Nothing is more frustrating than a shirt that keeps coming out of your trousers. Whether you are sitting, walking, or standing up, a messy shirt is something you want to avoid.
In this short blog and video, we explain how to keep your shirt neatly tucked in without sacrificing comfort.
1. Choose a Shirt with Enough Length
It all starts with the shirt itself. A shirt that is too short simply cannot stay properly tucked in.
Make sure the shirt:
Falls well below the waistband
Is specifically designed to be worn tucked in
Has extra length at both the front and the back
A properly long shirt is the first and most important step.
2. An Extra Button Just Above the Waistband
Does the shirt have enough length? Then a smart adjustment can make a real difference.
Add an extra button just above the waistband.
Why this works:
The shirt fits closer around the waist
It creates more tension when moving
The shirt comes loose less easily when sitting down or standing up
A small detail with a big impact.
3. A Horizontally Placed Bottom Button
Not only the extra button matters, but also its direction.
A horizontally placed bottom button:
Closes more securely than a vertical button
Can handle more tension
Is less likely to come undone when moving
This detail is often overlooked, but it truly makes a difference.
4. An Anti-Slip Waistband in the Trousers
Your trousers can also help keep your shirt in place.
An anti-slip band on the inside of the waistband:
Made of rubber instead of fabric
Provides extra grip
Keeps the shirt firmly in place
This solution is increasingly common in high-quality trousers and bespoke tailoring.
