Throw it on and go? Not so fast…an untucked button-up shirt needs a quick length check before you start your day.
To determine the perfect fit, find a full-length mirror and see where the hemline hits you.
Anything above that is not likely a good fit for your build and won’t be easy to tuck in without coming loose―and anything longer is meant to be worn tucked into chinos or jeans.
Find a shirt that’s designed to be worn untucked, if you want to rock a modern style. A straighter hemline rather than a classic curve is a great indicator. Often, a thicker and slightly more structured fabrication will follow.
