I usually tuck in my shirt. Of course I only ever wear collared shirts, even around the house.
I always wear a belt. This means I am always prepared and can quickly unzip it and use it to strike her down before she finishes her sentence.
How do you feel about the good old front tuck (with obligatory buckle)? Or about people who tuck in T-shirts? I'm a fan of neither. Of course, I'm not a fan of shirt tucking in general.
Both are badQuote:

A nice old leather belt is a necessity with or without tucking the shirt in. I always feel as if I'm half dressed if I'm not wearing one.
However a belt with a fancy new-fangled buckle is an abomination.
This is what belt should look like-

A square buckle looks better of course.
I did just what the title describes for my graduation. First time I've worn a suit since...erm... could it be ever?
Typically people with a sense of fashion wear the shirt tucked in and with a belt. :tongue:Quote:

Tucking in = formal, untucked = casual. All a matter of taste and preference I guess. Belts are a must if your pants are falling down. Or, suspenders with a tucked in shirt. Not a t shirt though.
Fashion Nazis. Sometimes I feel like a nut, and sometimes I don't.
Why does your family think you dress like a chav again? Dear god man belts cost like 3 dollars at walmart.Quote:

I don't tuck in polo's and I do not own a single button-down shirt.Quote:

I thought you only used a belt if your trousers were falling down...Quote:

I only ever tuck in collared button-down shirts when I've got a dress jacket and tie to go with it (with belt of course). If I don't have the jacket I say :daisy: it, take off the tie, and go casual.
Whatcha calling that ginger Hun names for? Tsk. :no:Quote:

A belt is a must, I wear it all the time.
I've always felt wearing a shirt and tie and not wearing a belt looks a little sloppy. Tucking in your t-shirt looks bad whether you wear a belt or not.
I always wear a belt, even if I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt, because I don't feel fully dressed without one.
belt W/ suspenders and an untucked shirt plus sandals with arguille socks = WIN
Now that's a belt. :yes:

The formal and casual thing is how I typically apporach this issue. If it's business related, it gets tucked in, but I'm going out to dinner with friends or to the bar, it stays out.Quote:

Are you a golfer perhaps? Tucked in polos and plaid pants?Quote:

Me too. Though I seldom do anything business related, so I am untucked the majority of the time!Quote:

I always wear a belt, even with short and a t-shirt. I tuck in when it's cold and untuck when warm - I know how to wear a suit properly.
I saw this a lot in CA in the '80s--high-waist Jordache-type jeans, polo shirt, thinnish leather belt, and leather slip-on shoes that match, with "notice me" socks that stand out a bit maybe. Topped with a light Member's Only jacket, with the Chinese collar and goofy little straps and rivets here and there. Silly look if you ask me. Of course, I never dressed like that. Ever.Quote:

I tuck in t-shirts (and wear a belt) when I wear a light, casual button-up shirt over it, unbuttoned and untucked. Sometimes I feel like layers, or I want to be able to button up that shirt and tuck it in, stepping up the "formality" if a need arises. Or take it off, untuck the T-shirt, and lose the belt if it doesn't. Options are always nice.
This is what I wore to my prom, in the 80s.

Where I work everybody tucks, sans belt.

IMHO, if you adhere to at least some fashion rules it shows you care. And if you know your fashion the ladies will notice.
I don't know edyz, some wimmen have less fashion sense or even care about it than some of the dorkiest of men. But hey, when trying to make a go at a chance for a relationship, a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. Popular fashion sense isn't gender specific or universal.Quote:

Are they impressed when you wear a suit with pants hanging off your butt?
I routinely forget to wear a belt to work. Today I wore a button down shirt tucked into jeans with no belt, and I thought about this thread after I realized it. :bounce: Fortunately, nobody at my job tries to uphold any sort of fashion apart from the mandatory dress code of long pants and collared shirts. It's Alabama, for Christ's sake, and we work in a lab. It's hot as balls 9 months out of the year and we're supposed to wear long pants so we can stare into microscopes all day? Give me a break.
I'd like to know what's supposed to be so darn "professional" about shirts with collars and buttons anyway. What good is a collar in the summer? How about suits and ties? Does dressing in the most impractical manner possible indicate one possesses superior business skills? Sport team mascots must be the craftiest individuals in our society.
I tuck my shirt into my underwear, and tuck my pant legs into my socks, and tuck my tie into my front breast pocket, and tuck my ponytail into my back breast pocket.
I win.
I always wear button down shirts with jeans and a casual sport coat. I always have my shirt tucked in my underpants and because of this I usually try to buy regular rise jeans. With some of the lower rise levis the white waistband of my pants will show unless I wear a belt. I think most people tend to adopt the dress style of their age group and I consider myself to be"older preppy"
I'm 29.
Ha ha! Sorry, that just sounds funny! :) I thought about starting a trend of wearing my underpants on the outside of my pants. Do you think that would catch on?Quote:

Judging from some of the current fashions especially "hip-hop" and "hood" I think it might just catch on. Ha,Ha!Quote:

I'd also like to point out the logistical nightmare that is using the back breast pocket. It is possibly the least accessible pocket imaginable.
Okay, I actually have a worse one. A pocket on the *inside* of the back of your shirt. You can only reach it my dropping objects down your neck hole.
Which, if you're a fan of eating, you've had ample practice.
You're wearing it wrong.Quote:
