Do you ever have this problem? You start the day with your dress shirt tucked
in, looking great. However, after only an hour or two your shirt
is coming out, giving that dreaded muffin top look. In today's video, I'm going to give you 4
Ways to to keep your dress shirt tucked in all day Before we go over the 4 techniques, here are
3 general tips, though, to help keep your shirt looking tidy all day. Tip 1. Make sure to buy a dress shirt that
has at least 3 inches of fabric that goes below the belt line Tip 2. Pay attention to the gig line. This is the imaginary line that is formed
when your shirt placket, belt buckle, and the front seam of your trousers are all aligned. Tip 3. Get rid of the excess fabric in and around
the waist area. So take your shirt to get tailored or buy
a custom shirt that doesn't have a whole bunch of excess fabric in and around the waist. Let's start off with Method #1, the basic
tuck. This is the method we are all familiar with,
you simply tuck your shirt into your pants and you're good to go. This works for some men, especially if you're
in pretty good shape and you've got a well-tailored shirt, but for a lot of guys they're gonna
need something more. So for that, let's go to Method #2, Next up
we've got the Military Tuck. You may find it easier to have your trousers
unbuttoned to start. You are going to take the excess fabric at
your sides, pinch them between your thumb and index finger, and then use your thumb to fold the
excess fabric behind itself. Continue to adjust, pushing more fabric into
the fold until you are satisfied. Then button your trousers and make any final adjustments. This method can be very helpful if you have
a shirt with excess material around the middle. On to Method #3, the Underwear Tuck. If you typically wear an undershirt this is
the technique you will want to use. Take your undershirt and tuck it into your
underwear, then tuck your dress shirt over your underwear and into your trousers. This method helps keep your undershirt from
pulling at your dress shirt and untucking it. Finally, we have my favorite method, the use
of Shirt Stays. I learned the shirt stay method while in the
United States Marine Corps, and have since discovered they are a favorite trick tool used in all branches
of the military and popular with police officers who need to look sharp and still be able to have a full
day of movement in uniform. For this you will need to purchase a set of
shirt stays, also known as shirt garters. Shirt stays are elastic bands with attachments
on each end that connect to your dress shirt on one end the top of your socks on the other. They create light tension when worn and continuously
pull on your shirt to keep it tucked in no matter what you're doing: An added bonus is
they hold your socks up! And no, they are not visible when worn or
uncomfortable if worn correctly! A great looking dress shirts is key part to
being sharp dressed Use these tips and techniques to stay looking
your best! For more detail check out the step by step
