tucking tshirts in sucks

^^ you'd only ever think it actually looked good if you were really well-muscled, and then everyone would just think you were trying to show off your muscles -- it's no-win, yes

yeah i know abt shirts that are meant to be untucked, was just talking abt these guys, and how many of them don't know about the different btwn shirts that are meant to be untucked and those that aren't. i appreciate a good not-meant-to-be-tucked cuban shirt or cowboy shirt or etc etc for sure - and it's awful when guys tuck these in!

i accidentally went to a suburban grocery store yesterday

I just bought a bunch of St3ven Al4n shirts and they're perfect for tucking in. I'm trying to go for a more adult (but not toolish) look these days. :<

They're smartly cut collared shirts that aren't sloppy loose or Euro-trashy tight. It's everything I've been looking for.

exactly. the cuts are super. and the prints. i have this awesome 80s purple thing, it's rawr.

hahaha ladies and gentlemen, burt_stanton slides gracefully from bitching about Park Slope yuppies and Ivy Leaguers to raving about $150 shirts

There's the end result. The jeans are tapered, so I'm going for that 1991 Slacker look.

if you have a spare tire this is usually a bad idea, unless you want to wear your pants around your belly button, which sometimes doesnt look that bad

Nah, I have a skinny, compact frame but I guess it looks like I'm fat thanks to the lighting there.

it's pretty challenging to successfully tuck your shirt into pants that have a low rise -- long shirts bunch uncomfortably and short shirts come untucked as soon as you move. pretty sure you should be wearing your pants high up on your hips or at your natural waist for a secure tuck

That's kinda why I said it works better with casual shirts -- low rises tend to mean either a halfway "Alabama tuck" or a kind of rodeo-dude / Matt McConnaughey type of thing (note: I know actual rodeo guys tuck in medium-high and all but you probably know what I mean here)
