I could wear that one, and also 5. I am not a big fan of semi-tucking and would wear #1 and #4 untucked, and #2 either tucked or untucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild/page/2#post-2038802 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 15:14:04 +0000 karen13 2038802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of 2-5 but like so many, struggle with the half tuck. I do it, Loo in the mirror, and then untuck before I go out in public. It just feels contrived on me, although I love it on others. Maybe we need a Half Tuck Challenge!</p> <p>I did recently full tuck for Angie’s dress challenge and liked it. A key learning for me was I prefer low contrast- I was wearing a matching top and skirt, and felt the continuous line of the fabric didn’t emphasize my short waist and short height. I am still getting over the scars of the dark skirt suit/white blouse corporate uniform I wore in the 90s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild/page/2#post-2038716 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 01:45:40 +0000 Anonymous 2038716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The title would look dodgier in cursive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild/page/2#post-2038685 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 22:47:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2038685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol!

I have no problems with tucking things in, as that's how I grew up.

I have never liked the confining feeling of a full tuck but I do it for a more formal outfit on the rare occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038252 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 20:38:38 +0000 Bennett 2038252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do the #2 tuck frequently. My method is to fully tuck the whole front of the shirt, then pull up and artfully arrange till achieving the look I want. My beltline doesn't necessarily have to show. Photo #1 looks like she stopped in the middle of the process. Or probably what my semi- tuck looks like after using the restroom following one-too-many cocktails with dinner, not a care in the world!!!!</p> <p>I don't care how big or small you are, it looks silly to tuck a chunky sweater into your waistband.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the only time I would do a fully tucked top is if the two items were made of the same fabric, to make a fake jumpsuit or fake dress out of them. Or if a jacket or cardigan were staying on the whole time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038245 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 20:08:40 +0000 Sal 2038245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha maybe we need a semi tucking tutorial.</p> <p>Interesting to see what people do and don’t do - I do think there are so many small variables that make something work on one person and not the next. And to our own foibles - being tall means tops can be a little short which means they come untucked - but if they are long you can have too much fabric to deal with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038238 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 19:12:19 +0000 Style Fan 2038238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not know how to semi-tuck.&nbsp; Where did everyone learn this?&nbsp; When I do it I look like I forgot to finish tucking my shirt in.<br />I full tuck or no tuck.&nbsp; I really like the models' hair in #1 and #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038183 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 14:06:30 +0000 Bijou 2038183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 tucked is for me.

I like 3 and 5 and have done both (you can use fashion tape to stick a slippery top inside your bottoms)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038156 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 12:24:08 +0000 Janet 2038156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do 1 with a modification — not so high a waist, with the top sort of pulled out a bit to overlap the belt loop area. Otherwise, like Brooklyn said, it’s too much of a length difference between the tucked and untucked parts, and the super high waist is highlighted, which I will never do. Looks totally awkward on my body type. </p> <p>2 is what I do a lot. Even with t-shirts. A non-dramatic partial tuck that provides a little shape and eases the horizontal line created by waistband or shirt hem.</p> <p>No to the rest of them. When I’m thinner, I can maybe get away with a full tuck if the pant rise isn’t too high, but definitely not now. It emphasizes everything about my body that is holding onto extra weight, and current rises only emphasize that further. I can’t even semi-tuck with a lot of them; it just looks silly, like my shirt is tucked under my bra. </p> <p>I’ll never tuck a chunky sweater because it looks and feels awkward, but I don’t even wear chunky sweaters much anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038154 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 12:18:47 +0000 RobinF 2038154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None for me I'm afraid. I hate to full tuck and have never mastered the semi-tuck (can't get it to stay now matter what I do). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038146 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 11:28:13 +0000 Molly Mac 2038146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is the only look I would pass on. This has more to do with my dislike of chunky sweaters than the tucking, however. I see lots of tucking and semi tucking in my city and enjoy wearing the look as well. Interestingly enough, never on anyone under 30. Most women this age seem to be wearing cropped and bodycon tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038119 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 08:44:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 2038119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you. I would just look like my shirt half fell out in 1 and 2. I like 3 and 5 but feel insufficiently slim! And 4 looks like the jumper is too thick to tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038117 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 08:24:23 +0000 rachylou 2038117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really cannot master the semi tuck. 1 &amp; 2 are impossible dreams for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038109 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 07:02:39 +0000 bj1111 2038109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been known to tuck into my control top pantyhose or spanx or underpants in a pinch. Voila, no slippage. Does not work with chunky sweaters—just sayin’ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tucking-in-the-wild#post-2038108 Tue, 25 Jun 2019 06:59:34 +0000 Jane 2038108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear all of these as shown but I’m nodding on the silky ones needing a high waist to keep secure. I’m definitely a tucker.</p> <p>I love the colour of the blue jumper. </p>
