Secret to Keep Your Shirt Tucked In
If you have to wear a dress shirt to the office everyday, then you know how pervasive this issue. For many of us we have worn dress shirts when we are attending classier events, such as parties and dances. For the first five minutes, you feel good knowing your shirt is tucked in. You walk out of the house confident to go meet your date. After driving over to your date's house, you go and open her door as every gentleman should. You sit back in your seat in the car and immediately have to set about stuffing your shirt back inside your underwear. Let's be honest, it just looks to everyone else like your adjusting your junk! This problem is easily avoided.
One method that is completely free is called the Military Tuck. It is very easy, all you have to do is pinch the excess fabric with your thumb and tuck it in. This will help if you have a manageable amount of fabric to work with.
If you're looking to buy dress clothes, get the right fit and size for your body. This is the easiest thing you can do for yourself to upgrade your style. By choosing a shirt that is slim, you will save yourself so much hassle. Make sure you get a shirt that is long enough. It will decrease the chance of it coming untucked. Your shirt should end a few inches below your beltline to a few inches above the bottom of your bottom!
Avoid pants that ride low. It will be that much easier for your shirt to come untucked during the day. Those pants just are not conducive to looking fresh all day. Instead, make sure pants fall properly onto your hips. Because of how your body flows, this will help keep your shirt tucked into your trousers.
Now ignore everything I have said up until this point. This next idea will make the largest difference in your dress shirt game. These are shirt stays. They are absolute game-changers and it is a shame more people don't know about them! They are made of an elastic material and will attach to your shirt and dress socks. This keeps tension on your shirt, therefore forcing it to stay tucked in. I find that they take some getting used to. On the day of my prom, I wore them and found that I had forgotten about them by dinner time. This secret will keep you looking fresh all day long. I recommend getting a pair from KK & Jay. Although, if you're looking for a cheaper pair, Amazon offers a good deal. I used this pair for awhile and found them to work great! Click on the pictures!
