Yeah your shirt is gonna get cinched when you tuck it in but that's a fact of life. I would have to see how it looks on you to say for sure, but I would guess having your shirt tucked in all the way would still look better than tucking it in and then slightly pulling it out to cover your belt.

Maybe I can take a pic or two sometime. I've tried it and it looks bad with my clothes, I just assume they aren't fitted enough. My friend looks great doing it your way though. May be body type too, he's a bit more built in the upper body.


So what's the opinion on chinos + low cut shoes (Sperrys, etc) with low socks? Look fine? Do you need to roll up the chinos a bit?

Yeah it's possible your body type factors into it. Generally loose fitting clothes just make you look larger than you actually are, so it's better to avoid them.

I roll up my chinos when I wear low cut shoes. I try to wear no-show socks from J Crew and I swear by them. Very comfortable and it looks great to not have any sock showing out of the top of your shoe.

Thanks. Do you roll them and wear tucked button ups? Or is it more for an untucked shirt + chinos look.

I'm trying to put together some looks for summer, thus all the questions. I've never really been able to wear chinos outside of work.

Here's my rule #1: If I wear a button up shirt, it's always tucked. I like the tucked-in shirt + chinos look, and I also really like the tucked-in shirt + shorts look. However make sure to roll up your sleeves if you're wearing a button-up shirt with shorts, because otherwise you will look weird. Also if you're wearing shorts make sure they're not athletic or gym shorts (goes without saying, but you never know).

I generally roll up my chinos, tuck in my shirt, roll up my sleeves, and choose a nice pair of sunglasses to pair with the outfit. You can even add a blazer to class it up (don't roll up your sleeves if you're doing this), or even a tie. I've been known to rock a fedora on occasion. Just make sure the colors/patterns go well together. One of my favorite looks is white rolled up chinos, boat shoes/loafers, a pink oxford shirt, and a navy blue blazer. Looks dope.

Here's another look:

The Dapper Style generally focuses on the preppy look, so that's probably why you get that impression.

That looks awful.

Agree 100%. I'm surprised he's not wearing Sperry's.

I do actually, and no, I'm not 70.

Some shirts are made to be tucked in, that's the whole reason they're cut long. Tucking in a shirt can look sophisticated and casual at the same time depending on what you pair it with. I'm a firm believer that it looks more put together than having your shirt untucked, assuming the shirt is meant to do the former.

Let's not start this madness again. Things can get heated on both sides.

team tuck wins soley because most shirts are not designed to be left untucked, and the kind of people (oooh judgemental) who want to untuck everything are not going to be bothered to get every shirt tailored

that's the point when you wear untucked you are wearing an exclusive shirt

any old navy and sears rag can be tucked in. it takes a figure to pull of untuck

 

[Kraftwerk]

I went balls to the walls today and bought a pair of really bright green jeans. Decided to add more color to my wardrobe for summer. Will post a pic later.

Jeans or chinos? Regardless, that's dope. I know you've been looking for green pants for awhile now. Glad you finally got some.

 

[Frustrated_me]

I'm sorry guys, but loafers are ugly and like Fedoras, they don't work on most people. Boat shoes are the same to a lesser extent.

Ohh? I just piked these up last month, awesome shoes. Kinda on the expensive side but the quality is pure class.

 

[freenudemacusers]

look at all you route 66 buying, arizona jeans wearin nobodies

 

[sfedai0]

I cant tuck when Im wearing jeans. Something just seems off when I do that...like Im wearing DaD jeans.

 

[Boken]

or like youre not wearing a belt!

 

[luckyboyceo]

Probably cause jeans typically have a lower rise than suit trousers would. Depending on the fit, the shirt can balloon out around the hips. More tailored shirts can help avoid this.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm just saying sometimes maybe it's best not to force the tuck. I saw a guy wearing a muscle shirt tucked into jeans. I mean wtf is that.

 

[freenudemacusers]

don't worry I will rock my camp shirts without a tuck this summer.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Oh he sold out alright.

heres him with out the tuck looking like a champ -

look at that untucked alpha god

 

[Lunchbox]

honestly though, living in the northeast i mostly wear a sweater over my shirts so no one can tell if its tucked or not anyways

so im fighting a false war with tucked goobers

post more dumbasses in white belts. Keep digging.

 

[Rookje]

I think tucked works if you have the body for it. If you have any kind of belly it highlights the fact, and can make you look older. It also depends on if you have a belt and what type of jeans you wear.

If you have a long torso and shorter legs, and wear low cut jeans with a tucked shirt it will look odd, for example.

lol look at that curvy tuck area

If your body looks like this then by all means tuck in your shirt.
