what's the secret to tucking shirts in so that when you bend over extra material doesn't come out the back?

I'm just saying, the functional argument people are trying to make about boat shoes and sweaters does not apply.

Du is serious? You tuck the shirt in, then reach up and stretch out a little bit to pull up the natural amount of fabric to allow for movement. I'm very curious to see how your shirts fit.

To be honest, I do think the shirts could be a bit less trim. You want the shirts to look like a clean blank slate, while still maintaining the slimness. Right now it kind of looks like a white piece of paper tightly wrapped around a bar of soap. This way the shirt acts a blank starting point for the rest of your outfit, instead all people can do is notice how tight your shirt is.

Also, this may be harder for you since you are muscular that the shirts have to hug your body in that way to be slim, not sure.

This is a good description of the ideal white shirt.
