Tucking a shirt

Relentless81 · 15 Jul 2011 at 18:02

I never, ever, ever ever ever took my shirt in, at work I wear casual short sleaved shirts because I find it really uncomfortable but mostly its because of this, how the hell do you stop the mushroom effect where its tucked in!? It drives me bonkers!!!!

I'm going to a wedding after party tomorrow and bought a new shirt which is "slim fit" apparently, just tried it on and there is excess shirt where its tucked in, argh :mad:

Rant complete

Excess shirt?

Tuck it in properly?

From what you have said it sounds like you are bunching it up, it should be flat.

Wear a waistcoat and use it to hide the shroom.

Man up.

Shirt on before belting up.

Should be in the forum T&Cs to be honest.

Unless they're going for a full 3-piece, it'll feature on every other guy in the room. Unbunch your panties and turn your mind to more important things, like whether your cufflinks are appropriate.

Are you wearing your trousers round your butt, like gangster pants?

Relentless81 · 15 Jul 2011 at 18:08

It is tucked in and flat but it still does it, no way i'm wearing a jacket or waist coat, I dont have one and i'm not buying one either i'm skint and no the pants are quite slim fitting

If you're that worried, waistcoat.

Relentless81 · 15 Jul 2011 at 18:10

I'm not really worried about it, I just dont understand why it happens and it gets on my nerves but i'll just deal with it

Raymond Lin · 15 Jul 2011 at 18:10

Sounds like the shirt is too big.

Relentless81 · 15 Jul 2011 at 18:14

Its my exact collar size and fits perfectly until I tuck it in

Get a shirt that fits?

Shirt on, trousers over the top.

Trousers should sit on your waist tightly, the belt is for extra tightness / effect.

Get some reading glasses

I could ask SWAMBO to wash it for you in her special way.

I've read the thread but if it mushrooms, it DOES NOT fit.

Robosapien · 15 Jul 2011 at 18:24

WTF are you on about. Just tuck the shirt in?

The best way to avoid this is to seek therapy for your OCD.
