What is the difference between someone who tucks in tacky and someone who is fashionable?

“I’m not good at wearing tucked-in… Is there a difference between someone who is tacky at dressing tucked in and someone who is stylish?” /speech_bubble] We asked Mr. Miyazaki, a professional stylist active in the men’s fashion world, for his tips on tucking in.

After graduating from college, he went to a fashion school and later became an assistant stylist. Since becoming independent, he has expanded his activities to include popular men’s fashion magazines, famous brand catalogs, and styling for celebrities.

The reason why tucked-in clothes look tacky is because of the “tightness”!

Although there are no rules of fashion in today’s fashion, there are certain outfits that tend to look tacky. One such style is the tucked-in look. According to Mr. Miyazaki, a stylist, tucked-in clothes that are too tight tend to look unattractive. For example, as shown in the image below, if the top and bottom are tucked in at a tight fit, it gives the impression of undergarments.

Mr. Miyazaki
Exceptions are made for tucked-in dress shirts that are tailored to be worn as innerwear for jackets, but basically, it is better to avoid tucking in with slim tops. Conversely, tucking in with loose tops and slim pants is also often difficult to balance.

Tucking into slim silhouette pants is dangerous!

Mr. Miyazaki
Pants with a slim silhouette that hugs the body closely can look as if you are forcing yourself to wear pants that are a size smaller when tucked in. It is also safe to avoid tucking in pants with a shallow crotch or that are too short.

These are the two keys to making tuck-ins look fashionable!

What is the correct way to make tucked-in pants look stylish? If you keep these two points in mind, you are sure to look fashionable!

Point 1) “Browsing” to make the tuck-in look stylish.

The first is to make the garment appear browsed. Browsing is a technique where the hem of the top is pulled out a little when it is tucked into the bottoms to give a fuller look at the waist.

Mr. Miyazaki
Browsing makes it easier to balance the silhouette of an outfit. Especially in spring and summer, when you are likely to spend more time wearing only a shirt, you should actively adopt this technique.

Belted for easy browsing!!!

Ms. Miyazaki
For pants with belt loops, it is basic to wear a belt when browsing. Browsing without a belt is a little more difficult, as it is easy to feel that the waist is not tight enough.

Point #2 for a stylish tuck-in look: “Choose pants with a deep crotch!”

Mr. Miyazaki
Pants with a deep crotch and tucked-in waist provide more room around the waist, making it easier to balance tucking them in. No-tuck pants such as jeans will also be relatively easy to balance if you choose a loose-fitting silhouette, which is in vogue these days.

Adjust the waist position higher and style up!

Ms. Miyazaki
A deeper crotch will make the waist appear higher, making the legs look shorter.

Such a stylish way to arrange tuck-ins!

Ms. Miyazaki
In recent years, tucking in has become popular not only in the business world but also in casual fashion. If you find it difficult to keep a good balance, it is recommended to wear a cut-and-sew or knit shirt inside and open 3~4 buttons of the shirt.

Mr. Miyazaki
When tucking in a cut and sewn shirt, it is not necessary to choose a silhouette that is too thin; choosing an oversized shirt will balance out the shirt to some extent.

Check your silhouette balance in the mirror before you go out! What are the points to look at?

Ms. Miyazaki
It is also important to check the balance of the silhouette of the top, belt, pants, and shoes in front of a mirror in order to achieve a stylish look. If you feel uncomfortable, pay attention to where the balance is out of balance.

(1) Are you browsing too much or too little?

Mr. Miyazaki
If the hem is too loose, it may look sloppy. It is a good idea to keep your browsing at a level that hides your belt a little.

(2) Are the sizes of the top and pants balanced, or are either of them too slim?

Mr. Miyazaki
Again, be aware that tucking in a loose top and slim pants is difficult to balance.

(3) Whether the pants length and shoes are unbalanced and make the legs look short.

Mr. Miyazaki
The most common cases of unbalance are ” pants that are too short and show too much ankle” and “high-cut shoes that make the feet look bad. If you coordinate your outfit with these things in mind, you will not be thrown off drastically.
