On the other hand, wearing an undersized too shirt dress shirt untucked with dress pants looks like ****, as pictured.

You should always wear a luxury shirt untucked. If you tuck it, it will chafe your pen0r.

I guess to me it is less "luxury" and more style and cut. I do have shirts by Paul Smith, Dolce, Prada, etc. that I wear un-tucked when I go hang out in the city. The un-tucked button up shirt is pretty much the "uniform" in many places in NYC (at least what I see). I typically don't wear my "dress" shirts this way but have some shirts that are button up with something different (patterned fabric, unique cuffs, etc.).

I would say having the correct fit is more important than luxury when sporting a button-up shirt un-tucked. I am in decent shape so shirts with darts give me the nice contoured look even when my shirts are un-tucked; in contrasts, those that wear boxy shirts (they can be "luxury" like Zegna) look sloppy because it looks like they're wearing a blanket over them.
