I've been trying it with t-shirts so maybe that's why it's not working&nbsp;Most of my pants/jeans are mid-rise, so that should work. Also, maybe it's how I'm styling the whole thing (or not as the case may be). I really love the look, so back to the drawing board.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-to-tuck-or-not-to-tuck#post-1217120 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:08:15 +0000 Golden 1217120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Elizabeth P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-to-tuck-or-not-to-tuck#post-1217115 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:06:42 +0000 Elizabeth P 1217115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Erikajl, another trick is that it doesn't work well on higher rise pants.&nbsp; They need to be mid to low rise.</p> <p>I also don't have much of a waist, I'm an IT/rectangle.&nbsp; This gives the illusion that one is there, without actually showing what it looks like.&nbsp; Magic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-to-tuck-or-not-to-tuck#post-1217111 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 13:00:50 +0000 Suz 1217111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! Not Angie, but she is travelling so may not get to this yet. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/09/19/casual-tucking-semi-versus-faux/">Here's a blog post she wrote on the subject.&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Most of us can tuck or semi-tuck. I also have a long rise, and shorter legs -- I find tucking is actually a really great look on me because it elongates the leg line automatically! Could it be that your eye just needs time to adjust to the look on yourself?&nbsp;</p> <p>The main trick I can think of is to try it with fluid fitting tops. Something that drapes a bit. This usually makes it easier to do. You can adjust the sides of the top to be where you like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-to-tuck-or-not-to-tuck#post-1217072 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 12:25:54 +0000 Erikajl 1217072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone is talking about the faux or partial&nbsp;tucking of tops and I love the way it looks. However, what&nbsp;do you do&nbsp;if tucking of any kind looks awful on your body. I have a long rise, undefined waist,&nbsp;and shorter legs, so tucking looks terrible on me. Is there a trick to tucking that will make it work better, or should I just not do tucking at all? </p>
