the runway, Kendall Jenner loves boyfriend or mommy jeans and tucked-in shirts. She’s one Kardashian sister that is just like us. A half-tuck can be worn with either denim or a T-shirt for a more grungy look. If the shirt is too large, it can make you appear bulky.
Navel Tuck with Denim Shorts
You may have already done this with your denim jean shorts but didn’t realize it. It’s nice to try different styles of hot pants or denim shorts. If you still need to do it, the navel tuck is a great style to try next time.
Likely, you didn’t know how important it is to know how to tuck in a shirt. If you do it right, your street style will be elevated by several notches. In a few minutes, it can turn something simple into something stylish. You can do the full tuck if you have an oversized tee. You can opt for a one-sided tuck if the full tuck is not for you. It will give you a chic and effortless look. You can also try a low-rise tuck paired with low-rise sweatpants for a laid-back and relaxed look. Personal stylist Paola Farina says, “If you’re not confident with tucking, consider buying a bodysuit.” It looks good with minimal effort.”
