It is said that styling can make or break your look and rightly so. When you know how to style, you can make even the dullest of dresses appear flattering. Tucking is a type of styling that has taken many different forms. The level of formality can change with every type of tuck and shirt. Here’s a simple guide to the types of tucks and how to nail each:

Full Tuck

This is the type of tuck, best suited for formal trousers for ladies and is meant for formal occasions. Whether dressing up for a job interview, a party, or a workday, a full tuck is the way to go. A full tuck involves tightly tucking in the entire hem of your shirt. This makes your shirt appear as if it’s attached to your skirt or pants. It is advisable to go for high-waisted pants, skirt, or paper bag waist pants to pull off this look as that will ensure that the shirt gets tucked in nicely.

Loose Full Tuck

This one is a slightly less dressy version of the full tuck and goes well with flowy blouses, shirts, rather than skin-tight shirts. This one again can be best paired with a high-waisted skirt and high-waisted pants. It involves tightly tucking in the shirt, like how you would do in case of a full tuck, and lifting the arms a bit to loosen the tuck. This gives a polished yet casual look.

Front Tuck

Made famous by influencers all over, the front tuck is one of the most versatile tucks that looks great on any type of top. Whether you are wearing slim-fit shirts, t-shirts, or blouses, each of these can be styled with a front tuck. The only exceptions here are long tunics and chunky sweaters, the fabric of which isn’t ideal for a front tuck. It involves taking the front part of the shirt’s hem and tucking it into the front of your pants while keeping the sides and back of your top untucked. This can be done with both high-rise and mid-rise pants.

Half Tuck

A half tuck exudes care-free vibes, best suited for casual occasions. Simply wear a loose blouse or a button-down shirt with jeans, high-rise pants, or skirt and leave the left side of the hem untucked. When wearing a button-down shirt, leave the bottom half of your shirt unbuttoned and tuck only the part which has buttons on it, leaving the closure side hanging freely.
It takes just a bit of practice to master the tuck. While you might try too hard, keep in mind that your tuck doesn’t have to look perfect.
