+1. Yes, I am tucking in my shirt, I don't care if anyone sees and/or notices it.

Have you considered a shirt garter, to keep your shirttail from coming un-tucked. If so, just make sure you tuke it in at home and then fuggetaboutit!

I never tuck in my shirt, would like to but...not sure about the look. What's the style today? Is there a style or when to tuck it in? Going out I rarely see guys with their shirts in. Also, I've never been a big fan of belts.

So, when, with a belt? Some help on this would be great.
I'll post up some pics later & some advise on this subject would be wonderful.
Also, my fashion sense tells me a tucked in shirt w/o a belt is a no-no. Correct?
I see this quite a bit though.

Like most things - skip the BS modesty and just do it discretely and quickly if you can't find a private spot.

No way to do it unnoticed in public. I always do a re-tuck after taking a whiz, doesn't matter though, it gets messed up once you sit, stretch, or bend.

I think if you're going to do it, you can't show any hesitation and reluctance. You have to tuck your shirt in with extreme confidence that this is absolutely the right thing to do and if anybody looking at you think's it's not the right thing or it's inappropriate then they are ******* stupid. If you can pull it off with just the right attitude then it can work.

Really depends! Is it a situation where you have to undo the belt and pants to tuck it in, or is there enough room to just stuff it back in there? If we're going for the 'stuff' option, you could time it with a kind of rocking back on your heels then toes and slide your thumbs round in a swift motion, preferrably with a pipe in your mouth and a large moustache.

Is it possible that because your doing a rush job due to possible public viewing you might tuck your shirt in too far? Maybe that is something to consider.

my history teacher celebrates the act of tucking evrytime he stands up by means of unbuttoning his pants, solemnly tucking his shirt in and rebuttoning his pants again. fascinating.
