Use a Military Tuck to Keep Dress Shirts from Billowing at the Waist

You should feel great wearing a good dress shirt you just bought, not like a kid in his dad's work clothes. Use a military-style tuck to prevent billowing, or "blousing," around your belt line.

Australian styling and fashion blog A Good Man provides five steps toward tucking in shirts that fit in such a way that they seem to blow out and over the top of your belt, making it look like you're carrying water for a long desert trip. In short, it involves pinching excess fabric at the sides of your waist, then pulling up that fabric and fastening your belt line around it.

Sound a little confusing? Hit the link below to see a detailed diagram of how it should work. Of course, going to a good tailor is the best solution, particularly if your shirt needs more help than a little tuck can fix.
