The Shirt Inside or Out?

We solve one of the biggest concerns of men over shirts. With this post you will know (once and for all) when it is better to wear the shirt inside or out of the pants.

The dilemma about men’s shirts

Do you know when to put your shirt inside? And in contrast: in which cases it is better off? It is a question that many men ask us when we dress and even then, we still do not have a clear answer of the subject.

Then we will help you solve this aesthetic dilemma that worries you so much. We want to make it clear when it is ideal to wear the shirt inside and in which cases it is better to wear the shirt outside.

When to wear the shirt inside

1. The formal shirts always go inside (you will distinguish them by their rigid necks and their front and back length)
2. In formal situations (usually, whenever dressed in a suit or blazer)
3. When the finish of the garment is circular
4. When it is too long (when it is placed under the zipper and covers the buttocks at the back)
5. If you have low stature (wearing it on the outside generates a troublesome effect as it visually reduces leg length)
6. If you have a V-shaped silhouette
7. If you want to emphasize the physical
8. If vest is worn and shirt is too long
9. If the dress code is more rigid and requires you

“If your height is low, it is best to wear a shirt inside with vertical stripes, you will stylize the body and it visually gives you more height.” Zabeth, personal shopper of fashiop.com

How to correctly insert the shirt inside?

We recommend using the military method. And you ask yourself: what is it and how does it apply? It’s very simple. We explain with 8 steps according to psyknowhow:

1. Important: forget to wear it without a mirror and with the pants already raised
2. Put the shirt on, button it and pull it down
3. Pull up the trousers and tighten them
4. Find the side pleats of the shirt and pull them back to apply pressure
5. Lift breast to loosen excess pressure
6. Put on a belt (essential to hold all the garments well)
7. Remove the shirt a little (maximum 3 cm)
8. Align the buttons with the zipper

When to wear the shirt on the outside

1. In casual and summery looks
2. When the finish of the shirt is straight
3. If it is of Lino or Hawaina type (they are better by the fall of the textile)
4. If it’s a short sleeve shirt
5. If you have a very large body trunk
6. If you have a short waist and the garment is tight
7. Usually if they are soft neck or hand collar
8. If you have a very tall height and you want to reduce the visual effect of long legs
