I was thinking about writing a post like this for a while considering that I rock the half-tuck (sometimes quarter tuck...is that a thing?) on an almost daily basis. However, it put a little fire under my hiney when I saw one of my favorite bloggers, Amanda from Advice From a Twenty Something, wrote basically a tell-all tutorial about tucking.
Rather than go for the full-on tuck that if you're not careful, can be reminiscent of a substitute teacher or a kid on their way to school seconds from untucking what their parent had just mercilessly tucked in.

The half-tuck is an elegant and chic way to add structure to an outfit with an oversize component. Whether it is an oversized chunky knit juxtaposed with a miniskirt, a sleeveless button-down with some skinny jeans, or a classic men's Hanes white T and some ever-present denim cut-offs.
How I've rocked the half-tuck semi-recently:

I am a firm believer in the half tuck! It's rare if I don't half tuck my shirt - so definitely a great option to switch up your look...in my opinion:)

Definitely! Untucked looks messy and fully tucked is just too put-together, a total happy medium :)

I don't know, half tuck doesn't look the greatest on me... I don't like accentuating my stomach!
ReplyDeleteTry a side-tuck! I think it draws the eye to the side and minimizes your stomach!
DeleteSuch a cute idea! Love these shots. <3
ReplyDeleteThanks doll!

I think I've actually tried this one on accident a few times, but it looks adorable when done purposefully! :) Great post!

Yes half-tucked is better than full-tucked. Looks more casually tucked :)
