When should you wear your business shirt out? There are certain situations where you can give it a crack.
You can sport an untucked shirt, just make sure you identify the right time to give it a go. Pick the wrong time and you can look untidy, messy or just lazy.
The main rule
Judge your situation or know your event. Business shirts should be worn according to what you are attending.
- Always be tucked in at a formal event.
- A business meeting in your workplace, looking clean with your business shirt tucked in is usually a necessity.
- An event at a hotel or pub in the middle of summer, perfect time to have a go at going the untucked look.
I would suggest to not wear your business shirts tucked in all day then untuck for your casual after work function. Your style can be ruined if you can see creases in your business shirt below your belt. This will make you look untidy.
What business shirts are you wearing?
Certain shirts are made to wear tucked in. You can get away with a short hem but a large hem is hard to pull off. Business shirts untucked should be basically ending just below your belt. Business shirts that are shorter look a lot better than if they are to long. slim fit business shirts often look the best untucked. They tend have minimal fabric around the waist and chest and a tapered look untucked business shirt is where it’s at.
Just make sure when wearing your business shirts in a casual manner your doing it right.
