Wanneer draag je een overhemd in je broek?

When do you wear a shirt in your pants?

🤔 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
