Can we look any sloppier?

depglass — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 15:43:21 GMT

What's with the partially tucked in shirt, usually in the front with the back loose? The Texas Fixer Upper gal wore two shirts like this yesterday. I even saw one standing news anchor of a major network sporting this look. Pretty soon we can spend the entire day in pajamas and slippers.

That's been the fashion thing to do for almost a couple years now. Nothing new. If done correctly it can look OK. I think they call it the half-tuck where you partially tuck in the shirt.

@depglass @Equuleus

At the airport recently, it appeared many had adopted the fashion attitude you speak of.

However, most looked more appropriate than the time we travelled before (summer).

Perhaps it is because they were also wearing winter coats.

The use of poly fabrics now can look shabby.

A woman came into my office today wearing that exact look...and looked very stylish! She was dressed in jeans and a shorter jacket, and had boots on. She had a very nice figure, which is (IMO) best for that look. I could not wear it myself, being plus-sized.

I actually started sporting that look myself many years ago. It just became fashionable a couple years ago, which made me chuckle. In my case, I'm very thin with a short torso and long legs. Some long, loose tops just "consumed" me, and wearing them this way just looked better on me.

i dont care for the look/style on myself, but i dont think others that do it look sloppy......is just a personal style.

Quite a few years ago, when this style was just coming out, my sister and I were in a store speaking to the owner who we spoke to quite frequently. All of a sudden my sister was whispering in her ear that part of her shirt was stuck in her pants and started to pull it out. I tapped my sister's arm and told her that was a new style. My sister looked at me like I had 2 heads. The poor owner looked a bit mortified.

I have seen young men do this with tee shirts. I don't think it is a sloppy look.

Done right I like this look on me. I think it's better if the shirttail isn't too long in the back. I do this every so oft in the warmer weather.

Awesome!

So ‘get off my lawn!’

Every decade throughout the beginning of time has had

their adult impression of ‘sloppy’.

You just know at one time, a CaveLady was ‘tsk, tsking’

at all the CaveKids playing outside because their

lion cloth was too loose.

I haven’t tucked in a short tail in 15 years. I never thought of it as a gateway to spending my life in pajamas.

Yes.

I love that look. I tend to do it with the right top.

I like a well done half tuck. I wear it often.

Yeah, there are a LOT of "sloppier" ways to dress.

Where have you been? That "half tuck" has been in style for about 5 years. It's far from sloppy, it's just a casual think like pushing up your sleeves or popping your collar. Yes, the world is becoming more casual as time goes on.

I love this look, i wear it all the time. Works really well when shirts have alot of volume in the front and that makes you look bigger when you don't tuck.

@QueenDanceALot IMO, this whole dressed down, casual look is more the norm than any others. It sure beats the sloppier look of the women I see running errands in sweatshirts and flannel pajama pants.

We are not so buttoned up and uptight as we were years ago. A more relaxed world we live in. I think it looks cute, but not cute on me personally. If I could wear that look well, perhaps I could buy more of the overly voluminous tops that are being sold as the "in thing" these days. But I can't, and I am not buying the oversized floppy tops either.

If you are thin I think it looks great, especially with jeans. Yes, I'd say we could look a lot sloppier.
