🤔 Why This Question Matters
You might assume shirts are always formal — but it depends.
Whether you tuck in your shirt comes down to:
-
The occasion
-
The fit & length
-
Your personal style
-
The shirt’s design
🧵 1. The General Rule
Formal = tucked in. Casual = untucked.
Tuck in your shirt when:
-
Attending a meeting or job interview
-
Wearing a blazer or jacket
-
The shirt has a longer tail or curved hem
-
You're wearing a structured shirt like our cutaway collar shirts
Wear it untucked when:
-
Working from home or dressing casually
-
The shirt is short with a straight hem
-
You wear it open over a T-shirt
-
You're wearing a soft, knitted shirt like our Japanese Knitted collection
📏 2. Check the Shirt’s Length
| Too long = tuck it in | Too short = leave it out |
|---|---|
| Covers your backside | Ends at your hips |
| Curved hemline | Straight hemline |
| Looks formal | Looks like an overshirt |
💡 Vercate shirts are designed to be tucked, but still look sleek untucked.
📍 3. Mind the Silhouette
A tucked-in shirt:
-
Makes you look taller and leaner
-
Pairs well with jackets or blazers
-
Feels structured and confident
An untucked shirt:
-
Gives a laid-back, modern look
-
Pairs great with chinos or denim
-
Needs the right length, or it’ll look sloppy
👞 4. Your Pants Matter Too
Tucked-in shirts work best with:
-
Higher waistbands
-
Slim-fit trousers
-
Belts or clean closures
