I see that more host (Mary on the Lock n' Lock show) wearing their top half tucked. What is this big attraction. Julia almost always wears her tops that way. It looks sloppy and unkept. I noticed Rachael on ITKWDavid wears her tops the same. What is it that the host and vendors like to show the button and zipper on their jeans. I would love to know who started this fashion mistake.


Yeah, burns me  up. Even overweight people are doing it. I'm not showing my big gut why I buy tunics and jackets.   People look ridiculous. Think that was Meghan Markle that started that poop.

My Mom would have said "when was the last time you looked in the mirror"

Or "are you going out looking  like that"

SharkE I agree my tops cover my belly. The only thing is some of the untuck crowd do have guts.  I guess the style is let it all hang out.

And even in those photos of "the proper way", the look still looks sloppy to me.  I guess I just don't get it.

@SharkE Meghan Markle did not start the half tuck. This is nothing new and has been around for YEARS.

Supposedly when her and Harry went to a sporting event over in England she had that going on then everybody jumped on band wagon. Picture online.

 

I've never seen it before the past few yrs. Hope, it fades like most trends

The half tuck was first seen on the runway in France.  It became mainstream in 2010, so it has been around for quite a while.

 

It was popularized by fashion expert Tan France on Nexflex's Queer Eye, but he didn't " invent the look."

I first saw the "front tuck" on a "General Hospital" character a decade ago, so it's been around a while. It can look nice, in my own opinion, if it's done neatly (not wrinkly, and not halfway done) and if the person has the tummy for it. I could never in a million years get awY with it.

I think it depends on the person's body shape and style who can wear the half and front tuck.

I agrre. Julia does not have a professional vibe. In my opinion, she tries too hard and comes off as phoney. When she is on In The Kitchen With Mary, I change the channel. I guess I will just watch David.
