Tucked

Rather unintentionally, my friend Richard inspired this post.  He mentioned how a high school friend always tucked in his shirt  in a certain way, and it got me to thinking - the way clothes are tucked and draped can completely transform a look.  Below are some of my favorite styles.

TUCKED EDGY
I love this look.  By tucking in just the front part of her white T, Lauren Conrad is showing off her waist and her cute belt.  Her outfit wouldn't have the edge it does if she didn't drape her shirt this way.  

TUCKED PREPPY
Tucking in a button down is the most simple way to look polished and chic.  Although this seems like such a simple look, it's one I tend to forget about, but love every time I do it.   

TUCKED LOOSE
For a beach ready, flowy summer look, tuck blouses loosely into pants and shorts.  It's fresh and simple, and the slight volume created looks airy and cool.  

TUCKED EURO
Miranda Kerr looks so chic by tucking her Parisian inspired tee into skinny jeans.  It makes for a sleek, straight look, that is ultra sophisticated.

TUCKED HALF
Another favorite way to wear a button down is to tuck only half of the shirt in.   It's effortless and adds an asymmetrical appeal that everyone should experiment with.
