Who Gives a Tuck?

Fashion moves at the speed of light these days. It was only a couple of years ago that
the Gigis and Kendalls of the world began tucking snug tops into belted, high-rise, dark-
wash skinny jeans, creating their own elegant take on the classic jeans-and-tee look.
However, in the years since its emergence, the trend has evolved into a cozier, more
effortless version. Roomy, vintage-inspired boyfriend jeans in a bevy of different washes
pair with oversized statement tees or menswear inspired shirts as the latest
adaptation of the cool girl uniform.

Of course, we know that rocking an entire outfit that’s a couple sizes too big can make
one feel a bit bedraggled. Although this trend is meant to be uncomplicated and
casual, the trick to pulling it off is not by giving zero tucks. In fact, the most
straightforward way to avoid giving the impression that you’re walk-of-shaming in
clothes from the desperate early morning raid of a stranger’s closet is simply to
embrace the tuck. Make it clear that you tried (just a little) with a fully tucked-in tee, or
simply fold only the very front of a button-down into the waistline of your jeans.
