While tucking (or not tucking) is certainly a matter of personal preference, I say there are some people that are seriously in need of a good tuck.   |

I hate to tuck. It doesn’t matter my weight. I spend all day tucking back in, can’t raise my arms, etc. I prefer fitted and untucked. I have a large chest and broad shoulders. Nothing flowy or I look huge. Im not skinny, but I do have a relatively flat stomach so my tops need to be fitted to look good.

I used to when I was thin and it looked good. Now I prefer not to tuck and I’m very fussy about the exact flow of the top-not too loose, not too tight. I know the half tuck is a trend but honestly I don’t get it. I'm broad shouldered, larger chested, and small waisted. The half tuck is a nice option if I don't want to look like a MAC truck in anything that isn't completely fitted. |

20-30 years ago I always tucked, now I don't.

I'm afraid to answer until I understand what tuck means to our UK peas lainey I'm looking at you. Unless lainey knows differently I think it’s just the rhyming that’s leading things astray  |

Gotcha @gar. I'm not a tucker. Short, short-waisted, broad shouldered, busty la rue, all add up to no tuck.

I don’t tuck and I usually don’t buy flowy tops. I like more fitted tops because they definitely define my shape. I’ve recently lost quite a bit of weight and every time I wear a more fitted top, I get lots of comments from people at school. I can tell I look better in them than the more loose clothing I sometimes still wear.

I don't tuck often...I feel it just emphasizes areas I would rather not emphasize, but I'm also not skinny. I did find this YouTube video helpful and follow some of the tips when I do decide to tuck. How to Tuck & Tie Your ShirtsThank you! Very helpful. |

I never tuck but my tops are not long. I mostly wear a jacket to work with my blouses.

I usually tuck. Most tops lately aren't long enough to tuck nicely. Really depends on top.

I always think tucking gives a little waist. A loose tuck. With the back out.

Boobs prevent neat tucking. I haven't really tucked since I wore suits to work. Also, I am too fat now to tuck. Yoga pants are my friend and they don't like to have things tucked in.

I seriously I misread your title.  Well my mind went directly to what was being “tucked” and it wasn’t shirts!  |

I do both. For work, with my trousers, skinny trousers, and skirts, I tuck. With jeans, I don't tuck. I'm big busted with broad shoulders, small waist, bit of a tummy, big hips and butt. For me, if I don't tuck my work clothes, I look like a box because finding tailored button up blouses that button, or shells that don't pull at the bust, means they don't at all show that I have a waist if I leave them untucked. I don't tend to wear flowy blouses because the girls make them balloon out so I look much bigger than I am (and I'm not thin, so I don't need the help, thankyouverymuch). If I do wear a flowier top, I like ones cut on the bias so they show my shape. I'm at my normal right now, a bit chunky, not thin, not at my heaviest; but at both of those, for me, it's about the silhouette and how I feel. So, if I'm bloated and not digging my belly, I'll still tuck because that's preferable to the box. For me.

I don't think I have tucked a shirt in for at least 20 years. I might try the half-tucked look if a shirt that I had would look good that way, but I am not really sure how to wear that look. Seems like it would look best on people with a flat stomach, which I do not have. I dress fairly casual so none of my shirts are meant to be tucked.

I don't tuck unless I'm wearing a skirt and a blouse- which is almost never. I always buy fitted shirts- never anything flowy or baggy- and I make sure they are short. I'm short-waisted and I have to be careful of looking dumpy- even though I'm not overweight. I do longer ones only if I'm wearing leggings.

How to Tuck & Tie Your ShirtsThank you! Very helpful. this video WAS very helpful! I may actually try some of those. But, a random thing: was anyone else really annoyed by the way she pronounced the word 'button' without actually enunciating the 'T' sound, or was it just me?!?  |

I've noticed that before, often with written. I don't know if it is an accent or something else. |

For me it depends on the top in question.

I can't remember the last time I wore a shirt. With bigger boobs I find that they gape at the chest or if I buy bigger to stop that, they're too voluminous and I think I'd be irritated by the bulk of fabric down the front of my jeans.

I seriously I misread your title. Well my mind went directly to what was being “tucked” and it wasn’t shirts! I clearly wasn't thinking when I originally posted. I only had shirts on my mind, honest.  cmpeter, thank you for that video. I haven't watched it yet, but will this evening. However, I'm a bit skeptical of how much it will apply to me because I'm much chunkier than she is. We'll see. Also, back 15-20 years ago when I did tuck in most of the time, tops seemed longer and pants were just starting to go low-rise. Low-rise pants definitely are a game changer on tops staying put when tucked. What prompted this question is that I had received an on-line clothing order. Some of the tops were too flow-y and need to be returned. I did keep 2, but they need to be tucked in or worn with a jacket/cardigan to reign them in. I don't do well with layers because I get too warm, so I won't be able to wear them until next winter. Even with the current cold spell, I get too warm with layers. |
