Is there an easy rule of thumb in design for whether or not to tuck in a man’s shirt?
Question by rilo: Is there an easy rule of thumb in design for whether or not to tuck in a man’s shirt?
I know there are some shirts you tuck in, and some you don’t, but how can I tell which one is which?
My basic rule of thumb so far is to just judge whether or not it looks stupid. But I heard somewhere once that it depends upon the bottom hemline. Is this true?

yes . . . generally a dress shirt (one you’d wear w/ a shirt and tie) has a curved hem. higher on the sides and long in front and back. a shirt that can be untucked will be even all the way around. however, i know guys who wear dress shirts either way. just be carefull b/c sometimes they just look goofy or too long.

The ones with the slits on the side you don’t have to tuck in. The slits are usually on polo’s. But for those, if the guy is wearing a nice belt or with a cool belt buckle, tucking in a little just the front is a great look. Not tucked in all the way, just so that the tail is tucked in and the shirt folds over a little. Also, if the shirt comes down lower than mid-butt, tuck it in a little.
