A girlfriend pointed out my half-tucked shirt recently and asked if that was a new trend. Not that I am aware of. Half tucking sweaters and shirts is something I’ve done for a while now. Here are a few reasons why I do it and why you might want to too!
No. 1. // A Half Tuck Makes Your Legs Look Longer. Tucking in the front of your top helps emphasizes your legs and makes them look longer. I don’t know anyone among us that doesn’t want that.
No. 2. // A Half Tuck Makes Your Top Proportional. Oversized sweaters and shirts are really popular right now. Even if I wanted to it’s hard to avoid them. The larger size can make you seem bigger than you are, however, so I tuck in the front so I don’t look and feel like I’m swimming in it.
No. 3 // A Half Tuck Finishes The Outfit. If you have a great belt you want to show off or if you just want your outfit to look a little neater and casually chic, half-tucking your shirt can help achieve that.

Love # 3 casual chic. I love wearing leggings and an oversize sweater or top half tucked definitely elevates the leggings. Thanks for the post!
Sandra,
Thank you for writing. I’m glad you like the half tuck as much as I do!
