If you want to know how to tuck your shirts or your sweaters without the bulk at the waistband, I call this the four point tuck. I don't know if that's a real word or if it's just something I made up, but it works. Okay, this is how it works. Instead of tucking everything in, you know, you tuck and then you blouse it out. You just sort of put you tuck at four points, and it looks like it's tucked, but then you only have four places of contact that are bulking. Okay. One right by the button. Pro tip. If you're blousing out the button, you want it like about half covered. That's sort of the perfect tuck. Then take it on the side. Tuck it right there. Okay, now you tuck this front part under. It's not really tucked into your waistband. It's just sort of fake tucked, but it will stay because you have that fourth second point. Now we do the tushy. One point. Just right there. Last a little tucked under. I didn't remember which way I had to go. Okay, here. Sort of at the seam, right? It's going right where the belt loop is. That's the fourth one. So it's just a little. It's like a thumb tuck. Right now I need a mirror. Hold on. Oh, I did. I did a pretty good job without a mirror. There you go. So now it looks like it's totally tucked in, but it's not totally tucked in. And in fact, it's a little longer on the sides, which is sort of nice for creating that hourglass visually and feeling a little more protected from the side when you're tucked in. So four point tuck.
