Fascinating! I pretty much only tuck like #1 (at my waist), or at #2 if the skirt is too big to stay up at my waist. I never do #3 because it doesn't accentuate my waist at all. And I'm an hourglass with IT tendencies. Now I'll have to check if #1 is actually making my shoulders look super broad...

I actually think 3 is the least shoulder accentuating, but the most masculine. Then again, I love it, because that is totally my style.

Kate, I've a feeling the wide striped shirt isn't helping with the shoulders in #1 I think you also wear softer cuts and fabrics than I do which I'm sure helps minimize the IT effects with that type of tucking. For what it's worth I don't think I've ever thought your shoulders look super broad with that type of tucking.

Elly, that's what I see as well! So I'm thinking maybe it's not the vibe of the outfit that he's reading as masculine, but whether or not the outfit gives me a "masculine shape" (shoulders seem to be the major determining factor of that, based on our discussion), if that makes sense.

Ah bless Aida, this has been like pulling hens teeth for you.

So I gather hubby does not believe that tucking is masculine but has tried to express that he thinks tucking for you, in certain circumsatnces, may not be the most figure flattering.

Take heed girls, your man may notice more than we assume and MEN notice?

Aida - how fortunate to have a husband so in tune with your style and fits and flatters! You are very lucky. I don't think his opinions are wacky or out of left field at all...of course, they are just opinions, and you have to weigh them against your own, because yours count, too!
