Thanks for asking about this! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-906954 Sat, 13 Apr 2013 17:12:46 +0000 Day Vies 906954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Becase of my high waist a semi tuck is almost always on a lower rise jean -- otherwise I look ridiculous. I think it would look fine on you. The lower rise will provide more "room" for your torso and visually extend it anyway. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905906 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:22:49 +0000 Deborah 905906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG thanks so much!

I wear low-rise almost exclusively for denim, and semi-tuck a LOT. I'll also semi-tuck into my mid-rise trousers. My WIWs show both in action if you need more visuals https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905501 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:41:07 +0000 catgirl 905501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am so into semi-tucking. &nbsp;It's so much better for my figure than a real tuck or a straight line across my mid-section. &nbsp;Here's an example with a sweater:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-citron-formula">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....on-formula</a><br /><br />A sloppy tuck with button down and - eek! - longer hair:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cobalt-skinnies-with-half-tuck">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-half-tuck</a><br /><br />And a drapey top with a belt:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-essence-red-skinnies-for-kate-and-black-with-demi-tuck">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....h-demi-tuc</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905486 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 22:18:29 +0000 Deborah 905486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much ladies. Appreciate your input. I'm just deciding on which size I am keeping a d then I will give it a go and post some pics. </p> <p>Shannon, trust me there is plenty to hide:) and Elle:) these pants seem to "contain" my muffin top ha ha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905435 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:10:40 +0000 sarah 905435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Suz said. I semi-tuck and "faux" semi-tuck with low- and mid-rise jeans. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905332 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:59:58 +0000 ElleH 905332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I semi tuck low rise pants. I need to to hide muffin. I am very thin these days but still have muffin. It also helps to lengthen the leg, which is shorter with a low rise pant.&nbsp;I am envious that you don't have any muffin:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905327 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:54:27 +0000 Diana 905327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually almost always do the semi-tuck into lower rise pants, like BF jeans.&nbsp; (on things with higher rises, I do Angie's faux-semi-tuck into the belt because that's lower).&nbsp; I find that a semi-tuck into higher rise pants looks weird because the untucked and tucked parts have too large of a length difference.&nbsp; Also, I'm short waisted already and visible waist on high waisted pants makes it worse.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905320 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:49:09 +0000 jayne 905320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would say I am almost required to semi-false-tuck in my style now! &nbsp;And it works for me much better with low rise pants. &nbsp;let's see some attempts Deborah https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905093 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:08:58 +0000 Suz 905093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the faux tuck like Angie talks about. But I also faux tuck simply by draping the front a bit up over the belt, and if that doesn't work, I semi tuck. And I do it with low and mid-rise. Never tried it with higher rise pants. I don't think I would like that very much.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905053 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:24:28 +0000 Angie 905053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't semi tuck anything - I FAUX tuck with a top that as a welt over a belt. Does that make sense, Debs? And lower rises are actually the only way to go for me since that is what I wear most frequently. Although midrise works well too. Shannon manages that perfectly :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905026 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:46:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 905026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have fallen in love with the semi tuck Deb - it can hide all sorts of things (not that you need to hide anything).<br /><br />As the others here have pointed out, semi tucking into low or mid rise works perfectly. Tuck away! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-905021 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:42:01 +0000 texstyle 905021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also semi-tuck or full tuck all the time in lower rise jeans and I feel like it helps define the waist and elongates the torso. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-904975 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:48:09 +0000 Janet 904975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I semi tuck all the time into mid-to-low rise pants! I often do this to help show/define my waist a bit while also trying to give the illusion that my short torso is a little longer. I don't have belly issues (just thigh ones LOL) but I would think a semi-tuck would be a nice trick for disguising any concerns there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-904969 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:38:03 +0000 annaj 904969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I semi tuck in low rise pants. I only tuck a minimal amount at the front so that there is quite a lot of blousing over the waistband of the pants. I think it's about proportions. I couldn't semi tuck in high rise pants - it wouldn't look right for me! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-904965 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:33:35 +0000 carolbee 904965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, come on Deborah, we need a photo!! lol.&nbsp;Sorry, I know you have a lot going on at the moment, can't do adice as I have not tucked, semi or otherwise for years. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-904964 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:31:14 +0000 Anonymous 904964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I semi-tuck all the time into a lower rise pant.

Funny how things come around again and again.&nbsp; I can't imagine semi tucking with them.<br /><br />I was watching a video of Shania Twain the other day and she's wearing a denim cropped vest and very high rise jeans.&nbsp; She'd be right on trend now, and that video is&nbsp; almost 20 years old (1995).<br /><br />Here it is in case you want to see who I'm talking about.<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2k-gv6xNE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N2k-gv6xNE</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-904918 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:31:03 +0000 Agnes 904918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't know if others like it but I quite often semi tuck in my low rise pants. I never fully tuck because I don't have much of a waist. But I like the semi tuck and half tuck too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tutor-me-on-the-semi-tuck#post-904914 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:24:02 +0000 Deborah 904914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Ladies,<br /><br />I bought a lovely pair of slim straight leg pants that have been a wardrobe hole in my (mostly) work capsule for quite some time. &nbsp;The ones I have are summer weight, the new ones more transeasonal, and a dressier fabrication whereas the old ones are really a very casual fabric and tend to look a bit 'tired' by the end of the day.<br /><br />Anyway.. to the point... they are a low rise, (for me, but maybe a mid rise is more accurate)&nbsp;very comfortable and smooth over the tummy, no tummy flopping over the waist band, but my question is this,&nbsp;<b><i>is it ok to semi tuck into a lower rise pant?<br /><br /></i></b><i></i>I *think* it looks alright, but I notice in the majority of pictures in the blogosphere that we seem to semi tuck into a higher rise pant.<br /><b><i><br /></i></b><i></i>This may be a silly question, but are there any rules that I am not aware of? &nbsp;I trust you wise ones can enlighten me:)<br /><i></i><br /><i></i>Apologies, there is no photo but I just haven't had time to take photos of them yet.<br /><b><i><br /></i></b><i></i>Thank you<br /><b><i>xxx Deborah</i></b>
