Tuck tuck tucking

How do you tuck your shirt in? Mine always looks daft, it tends to creep around? I’ve had this problem for as long as I’ve been tucking my shirt in, which has probably been since birth given my Father’s insistence that my sister and I look respectable when out. I’ve tucked in lots of shirts, from primary school through high school uniforms, to t-shirts into jeans (what a STATEMENT), yet all have the same issue – they seem to draw a bit around the side and never quite stay.

Whilst this post is an attempt to SEARCH for answers, I have done some scholarly research – I’ve googled ‘how to tuck in your shirt’. I’ve since learned that I’m not the only one with this problem – the quest for the ‘perfect tuck’ is shared by many, and documented on youtube clips and on websites. I found the website ‘How to do things’ to be particularly useful with its advice to:
- Pick the right shirt
- Make folds on the side of your shirt
- Zip and button up your pants
- Raise your arms

Well, what do you think? I’ve been conscious of the shirt and buttoning up my pants, but the folds and the arms could do the trick! Perfect tucking may only be a simple fold away!
