Keeping Shirt Tucked in Neatly

[sonlegoman]

Put a button on both of the front of your shirt "tails." Then sew buttonholes into the backs of your shirt tails. Connect them together below your crotch. When going to the bathroom, just undo one of your shirt buttons and put your wang through.

All joking aside, does anyone notice that their movements are dictated by whether they are dressed well? For example, to prevent this same type of untucking, when I need to pick something off the ground, instead of bending at the waist, I bend at the knee with one knee, keep the other leg straight, and lower my body without bending at the waist. I look like a speed skater while doing it.

definitely agree. if i have to reach something on a high shelf, i'll pull up a chair or ladder to avoid the extra reaching.

i know some guys will actually pin their shirt to their underwear. this has the added advantage of not only keeping your shirt anchored, but it also showcases the goods below, if you know what i mean.

Hmm, yet again:

thanks for all the input. the shirts are definitely long enough and properly fitted. they dont come all the way out of my pants, they just blouse a lot in the back and wind up hanging over my belt and looking sloppy. not sure if there is a solution and im sure the fact that i just lost about 20 lbs doesnt help as all of my suits are way too big in the waist now and need to be altered. GO GIANTS

To the OP: These two steps -- more length, less waist -- should solve all your problems.

I have to agree with Scrumhalf. I know it's considered a fashion fax paux but a good (longish) undershirt tucked into underpants will do the trick. I have a slim build and the Macy's inhouse brand (Alfini) of crew necks is perfect for me. If you wear them with full cut briefs you won't ever need to visit the restroom at all - at least in my experience everything stays about perfectly in place all day. And I have dress shirts with both long and short tails - never an issue either way.

I have two pairs of Hiltl pants, both have a rubber strip sewn into the waitband, they are excellent pants.

I have one white formal dress shirt with a flap that goes from the shirt-tail, under my crotch, and to a button at the front that is good to wear to certain balls because moving around too much will inevitably untuck one's shirt slightly.

However, if you're with anything other than that slight untucking, you're probably wearing a shirt that's too short or trousers with a waist that's too large. Change both.

There are shirt garters, which connect to the tails and is attached at the socks so you have double the purpose:

Also on that site is this: http://www.armysurplusworld.com/product.asp?ProductID=53779

Which seems to have the same basic concept as the pants with a rubbery "band" sewn into them to help hold your shirt tail in.

I did find the description of these humorous. I think they haven't completely checked all their copy for spelling and grammatical errors:

" The Hidden Tailor belt is designed to be worn over the shirt tail, inside the slacks. It resists the **** from pulling out while helping prevent the slacks from sagging down"

or maybe that's really what they meant...
