How to Keep Your Shirt Tucked in All Day
1 – Length
Make sure to buy a dress shirt that has at least 3 inches of fabric that goes below the belt line.
2 – Gig line
Pay attention to the gig line. It is the imaginary line formed when your shirt placket, belt buckle, and the front seam of your trousers are all aligned.
3 – Excess fabric
Get rid of excess fabric in and around the waist area. Get your shirt tailored or buy a custom shirt that doesn’t have a bunch of excess fabric in and around your waist.
4 – Shirt stays
They are elastic bands with attachments on each end that connect to your dress shirt on one end to the top of your socks on the other.
How to Tuck Your Shirt
Method 1 – Normal
Tuck your shirt into your pants the usual way.
Method 2 – Military tuck
This is the military tuck. Start with your trousers unbuttoned. Take the excess fabric at your sides, and pinch it between your thumb and index finger. Use your thumb to fold the excess fabric behind itself. Continue to adjust, pushing more fabric into the fold until you are satisfied. Button your trousers and make final adjustments. This is a great tucking method if you have a lot of excess fabric around the middle.
Method 3 – Underwear tuck
Take your undershirt and tuck it into your underwear. Next, tuck your dress shirt under your underwear and into your trousers. This method helps the undershirt from pulling at your dress shirt and untucking it.
