When will people stop tucking their tops in at the front of jeans etc

[PuppyMonkey]

I thought this would be one of those things that wouldn’t last long because people would realise how stupid it looks, but it showing no signs of stopping. Like the woman in this photo. I can’t be the only one who thinks this half tucking thing looks really, really silly. Can I?

When:

• they move to a warmer place
• the autumn has gone
• the winter has gone
• they stop liking it
• they have repaired the buttons of the bottom of their shirt
• they finally admit it is too small/ too large

She looks lovely

I agree. Whenever I see people with this half-tuck look I think it nearly always makes someone look bigger than they are around the tummy. Denim is a bulky material, and so jeans with a shirt tucked in at the front make most people look like they have more of a belly than they actually do.

And what’s with all the joyless posts on this thread saying this is a ridiculous thing to post about, and how frivolous anyone is to have an opinion on this?! Personally I really enjoy having a brain that can think about a huge variety of things, often all at once. And if I choose to spend 1% of my brain power and 2 mins of my day thinking about how shirts look tucked into jeans, I’m very comfortable with that.

YABU

The only place I wish they’d stop doing it is on websites where they’re trying to sell the top in question. I don’t wear my tops like that and want to see the length of the top. But half the time there isn’t an “untucked” photo.

Other than that, I don’t care. It doesn’t suit me, but if people think it fits with their style then go for it.

I French tuck frequently. I've lost weight and have a waist again - damn right I'm showing it off! T-shirts, shirts, thin jumpers - they all get a little half-tuck. I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks; I think I look better that way.

Although that picture is quite an extreme tuck imo (and those jeans are vile).

I like it on other people but it’s ridiculous on me. I realised recently that all my jeans and trousers are high waisted now. I’m pretty slim but they emphasise my stomach and make me look like Simon cowell. So I’ve just ordered some low cut jeans from Levi to see if they look better

I do it and it looks better. It gives more shape and I have a flat stomach so don't need to be hiding it underneath a baggy shirt.

I like it and will carry on doing it, I think it just gives a bit of waist definition, lengthen legs and also stops jumpers etc falling to an unflattering hip level. It’s maybe down to body shapes but I think it suits me and I don’t find it a faff at all.

I think it looks chic

I'm with you OP! My friend has recently started doing this and I think it looks ridiculous! She looks half dressed to me and she is not slim by any means. It's just my opinion, but all those saying it makes people look slimmer, I think that's quite deluded! Unless you have a totally flat stomach, all the French Tuck style does is draw attention to that area! You may as well wear a crop top and have done with it, it gives no "shape" at all to my mind!
I have lost a huge amount of weight in the last 12 years, (8 stones) (by steadily and slowly, just by reducing snacks and portion sizes). I can now wear much shorter, more fitted tops than I used to, but they still cover my stomach. Which I think looks more slimming and stylish than that tuck!

Awww op I think it looks cute!!!
I don’t have a problem with it but don’t do it myself

I'm more puzzled by the long history of the distressed or ripped jeans. I don't care but I don't understand it.

Well, it's grunge/punk. It's supposed to look faded, well used, alternative, very much not neat and pressed and office-like. It's an aesthetic.

@Pliudev , it was fashionable in the late 1980s. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.

I like it; I do it. I’ve got a good figure and I like to show my waist in most outfits because I’m short and can look like a blob otherwise. I like belts as an accessory too, rather than just functional. A contrast colour or design can elevate an outfit.

I don’t like it so i don’t do it, I think it mostly looks a bit silly. If I’m tucking something in I tuck it all the way around.

My God, that's a tuck I'd climb like a tree.

Literally just saw Eva Longoria on BBC1 just now and she had the tucked in top. Looks naff, even on her.

On the other hand, saw a lady on tv a few days back, silk shirt tucked into her jeans all the way round and it stood out, casual, smart and not a sheep.

This looks really nice actually.

It looks much better than letting your shirt or jumper hang off your boobs like a sack. French tuck all the way for me. It feels so much more put together than just letting fabric/knitwear just ‘hang’ like a shapeless mess.

Don't do it then.

I think it looks good, unless it's a really long oversized shirt.

I agree with you op, it looks awful.

I humph each time I see this.
Have only seen it on telly though, never irl.
Mind you I live in a world of 50/50 OAPs and horsey women so maybe not that representative of fashion in general.
