Title: T-shirt tucking
Post by: DGuller on July 14, 2012, 12:15:51 PM
When I came to US, one of the first words of wisdom imparted on me was:  wear your t-shirt tucked out.  I did, for a very short time.  However, it just felt wrong and stupid, and I felt like it made me look like a gangster wannabe.  Eventually I just said fuck it and tucked it in, because that felt natural and comfortable to me.

Now, 18 years later, something struck me that never struck me before.  Every single person I've seen on the street wears it tucked out.  Male, female, white, black, Hispanic, or Asian, regardless of age, all of them wear their t-shirts tucked out.  I very rarely got any kind of a ribbing for my tucked-in style, and not being the type to notice things, it never struck me how unusual my tucking style was.

This got me thinking:  why do people wear t-shirts like this?  It seems stupid to me.  You risk revealing your butt cleavage, catching the end of your t-shirt on something, looking overly sloppy, and for what?  Is there a functional advantage to not tucking your t-shirt in, or is it just considered to be such a severe fashion faux pas that no one even considers an alternative?

Makes you look less fat.  T-Shirts aren't formal wear, they are casual wear.  So you really shouldn't have to put much effort into wearing them.

Who knows. It's a more casual style, lets in more air flow, whatever. I assume you mean regular t-shirts and not undershirts.

Tucked out..WTF is that. You mean untucked I gather.

Untucked it's easy to carry a concealed weapon. ;)

untucked/ʌnˈtʌkt/
▶adjective with the edges or ends hanging loose; not tucked in.
'untucked' also found in these Oxford entries

As a more serious answer, I think it has to do with the design of the Tshirt.  Dress shirts have tails or whatever you call them to keep them from untucking.  Tshirts don't.  So the only way to prevent tshirts from untucking is to yank your pants up real high.  That's unequivocally dorky.

:huh: I've never had that problem with t-shirts, in fact it's my dress shirts that untuck occasionally.  T-shirts are generally long enough to go into jeans with some depth, so while some of it may untuck when you bend over and such, not enough will come out to get it untucked.  My pants always settle at the top of the hip bone level (when felt from the front), so I don't think they're yanked up that high either.

Before I met my wife, I always wore t-shirts tucked in.  She insisted that I wore them tucked out, and I complied.  Yes, that's how 99.99999% of people wear them in HK.  So I am with DG.  My natural inclination is to tuck them in.

Tucking in t-shirts went out with mullets, acid washed jeans, and Slippery When Wet.

Unless you're 140 pounds, and you need as much padding as possible to keep your pants on.

Tucking in your t-shirt is a fashion crime.  Just buy one that fits properly and you won't even need to tuck it in.
Title: Re: T-shirt tucking
Post by: Berkut on July 14, 2012, 11:28:24 PM
The T-shirt is by definition the most casual of wear.

Tucking it in is rejecting its basic function, and makes you look like a tool.

Don't do it. Don't be a tool.

Sorry, but yeah. I agree. There are even dress shirts designed to not be tucked in. I have a couple of those and I wear them to work once in a while. Almost all dress shirts need to be tucked though.

But not in that billowy puffed out at the waist way. Get a fitted shirt and don't show your crew neck underneath unless you're a Marine.

But here is the thing:  I'm tucking it in because it's more comfortable that way.  I'm not doing it because I want to dress up while wearing a t-shirt, I'm doing it because to me it makes way more sense from a practical perspective.  Therefore, I don't see this in the same league as wearing socks with sandals, because there you're obviously directly contradicting the very purpose of sandals.

Then don't wear clothes that are not meant to be tucked in, if in fact you want to wear only clothes meant to be tucked in "for practical reasons".

I think it says something about you that you find anything tucked in "more comfortable" than untucked. In fact, it is probably a good idea to go ahead and tuck in your pocketed t-shirts, because it is an effective way to communicate your personality to the world without the uncomfortable and often awkward need for actual spoken communication. Especially with girls.

Maybe get a pocket protector for your pens while you are at it... :P

Who puts a wallet in their shirt pocket ?  :hmm:

Mine sits in my back pocket secured by a chain that dips just below my knee, up the front of my leg and attached to the first belt loop to the right of my belt buckle.

Actually, some of my best white tees have a breast pocket.  Rawlings, I believe.

I only wear untucked, but even most regular "tall" sizes are too short to avoid "plumber's crack".  Though I've found that sometimes Champs Sports or Foot Locker have really long tall sizes...though for some reason, usually only the cities/regions known for gang activity. :hmm:

I quit carrying a wallet a couple of years ago.  Now I carry 8-10 cards wrapped with one of my daughters' hair bands and any cash is wadded in in the pocket.

The front pocket of my pants to be specific.

You fashion Nazis broke me.  Yesterday I wore the t-shirt untucked.  It felt kind of weird feeling sweat beading up on my back, rather than be absorbed by the t-shirt right away.  It did feel a little cooler, though (temperature-wise, of course).  I even got a lot of tongue action and some tail from the girl in my friend's house. :w00t: She looked like a dog, but I'll take it.
