Style Hack: The Front Tuck

February 18, 2017

I hate tucking in my shirt. Despite being raised in a “tuck in our shit” house and preferring the polished look over the sloppiness of the untuck situation, I find it way too cumbersome and annoying. It never stays tucked in. It’s hard to keep it looking neat. It highlights my waist, which can be slimming but can also be unflattering on fat days, and you constantly have to monitor it and keep tucking and re-tucking. That’s why I’m a huge fan of the front tuck. It’s like the best of both worlds. It highlights the waist in the most flattering way while giving you extra booty coverage and balancing out the hips. It isn’t supposed to be perfect but it’s much easier to re-tuck. And let’s face it, the back is always the half that comes un-tucked and is the most awkward to re-tuck in public, so why even bother? The front tuck adds just enough polish without the annoyances of the full tuck.
