— shirt half tucked in, half hanging loose, is all the rage.
Everywhere.
It has become the way to wear any top you can think of, even sweaters.
You even get instructions online telling you how to go about tucking part of your shirt into your waistband. If the current population needs to have that explained to them, that's surely all the proof we need of cognitive decline.
For heaven's sake. Whatever half-wit half-tuck notion will they come up with next?
I do know this. You wouldn't catch Miss Marple with her shirt half-tucked, nor her Majesty the Queen. I'm sure of that.

It's here too.
Great way to accentuate a protruding belly.
It always reminds me of a nine-year-old boy whose mother has just said Tuck Your Shirt In.
I hate wearing things tucked in, half or whole doesn't matter. I wear things that don't need to be tucked in so I don't have to.
Rapunzel — yes, I suspect the nine-year-old boy look is what the wearers long for; the insouciance of eternal youth. Peter Pan.
Elin — me too; I feel very self-conscious with tops tucked in.
Me too, like an old sack of 'taters tied in the middle.
i'm with elin above, no tucking in AT ALL. that's why we wear tunic tops, right?
It seems we think as one.
I see this look too. It seems like if someone just does something weird long enough, others will follow suit, and soon it's a real trend. And I agree with Greta... every top I buy needs to be at least 32 inches long (tunic) so I can de-accentuate the fact that I've had three large babies. If I started wearing my tops tucked into my jeans like this my daughters would think I needed a psych eval.
Other trends that years ago would have seemed impossible/too strange but are often seen now: black nail polish, asymmetrical haircuts, multiple facial piercings, bare legs with dressy dresses, dark roots with blonde hair...
It's Tunic Life for me. xoxo
Not for an oldie like myself, the longer the better, (and yes, that is why I buy tunics as well), but I wonder if it didn't originate in catalogs trying to show the waitstband of the bottoms and the length of the tops in the same pictures?

tucked in if I want to stay warm, like today, it is chilly in our office, so t-shirt is tucked in, but cardigan over the top is not, although it is zipped closed right now :)
I sometimes half tuck, if I am wearing a belt I tend to tuck in my shirt directly behind the belt buckle, but leave the back and sides out, unless I am cold then I do a full tuck LOL.
It's all about staying warm for me, thankfully I only work two days a week, but sitting for long periods in air conditioning just chills me to the bone!!!!!!
And, remember wearing odd, unmatched socks was all the rage the past few years, but apparently now it is passe and a fashion faux pas LOL.

Hello friends! Waving!
Julie B — I've been very interested in the articles I've seen about the golden ratio as applied to clothes. Basically they suggest one's overall figure should be dressed in ratios of a third to two thirds rather than half and half. Erm . . . let me see if I can find one of the articles — yes, here — http://www.smartwomenonthego.com/dressing-your-best-the-rule-of-thirds/
Interesting.
DMW — that seems very likely!
Bean — air-conditioning! O, I loathe it! I appreciate it can be necessary in some times and places, though.
