Tuck Your Shirt In
 
When,exactly,did it become fashionable for us blokes to walk around with our shirts & t-shirts worn outside the pants/jeans.I seem to recall this fashion trend happening in the early 90's with the emergance of britpop & Oasis,probably thinking 'if i'm paying 70/80 notes for this shirt,they might as well see the cut of it'.Its just that when i was younger i could'nt seem to leave the house without someone saying "tuck your shirt in".Must have been an older generation thing:rolleyes:Maybe Garinda,our resident fashion ace,can shed more light on this,and what do you ladies think...inside or out???

i think men look better wearing them outside for casual reasons, but for weddings and interviews etc the inside look is definately in :D

The shirt worn out covers the bulge from overeating junk - didn't used to be a problem (I am old enough to remember food rationing)

T-shirts first started to be worn outside the waistband in the summer of love, 1987, and the start of the rave scene. All that waving your hands in the air resulted in your shirt riding up anyway, and t-shirts were designed longer after that, and making it look like you were wearing a nappy if you tried to tuck them in.:D

Glad you added the amendment - I always thought the Summer of Love was in the sixties.

I prefer shirts and T shirts not tucked in, looks a lot better, except if your wearing a suit. Dungaree's are also out Maxwell.:D

The rule for more formal shirts, ie: ones with a button up front, is that if it has a shaped hem and a tail, it must be tucked in, and if it's cut straight across it should be worn on the outside of the trousers.

But hey, rules were meant to be broken.:D
