What's Normal? - Do you tuck your undershirt into your underwear when wearing it under a dress shirt ? (6 Viewers)

I just wear onesies.

I believe the term is longjohns

Is this a fat person thing?

Every FFA thing is a fat person thing.

For those wondering you don't tuck the undershirt completely down over your entire ***

 

[Nugget]

If this is a concern, the solution would be to use a garter to connect your shirt to your socks. Voted no, as this is not a concern.

You mean I can unclench now?

I wear my ice hockey garter on occasion to keep everything tight!!;

 

[Doug B]

It keeps your undershirt from coming untucked and bunching up under your dress shirt. Very effective BTW.

... I bet this is heavily dependent on a person's build and specific vagaries of their underwear (gotta have a heckuva waistband going!).

 

[Doug B]

Some of you guys are ex-military ... don't some of the dress uniforms have (sock?) garters that clip to undershirts to keep them tucked?

Thinking specifically of Navy and Marines here, but I don't see why other services would be different.

 

[BeTheMatch]

If anything is going to show I'd rather it be the shirt than the shorts

I'm having a hard time understanding the advantage of the undie-tuck. Can someone please post a pic so I can see what the point is?

 

[Gr00vus]

For me, the issue isn't the undershirt getting loose in front. It's that over the course of a few hours sitting down, standing up, sitting down, standing up, repeat - the back creeps up each time until eventually it becomes untucked. With the undershirt tucked into the underwear, that doesn't happen.

Do those snap in the crotch?

I answered NO.
... but I do tuck a sock in my underwear.

If it's underwear-undershirt-dress shirt-pants... you've got two layers of fabric sandwiched between the waistbands. The undershirt and dress shirt will slide against each other as you move through the day and eventually one will work free of the other.

On the other hand, undershirt-underwear-dress shirt-pants, then there's only one layer (dress shirt) with an elastic band on one side and a belt on the other side. It's not moving anywhere.

Yes. It is standard practice in all military dress uniforms to tuck undershirt into underwear.

Garters are often used, however they are not attached to the undershirt, but from the bottom of the dress shirt to the top of each sock.

It is all done to provide a flat front and to keep the integrity of the "gig line," which is a straight line from the middle of the neck down through the center of the belt buckle. It becomes noticeable quite quickly when the shirt gets out of alignment (and inspection demerits will quickly follow). ;-)

 

[The Z Machine]

an undershirt only when wearing a suit/dress shirt tie

Even then I often go sans undershirt. I'm not a sweaty guy so I don't think I need it. Also, 2 buttons undone from the top on every dress shirt if not wearing a tie.

 

[mr. furley]

have never heard of this in my life
how tight are these underwear, exactly?

 

[PIK95]

Underwear? Nah. Dress shirt?
Double helz nah!

 

[the moops]

I don't wear a t-shirt under my dress shirt. I wear a dress shirt like 3 times a year though - probably 1 actually. I still would never tuck it into my underwear though.

 

[gianmarco]

I do it if I really want to impress the ladies.

Otherwise, I unball it and wear it like a normal shirt.

 

[AAABatteries]

I’m surprised at the long-timers who missed the old thread. Back then I had never heard of it and tried it at the time and it works really well. But it does feel a little weird and you have to get used to it. Thankfully, I never wear dress clothes except for weddings and funerals.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

This is dumber than washing new clothes before wearing them

I rarely tuck my shirt in period. Tuck into underwear? This is a joke what's normal poll?

Wait..20% of you actually do this. No, I dont believe you

 

[shuke]

Yup. One of the greatest things ever shared here.

Nothing at all.

The larger the majority, the larger the d-bag factor when it comes to perceptions of the minority preference. Predictable human behavior.

Seems completely unnecessary.

That's like saying pizza is dumb...

At this point, I feel like people aren't reading the thread. Everybody saying they don't either hasn't tried it or never heard of it and those saying yes are ALL saying it works really well. Maybe some of you are the only people on the planet that don't have their undershirt pull up or you just don't care - either is fine but most people, overweight or not, will have their shirt move around or come untucked - this prevents it.

Never have tucked into underwear and have never come close to having an issue.

I'm wearing a t-shirt under a sweatshirt today. I'm gonna try this. Will report back.

This could be dangerous unless you also tuck in your sweatshirt. By dangerous, I mean if your sweatshirt rides up, people will see your civvies

This technique is really meant for double tuck ins

OK. Mission aborted.

Thanks for looking out for a guy.

Is a sweatshirt a dress shirt? That is the actual question, after all

At my office - yes.

 

[Manster]

I feel sorry for dudes who have to even consider this question........dress shirts are for saps

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Only when I wear a clip on tie.

hey, if the public gets a glimpse of his ketchup/mustard boxers, and he is able to avoid undershirt bunching anxiety, I call that a win-win

Me neither. I wonder if the chubbier guys need more support keeping shirts tucked.

 

[Tom Servo]

I had no idea tucking a T-shirt into your underwear was even a thing. Seems like it would be so uncomfortable to me.

I'm the reverse; why would you want your undershirt bunching up under your dress shirt?

STOP TRYING TO TURN ME ON!!

 

[El Floppo]

this is something you learn from your father if he wore a suit and tie.

it works.

it's not uncomfortable.

I don't wear a suit and tie.

 

[El Floppo]

or you learned it during your professional male modelling days.

First day wearing clothes for work since reading this thread. Figured I’d give it a try. Gotta change my answer, I’ll be tucking from now on.

yeah same - I never did this until seeing that thread, probably 20 years ago, and now do it most all the time. I once mentioned it to a friend and he told me if he saw me doing that, like in a locker room or something, he would immediately punch me in the throat. I made a conscious decision not to teach my son this, or even let him see me in that state of dressing, just to spare him the throat punches in his developing years.

that is a good friend take that to the bank brohan
