Tucking tops in. Do you?

[chaosisawayoflife]

OK, this probably sounds silly, but I always see people looking great with tops tucked into bottoms, but I can't do it. I've tried but I just feel ridiculous. Why is this? Am I too short? Or too fat? Or wearing the wrong clothes? Or just not used to it? I'm 5'3 and size 10-12 with a little bit of post partum tummy and muffin top, but not too bad.

I'm the same as you only taller and fatter 5'7 and a 12 14 bit, of a muffin but not much really all things considered. I can't seem to pull it off either. Come to think of it I still look like a sack of shit with my top out

I tuck tops in. I'm 5'7" and a size 12. Maybe you just think you look ridiculous but actually look completely fine!

Doesn't it depend on body shape? If you have a really high waist it can make your top look squished and disproportionate.

If you have very short legs then tucking in the top can make them look a little longer. You have to decide where the best waist is for you, then make your clothes confirm to this.

(I spend way too much time watching what not to wear)

I'm the same.
I'm a size 12, , 5'5 but long body - bit of a muffin top.
I'm a 32F bra size so think that adds to the feeling of sackness because my boobs are too big so tops don't seem to sit smoothly and then get all untucked around my muffin top...

Never...not got the model figure for that :)

have you got boobs? i have boobs and a smallish waist and i can't get tops to tuck in without puffing out around my middle... i guess they're maybe not fitted enough because generally stuff isn't made in my proportions (except by bravissimo / pepperberry).

ahhhh I am also large of bosom ... 32F ish perhaps that is the problem. What are your wangers like chaos?

I do tuck in - maybe I look strange as I have big boobs but I like it for work. I don't tuck in to low rise trousers as you have to be a stick to pull that off, but if you don't tuck in then you can't wear anything high rise really - and I love high rise skirts and trousers.

I have a short body but tuck into low cut jeans so makes me look less bodily challenged!

I'm not a stick by the way!

I haven't tucked tops in since 1980s.

I can't tuck in either. My body is too long and it looks ridiculous.

I actually tried tucking something in the other day for the first time since about 1990. It looked wrong. I hadn't realised how most of my skirts/jeans don't actually fit me round the waist. In my defence most of my things aren't made to!

I do sometimes but more often I wear a clingy vest top and tuck the over top underneath the bottom of that so its a bit longer - god does that make any sense at all?

I do that too Mrs CB, or I tuck it under my belt!!

Hmm, not particularly large of nork, b-c cup. I think I need to experiment more.

Oooh belts are a problem, if I have a slim fitting top outside of jeans when wearing a belt it adds about 4 inches to the look of my waist but if I tuck in I look slimmer but somehow fatter too

I do in high waisted stuff - pencil skirt at work. I would with some casual tops if I could find the holy grail of jeans - high rise skinny.
