Tucked Vs Untucked Shirts | 3 Rules On Tucking In Your Shirt | When To Tuck Your Dress Shirt

About this video

Centeno provides three guidelines for determining when to tuck in a shirt: examining whether the shirt style is designed to be tucked, assessing the shirt’s length and bottom design, and considering the formality level of the event. He argues that tucking is generally more formal and flattering, though certain casual shirt styles and hot-weather garments are intended to be worn untucked.

Key takeaways

• Centeno categorizes shirt types by their intended wear—dress shirts, work shirts, and undershirts should be tucked, while polos, Hawaiian shirts, t-shirts, and guayaberas are designed to be untucked
• Centeno recommends checking shirt length by raising your hands; if midriff shows above the trousers, the shirt is too short to wear untucked, and if it covers your backside, it should be tucked
• Centeno argues that tucking is more formal than leaving untucked, with exceptions for hot-weather events and casual settings, and notes that tucking generally creates a slimmer appearance
