1. Is it Advisable to Untuck Your Dress Shirt?
A question the men often ask us is, “Can I untuck my dress shirt?” So, we wanted to write
a post to explain our thoughts. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer because “it
depends.” Yes, you can untuck your men’s dress shirts from TOM XII in some cases but not
others. Let us explain.
Examine the Shirt’s Hem
The hem of men’s formal shirt can help you decide whether you can untuck it or not. Look
at the bottom of the shirt. If its hem has a flat bottom, such as this Miltiadis shirt, then by
all means keep it untucked and it will look great. Alternatively, tuck in your shirt,
regardless of the hem, if it is your style preference.
Also, take a look in the mirror at yourself and see where the hem stops. If it is a long shirt
that looks like a dress when left untucked, it will obviously look much more masculine
when tucked within your pants.
Consider the Setting
For a casual outing, an untucked shirt is likely more fitting than one tucked into your pants.
On the other hand, a dress shirt tucked in is ideal for a fancy occasion, such as a
candlelight dinner with your romantic partner.
Weight and the Shirt
Sometimes, people tell us they leave their TOM XII men’s dress shirts untucked to hide the
bit of excess weight they carry around their midsection. But if it is a formal event you are
attending, we suggest you tuck in the button-up shirt and be confident in yourself. Say to
yourself that you’re dressing sharp and looking great, which you are, and confidence is
very sexy to women.

2. Look at the Overall Shirt
Another tip for deciding whether to tuck or untuck your shirt is to look at the overall
design. If it has a nice sharp collar and minimal design, it’s likely meant to be tucked into
your pants. On the other hand, if the men’s dress shirts from TOM XII have a casual print
that you would never wear with a necktie, you are welcome to wear it untucked. Note how
our shirts look casual but never sloppy because of the excellent craftsmanship.
A Note on Work
In the workplace, it is advisable to air on the side of caution and tuck in your shirt. After all,
you want to look as professional as possible. Also, when you tuck it in, you are likely going
to be less likely to slouch and more likely to give your all at the office.
Thus, there is no one hard and fast rule about whether to tuck or untuck your TOM XII
dress shirt. Instead, take into account features of the shirt, such as the hem, your weight,
and where you plan the shirt on the particular day.
