People who tuck shirts in when not wearing a suit are obviously batshit crazy.

Eliminate the shirt altogether and say you thought it was "beach casual"

Keep it untucked, but well fit. It'll be fine.
- Yes. As long as it's not too long and it fits well.Jaline

Tuck it in. Only if you have a nice belt to complement it though.

If they're the more formal shirts with longer shirt tails I'd say tuck it. They look sloppy when they're untucked. The fitted, shorter tailed shirts I'd leave out.

No one is going to fire you for tucking in your shirt.

Q: I love wearing a suit with no tie (think Tom Ford), but I can never find dress shirts with collars rigid enough to stand strong against my jacket lapels. Is there a style of collar that I should look for?

Whats wrong with an untuck? What is the history behind its corporate frownage?

Jeez!
Shirts tucked in or out entirely depends, as Jaline says, on the cut of the shirt. Whether it is short enough to be worn untucked or not.
If it's not designed to be untucked, then it just looks like you haven't tucked it in. One designed to be untucked will look smart enough and have a clean enough line so that noone will think it's untucked and it will look as smart. Especially with the right shoes.- <3Jaline
- That's exactly what I meant.Jaline
- Deep Thoroughlogy. But about this business of untucking, why is this is 'unsmart'?philipdrumman
