Tuck or untuck polos in the office?

[BrunoMars420]

Do you tuck or untuck your shirts in the office? And how old are you when you started doing it?

I’m 36 and still rock the untucked polo. Not sure when the move to tucking in shirts happen but idk if that happens with my generation.

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

I am Gen x. Started out tucking in slacks on casual Friday’s in the mid nineties. Morphed into untucked with jeans when that became fashionable and formality relaxed. Never going back to tucked.

 

[stanzithemanzi12]

I think untucked looks lazy and sloppy.

 

[BioHawk]

Depends on how big your gut is. I think skinny people can pull off untucked better than fat people, at least if your goal is to look professional. That said, if you have a big belly tucking in your shirt makes it far more noticeable on how large your belly is, but it does still look more professional imo. And wear a belt regardless of your size for a more professional look.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

I always tuck in my polo at work.

 

[HawkMachine]

I don't wear polos to work so I guess never.

Long sleeve button down shirt for me, even in the summer.

Throw over some type of a sweater when it's cold. That can be a 1/4 zip or a V neck.

Don't wear ties anymore but my last job it was required.

Tuck unless it's designed not to be tucked.

I love polos. Not the flashy bright golf polos, but i like a nice fabric solid black polo. In fact, I'm wearing one now.

 

[desihawk]

tuck in dress shirt, leave out polos. many polo shirts are barely long enough to reach the top of the ass, tucking seems inappropriate

 

[NDallasRuss]

I don't tuck in polo shirts, regardless of it's at work or anywhere else. If I need to tuck in a shirt to look professional, I just wear a dress shirt and tuck that in.

[ISUBryce]

First off I think polos suck. I think they look sloppy for the most part. Either they accentuate people's pot bellies or they end up draped on slender guys.

That said I never tuck my polos in, I'm 6'2", generally they are too short to tuck in functionally. Most offices are pretty casual too including mine so I'll never tuck again, just more comfortable.

I am going to go ahead and imagine you look like your Avatar no matter where you are. Home, Work, Store, Funeral, Orgy. Mohawk spikes.

The only time you don’t “tuck” is when you aren’t wearing pants….or mowing the lawn. Jeeebus Kaaaaaristmas! Tuck your shirt in… you are a grown up.

So whether or not I tuck in my polo shirt is, like, 20th on the list of why I don't look more professional?

 

[VodkaSam]

Khaki pants = tuck
Jeans = no tuck

 

[OrlandNole]

This.

Work = Tucked (slacks or jeans)
Not work = Untucked (shorts and occasionally jeans)

I never tuck a polo, anywhere

 

[ozzie8]

Tucked extremely tight with top button fastened

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Tucked extremely tight with top button fastened

I don’t think I have ever seen anyone with the top button fastened.

Wear mine untucked with slacks. Occasionally I think about going with a tucked in look, tuck it in and I feel like a nerd and pull it back out.

 

[Moral]

I never tuck in a polo when I wear one. I'll tuck in my undershirt if I know I am crawling around weird places doing IT stuff.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

I don’t think I have ever seen anyone with the top button fastened.

That was the style for millennials like 10 yrs ago.

It depends on the cut of the shirt, if it is designed to not tuck or athletic cut, don't tuck. Never tuck polos or button downs with jeans or chinos. Always tuck with khakis or dress. If tucked, always have a belt and matching shoes.

I’m nearly your height and 200 lbs. Solid but slim (no beer belly). I’m right on the edge of L and XL but unfortunately most XL are made for fat dudes. Finding an off the rack short sleeve shirt that fits well is like finding a diamond in the rough.

 

[QChawks]

I've gone untuck since Covid, office attire is basically everyday clothes anymore

Im an athletic 6'3 220 lbs and buying online is a total crapshoot, but I tend to fit best in LT or XLT (if you can find them).

Yeah, I find buying online is pointless. Sizing is inconsistent, even within the “same” size and style.

This is a bit of a silly question and it really boils down to where you work, your position, and job function..

In my experience, untucked polos are for IT, shipping and marketing types. C-suite, accounting, finance, legal should all tuck in and dress accordingly

Yeah I’m 190.

I either get a L that’s so tight it looks painted on or an XL where I look like a little kid wearing his dads shirt.

I’m in accounting and haven’t tucked a shirt in since probably before Covid. I work for a big corporation though and it feels like dress codes have really relaxed in the last 10-15 years.

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

Big belly dont weat polos. For those wo bellies, tuck the polos unless working for Google.

It depends on who you are and where you are. You in a cube? Not meeting C-suite execs in board room, zoom only? Go for it.

If I'm WFH and making an appearance in the building, tuck it in.

Yeah that’s fair. I’ll probably never meet any execs in any formal way but if I were I wouldn’t even wear a polo, I’d have something nicer on.

Exactly. Just read the room (or building)

 

[Rifler]

The correct answer is,.. Polos are always worn untucked, and never in the office.

Tucks Tshirt into jean shorts along
with braided belt, tighty whities, socks up to shins, NB sneakers, phone clip and bt earpiece.
