Tucked, Half-Tucked or Out: What a Shirt Tuck Does to an Outfit

Tuck a shirt in, leave it out or split the difference: the choice moves the line where the eye decides the trousers begin. This piece shows how an untucked hem, a full tuck and a half-tuck change an outfit's proportion, with an interactive flat illustration you can adjust by tuck, rise and hem length.

It also covers when each version works, how to do a half-tuck without it looking accidental, and what to look for in a shirt that tucks well, using only clothes and pieces you may already own.
