It is supposed to look nonchalant so I guess that’s a good thing then!

I want to look like I’ve just ‘thrown it on’ but still cool. Hard to do.

Definitely tuck, it makes the outfit look more put together, somehow.

Blueandredandblue · 30/07/2019 17:24

It looks great on you.

(I'm so impressed by how clean your house is, I've given up on mine until September)

I think it looks as though you've accidentally caught your top in your jeans after going to the loo, sorry.

@WingBingo ... I know what a French tuck is plus I do it , plus it looks fab and doesn't look like you have your top stuck in your knickers .. some people must live under a style rock 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

DariaMorgendorffer · 30/07/2019 17:31

Tuck looks fab.

WingBingo · 30/07/2019 17:36

@Blueandredandblue it must be a good angle.

Plus there’s Lego everywhere but you can’t see it Grin

I’m happy staying under my style rock if this is what passes as trendy these days. Grin

😂😂 it's a classic ... nothing new about it . I've been doing this for 30 years 🤷‍♀️😂

YellowsAndPinks · 30/07/2019 19:07

I really like it with the tuck looks much more stylish than just out.

swissmilk · 30/07/2019 19:26

I french tuck, I think it works well if you have big boobs but flat stomach, otherwise your top half can look massive.

SellFridges · 30/07/2019 19:28

I French Tuck. Or tuck my top in a bit at the front to make it clear that the rest of me is not quite so large as my 34G’s.

PuppyMonkey · 30/07/2019 19:42

A classic ha ha. Yeah course it is.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 30/07/2019 19:46

I've been Tucking since I was at university, nearly 30 years ago. So, yeah, I'd say it's a fairly 'classic' look.

SaxxedtotheMax · 30/07/2019 19:47

No to the tuck.

I'm sorry. It's half hearted.

You are either in or out in my book.

NO inbetween.

It would be like making a pair of nice shoes into mules, by treading the backs down.

Wear it properly. Neatly & freshly pressed.

Thank you.

me too - it says 'look I do have a waist' Grin

WingBingo · 30/07/2019 21:36

Yes that’s it - I have a thick waist so a tuck hides it a little. My stomach is fairly flat but I don’t have much definition around my waist.

I like your green chairs. Shirt is good too!

azulmariposa · 31/07/2019 07:16

My Nan used to make shirts, she always said that if the bottom is curved then it's made for tucking in, straight then leave it out.

I think the untucked looks better, personally I wouldn't have just the front tucked as it would emphasise my tum!

WingBingo · 31/07/2019 12:33

Here is today’s efforts with the tuck.

Tuck looks like a made up word now.

You need more of a tuck, it has to be more definitively done, so it’s clear that’s it’s not an accident but a deliberate half tuck. Can’t get away with half arsedness here, it has to be a statement.

BlueMoonAndRedNose · 31/07/2019 12:51

I love your t'shirt wing; can I ask where it's from?
