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.
