Should men tuck in their shirts or not? (cut, legs, guys)

Talking mostly designer T shirts for casual wear. I know for formal type shirts they should be tucked in.

I don't like men's shirts to be tucked in, unless they are shooting for a very formal look. But then the whole "cowboy fashion" thing, with tight jeans and belt and tucked t-shirt, I don't like. Some women do. I even like some buttoned formal shirts untucked, or worn open over a tank or t-shirt. But then I was a teenager of the 90's and wearing a flannel, or other sort of button shirt unbuttoned over your rock t-shirt was a thing then. I still like many of the fashions I liked as a teenager. Imagine a man in pants with a belt, a tucked in white t or tank, and a black shirt unbuttoned over the top of that. I like that look on almost any guy. So...sometimes both?

Also depends on body shape. I have known men who had long torsos and shorter legs and certain things emphasize that in an unbecoming way, from untucked shirts that are too long, to kilts. Not every man looks good in a kilt, but some really do. The length of their legs has a lot to do with it in my opinion.

There's such a thing as "designer T-shirts"?

I don't like it. It looks too... something, I don't know the word. My husband sometimes tucks his shirts in and it just looks so bad. Maybe I just like a more casual look for guys. I've always hated the suit and tie look, on any guy. I was thrilled when my husband wanted to wear a kilt to our wedding because I would not have liked how he looked in (traditional) formal attire. The kilt looked great! Come to think of it the shirt probably was tucked in, but I didn't notice it. It just looked really neat.

I hate any shirt tucked in, it is un comfortable and I feel like a stuffed penquin.

I only like it when worn as part of a suit with a jacket. Otherwise, it looks like a throwback to old Seinfeld episodes where Jerry wore his shirt tucked in, yet slightly pulled out all the way around for a bit of a "poof" near his waist. It's a very dated and unflattering look, imo.

A dress shirt, yes, and tee shirt no.

All depends on baggage around the waist, for both men and women.

Tucking in for men, is nice ,is formal, respectable, not like a little scrub that dont know how to dress.

There is a fine line between business casual, casual, and scrub casual.

So , wear out when?

t shirts, every day, unless it is underwear, leave it out

If it is a straight cut button down

Polo shirt, depending on the look you after.

And tuck it in when?

At work
Formal or business casual settings.

A funny thing, if your too skinny or too fat, things get sloppy as body image gets distorted. Just follow the rules, for the right situation.

i dont wear polos. So it's either tee shirts, henleys, dress shirts, oxford collar casual shirts, short sleeve button ups. None of these I tuck in unless I am at work or at a slightly more 'formal' event or some function beyond looking for dress beyond 'casual'
