It has been brought to my attention recently that tucking in shirts has come back in style, and it's here to stay. Until recently, a tucked in shirt was only something you saw on CEO's and southern baptist preachers. Now you can see it done by everyone from the Jonas Brothers to my friend Andrew J. Goodmann, who gave me the inspiration to put this information on the world wide web.
Tucking shirts in has become a trend in both men and women's clothing, but since I have not seen very many troublesome female tuckers I am focusing this blog on men's clothing.
There are many different kinds of "Tucking." Most of which are problematic:
1) 90's Tucking:
2) Business casual/going out of business casual tucking:
(This chart focuses more on wrinkles than tucking, but is a prime example of how the proper way to tuck in a shirt is overlooked.)
3) Young Republicans National Federation Tucking:
4) The Half-Tuck:
5) Front of T-Shirt tucking:
(This is one of the worst ways to tuck. It does much more harm than good. I feel like this kind of tucking is equivalent to burning fossil fuels for no good reason.)
6) Texan Tucking:
7) Polo Tucking:
All of these are examples of things you should never do. If you feel inclined to do any of these, you should probably leave your shirt un-tucked.
I think the main problem is people wearing shirts that are much too big for them which is demonstrated here:
Shirts have to fit properly to be allowed to be tucked in. Any other form of tucking is unacceptable.
Now that we have the rules established, you may be asking, "What originated the tradition of shirt tucking?"
