My high waist makes tucking look dreadful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655944 Fri, 06 May 2016 12:00:03 +0000 El Cee 1655944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Relieved to hear that my untucked self is OK style-wise… at least for now. I am high-waisted and long legged, so tucking never looks right on me… proportions are way off.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655939 Fri, 06 May 2016 11:54:22 +0000 Sally 1655939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's good to have choices as someone said. I'm short waisted so I never fully tuck but like the option of a semi tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655932 Fri, 06 May 2016 11:40:38 +0000 Anonymous 1655932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As others say, it depends on the outfit. I found it interesting that the looks in the slideshow aren't a direct tuck/no tuck comparison. Most are carefully crafted to create their own structure, with a cropped, nipped or waistbanded topper. </p> <p>With my short legs and long rise, a full tuck is the most conventionally flattering option. The trouble is I have to keep re-tucking as I move around throughout the day. I tucked a silk shirt yesterday, and what a nuisance it was, especially as I live in fear of inappropriate workplace flesh exposure. </p> <p>I resisted the semi tuck for ages. It started out as seeming a bit precious to me--and I still feel I look like I'm trying too hard whenever I do it. But I have succumbed because it's the most genius practical and flattering solution for someone with my body type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655913 Fri, 06 May 2016 10:35:36 +0000 Style Fan 1655913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like options.&nbsp; I have always preferred the full tuck on me in most cases.&nbsp; I also like a full tuck with high waisted jeans and I am really embracing that look right now.&nbsp; Sometimes I don't tuck my top in and let it hang out to create interest when I am wearing a topper.&nbsp; I never do a semi tuck.&nbsp; I have never been able to do that without it looking like I am half dressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655902 Fri, 06 May 2016 09:09:13 +0000 Summer 1655902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad that we have the freedom to choose these days.&nbsp; Tucking has never looked good on me, and, if I try it, I end up feeling bundled up and uncomfortable.&nbsp; Thank goodness for choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655895 Fri, 06 May 2016 08:05:30 +0000 lyn67 1655895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all good, but I find no tuck so much easier &nbsp;on a fuller bod, you know:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655858 Fri, 06 May 2016 03:27:33 +0000 Sveta 1655858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, it is good to know we have a freedom of choice here. I often do semi-tuck out of necessity because most of tops are too short on me to a full tuck or to be worm untucked. I do like to structure and look of full tuck but I really struggle with it on my body so often I start my day with a full tucked &nbsp;top and then change to a semi-tuck later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655835 Fri, 06 May 2016 02:42:51 +0000 rabbit 1655835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like variety too. &nbsp;Actually for me a lot depends on the pants. &nbsp;If I'm wearing a completely untucked shirt I usually either want it to be long, with skinny bottoms (usually cropped length or rolled), &nbsp;or I want it to end just below the belt line in a more boxy or fitted shape to balance out pants or skirts with more flare or volume. &nbsp;Or it needs to be under a jacket which provides structure. &nbsp;Untucked and blousey/oversized with volume on the bottom too is tricky for me without lots of careful structure built around it. &nbsp;(Deborah from Oz is great at volume on top of volume). &nbsp;So several of the pins to me look fashion forward, but really difficult to pull off in real life without just looking kind of floppy and undefined.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655831 Fri, 06 May 2016 02:36:43 +0000 Anonymous 1655831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thrilled that it's all good.

The full tuck does me no favours, and anyway, I like the casual vibe of the no tuck or semi-tuck. Long may this trend last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655774 Fri, 06 May 2016 00:58:39 +0000 Angie 1655774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a tucker too, Aida.

Glad it's all good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655667 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:28:15 +0000 Aida 1655667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These days I think I'm full tucking more often than not, even in casual outfits -- it's the easiest way for me to get structure and fittedness out of my large number of oversized/too-large pieces as I can't replace much this year and am really hankering for a more tailored overall fit. I also find myself semi-tucking a LOT less, opting to full tuck in almost all cases. Very glad all options are good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655663 Thu, 05 May 2016 21:22:43 +0000 texstyle 1655663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five Una - I think the semi-tuck has been a key game changer for me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655638 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:32:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1655638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that article and thought about posting it here, too, Deb. I do a mix of things ...

I'm short waisted, and I look so much better when I don't tuck. That said, I agree with Angie. It's all good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655520 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:48:42 +0000 Angie 1655520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Full tuck, semi-tuck, no tuck -<b> it's ALL good.</b>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-is-tucking-in-your-shirt-going-out-of-style#post-1655516 Thu, 05 May 2016 16:46:08 +0000 deb 1655516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I just read this piece and wondered what your thoughts are?</p> <p><a href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/untucked-tshirt-trend" rel="nofollow">http://www.whowhatwear.com/untucked-tshirt-trend</a> </p>
