How to tuck your shirt into your pants ?

Choosing the right trousers and shirt for women

As you might expect, before learning how to tuck in your shirt properly, it’s essential to wear trendy, high-quality pieces to achieve a stylish look. Choose timeless essentials to create great outfits, such as a printed shirt, a women’s denim shirt, or a plain women’s shirt from Le Temps des Cerises.

To highlight your figure, you also need to pay attention to your body shape. Choose jeans and shirts that are adapted to your morphology. Your shirt should be neither too loose nor too tight to ensure comfort while flattering your silhouette.
For example, if you have a larger bust, opt for looser shirts and avoid buttoning them all the way up. Leave two buttons open so you feel comfortable. You can also wear a camisole underneath if needed.

Tucking your shirt for a casual look

For a casual look, tuck only the front of the shirt into your trousers and choose a relaxed fit. Puffy and oversized shirts are very trendy. If, like many, you love this style, here’s a simple tip to avoid an uncomfortable bulge while maintaining a fluid silhouette. This method works with all types of trousers.

For a successful casual tuck, start by grabbing the hem of the shirt at the front and fold it inward once.
Then continue folding the shirt several times inward, making sure the fold stays flat.
Once you reach the level of your waist, gently tuck the folded band into your waistband without letting it unravel.
Lift your arms slightly to check that the shirt stays in place.

Tucking your shirt for a formal look

There are many techniques to tuck your shirt neatly into your trousers. The military tuck is one of the most effective methods to keep your shirt perfectly in place all day.

Put on your shirt and make sure it fits well at the shoulders and falls naturally without creating excess creases.
Before tucking it in, check that it is fully buttoned (up to the collar if needed) and that the seams are straight.
Grab the excess fabric at the back, on each side of your waist. Pull this fabric forward to create two vertical folds.
Once the folds are tight and smooth, tuck the shirt firmly into your trousers, making sure it lies flat at the front and back. Adjust the folds so they align neatly.
Gently pull on the shirt to ensure it is smooth but not too tight. Move around slightly to make sure it stays in place without wrinkling.

This is the ideal technique for wearing your plain women’s shirt with tailored trousers, making it the perfect look for your meetings !
