That semi-tucked in t-shirt thing that fashionable women do

[TheComplexitiesofBaking]

Can anyone explain the secret? All my experiments have came to naught.

Google French Tuck - it’s become a phenomenon thanks to Queer Eye.

Here you go 😁

I do it with lots of tops. Just tuck the front in, leave the rest loose, it's pretty easy. What isn't working for you?

Argh! I look the same as Teresa trying to be stylish!

I've just Googled it and I realise that I'm already doing a "reserve" French tuck, i.e. tucking in the back of a top but letting the front hang looser to cover up my middle-aged tummy that's never been completely firm since I had children.

I'm officially declaring the "reverse French Tuck" a new trend!

I did this the other day with an oversized t shirt in a high waist skirt, I thought I'd nailed it and then my mother commented that she'd buy me one that tucked in "properly" if I wanted as I looked a touch scruffy

Makes me look like a fat overstuffed sausage. Brenda Bratwurst. Not a good style for me!

I Do this and like it mostly. sometimes I stray into the fifth former waiting to see the head look.

There's a million tutorials on Pinterest.

I'm not sure it works so well with skirts (happy to be proved wrong though, it just doesn't feel right on me). Jeans or trousers better, and mid rise, not the ultra high waisted kind.

Yep, definitely best with jeans /trousers IMO.

Ohh this is different to the tuck one half of your shirt front in and leave the other side hanging look with is so beloved of trendy stylish French Vogue women.

It just looks like you've been for a pee and been too hasty re-tucking yourself

I like that colour on TM. I can do the French tuck, it needs to be with a cotton shirt to work really well, but I pulled it off yesterday with a white Uniqlo t-shirt. You just hitch in one side slightly off-centre.

I'm a chubster. French tuck looks ridiculous on me.

Tan gives everyone the French tuck treatment in Queer Eye. It's his signature style tip and after watching all series of it, it did become a bit boring. But saying that I'd say we'd have been in a state of shock if he didn't do it

I’m high waisted and for some reason this really works for me. I gives my waist more definition and kind of lowers the waist.

Oh I didn't know this was a thing.
I wear jeans and tshirts for work and have started to tuck the front only in, I find it quite flattering, rather than having a longish tshirt hanging down.
I'm a robust 14

I think it looks very good I’m very thin people. I am not one of those people.

I’m a size 14 hourglass and since starting the French tuck several people have asked if I have lost weight.

I bloody haven’t but it’s the trick of the eye by drawing the eyes to your waist. Leaving something untucked just creates more fabric and look bigger

Sometimes the best way is to tuck in just the section above your belt buckle and leave all the rest flowing. Practice where is best on you, but know that you'll need to re-iron all the failed attempts.

I wore a shirt and jeans the other day and had French tucked, about to walk into pub and husband pulled my shirt out saying your shirts half tucked in 🙄

I love Queer Eye a lot but the French tuck was a thing long before Tan started doing it and I'm sure it was a French tuck because it was popular with French women not because Tan's surname is French. Another example of women doing something for years but the rest of the world only noticing when a man comes along and does it.

(Still love you Tan.)

I like it btw. It's a bit like pushing sleeves up or a turning up jeans. Looks more put together for some reason.

It's all about a slight shift in proportion to make a garment more flattering.
