Occasionally a semi-tuck. I love the look of a full-tuck on a long-waisted hourglass wearing full-leg high-waisted pants. I am a short-waisted rectangle so cannot pull that off, at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1714848 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:05:04 +0000 BlondeAmbition 1714848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 40 and I have just begun tucking. &nbsp;I've always loved the look but felt too self conscious being a size 16 to do so. &nbsp;But I've learned that my shape (hourglass/pear) lends itself to a full smooth tucking. &nbsp;I'm not yet comfortable with tucking in when wearing pants but I'm doing it regularly now with A-line skirts. &nbsp;I think it's all about your shape so experiment and take lots of photos and put those photos away for a couple of months. &nbsp;When you come back to the photos you'll see them with a fresh eye. &nbsp;That's what works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1714545 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 21:08:02 +0000 Ledonna N. 1714545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends o the top or jacket and bottoms I am wearing.&nbsp; I love the look of a tucked top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1714078 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 00:11:05 +0000 Aida 1714078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Full tuck with a little blousing here! Tighter tucks don't stay put for me, I must move too much. Worn often </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1714068 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 23:54:55 +0000 Barbara Diane 1714068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never tuck. My belly/abdomen is not my best feature. And I'm one of those people who looks wider when viewed from the side, so it really isn't a good look on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713793 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 15:45:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1713793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not much of a Tucker.

I wish I had learned a long time ago that tucking doesn't work for me. Oh well.... better late than never. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713679 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 12:42:57 +0000 Liz 1713679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has your daughter said why she wants you to do this? (Does she have good fashion sense and is seeing a smooth tuck on fashionable women and wants you to wear one too? Is she a tidy person and likes it better? Is she thinking that there is something off with proportions on what you're doing now?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713653 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 10:47:23 +0000 Anonymous 1713653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always tucked (either full or half tuck). &nbsp;I wear mid-rise slacks and jeans. &nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if the half tuck is being replaced by the "smooth tuck? &nbsp;Wouldn't you need a fairly fitted top for a smooth tuck? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713645 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 09:09:56 +0000 rachylou 1713645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I don't usually tuck because I have to untuck to take an insulin shot when I eat. Messes everything up.</p> <p>But the other thing about tucking is that it requires a particular trouser fit, IMO. A roomier one so your shirt tails don't create lumps... I pretty much wear skinny fit only these days, not trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713625 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 05:27:37 +0000 Sally 1713625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a short waisted apple and find full tucking hard. &nbsp;I half tuck with the front tucked in and the back out. &nbsp;I find the best pants to semi tuck with are a bit lower rise. &nbsp;I dont tuck with high rise pants or skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713589 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 03:02:39 +0000 Anonymous 1713589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer a half tuck for looser shirts rather than a full tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713582 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 02:47:29 +0000 Suz 1713582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to semi tuck and blouse with fluid fit tops. I also wear tops out if the bottom is smooth on top, as with a tube skirt. With rare exceptions, I dislike wearing tops out if there is a fly front as with jeans. And sometimes I tuck completely, usually more fitted tops.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713577 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 02:43:12 +0000 DonnaF 1713577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually semi-tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713573 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 02:29:07 +0000 Anonymous 1713573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pretty much never tuck. Think it depends on your shape, outfit, and comfort with the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713569 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 02:14:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1713569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks aside, I find a semi-tuck much more comfortable than a full tuck. That's what I do 90 % of the time, I'd say. I rarely do a full tuck. If I do, it's a fitted t-shirt, and I wear a cardigan or jacket over it. With less fitted tops, I like to pull a little out, to blouse over the waist. </p> <p>I think it's understandable that you would be more comfortable with not tucking, or at most, semi-tucking, if you are an apple shape. I also think it's probably just as flattering not to tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-tuck-or-not-1#post-1713566 Sun, 14 Aug 2016 02:09:27 +0000 Tammyb 1713566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you usually tuck in your tops? If you do, do you pull some out for a blouson effect? My 13 yo daughter is trying to get me to do a smooth tuck. But my body shape is apple and I don't think it's flattering on me. But maybe I'm just not used to that look.... </p>
