| I like a half tuck esp with a nice belt peeking out. If you have a good waistline it’s much more flattering than billowy fabric. |

| That accidental tuck has been going on for 11 years, when's it going to stop? I always thought it looks like you just rushed out of the bathroom without looking and adjusting your clothing. Very sloppy and embarrassing looking. |

I have been considering posting about this!
The front tuck/back untuck was bad enough. Now the trend is tucking on one side and untucking on the other and it looks absolutely ridiculous. I’m embarrassed for these girls, tbh. |

| I started doing the front only tuck and now I can’t stop. |

| If I am wearing jean and a tshirt I full tuck or half tuck. No tuck looks frumpalicious. |

It's for Tan France. A designer who popularized the look. Wait til you learn about German chocolate cakes. |

Entirely dependent on the shirt and the pants. I generally prefer to tuck my shirts all the way in -- I think it's the best way to highlight my waist and creates a better shape for me. But I have some jeans with a "boyfriend" fit and they only look good with a half tuck. Since the waist of the jeans is lower than my true waist, tucking the whole thing in looks weird. But leaving it totally untucked just looks baggy. A partial tuck creates a nice shape that is casual without being totally shapeless.
I recently bought some chinos that I thought might fit this way and tried to do a half tuck with them and immediately realized it look idiotic. They hit right at my true waist and need to either have a full tuck or non at all. They are fitted enough that no tuck looks okay. They look best with a full tuck. I think often people do the half tuck with clothes that don't work because it's "in" and that's why a lot of people hate it. It only looks good in specific situations. |

Same. No regrets, honestly. |

I played competitive sports — soccer and women’s hockey — and the half tuck meant that you were slightly cocky but owned your skill. Think of Wayne Gretsky. |

Being petite I sort of have to. My only other option is wearing shorter shirts. But nobody wants to see my skin at the waistline. Nobody.
If I wear longer shirts it makes me look HUGE and hides my shape. Shorter shirts impossible. So I go with the medium to long shirts with a small tuck. Sometimes I do a whole tuck. |

So I don’t do the half tuck with the button down. But I will do a front tuck on a boxy sweater or flowy top when I want to show some of my waist. |

It’s not that you are old - I asked my teenage daughter about the half tuck and she rolled her eyes and stomped off

| I have huge boobs and a tiny waist. Full tuck makes me look too boobilicious. Untuck looks too sloppy. Half tuck equals perfection |
