I was always a girl against tucking in. When I was little, and living on the coast line of Lisbon, tucking in was synonym with being preppy. God! No way. I wanted to be cool, so, no tucking in for me. I grew up (uff, it was a smooth journey) and I found myself tucking in. Shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, even cardigans. It gives an extra comfort, warms you up and turns the outfits more elegant. All this while helping you achieve a more delineated silhouette.
I still love to tuck in my "top halves" but I have been seeing some images that have been showing me that, sometimes, I may not tuck in and still feel good and pretty.
The gorgeous Giovanna Battaglia continues elegant and with long legs. Hmm. I think I have to apply this idea again on my days.
And what is going to help you decide if you tuck in or not?
The occasion - on the outside is more casual. Your bodyshape - tucked in you can see more waist, untucked your arms and legs. The fabric - the less noble the more it benefits from being tucked in. Your personal taste - after all it is fashion and fashion is supposed to be fun and to make you feel yourself. Have fun!
