While there are plenty of casual situations where it's just fine to wear an unbuttoned, un-tucked shirt with a tee underneath, it's hard to look better with this approach than you would by simply tucking your shirt in. ''Always'' tuck in dress shirts that hang past your hips.

Just as most dress shirts are made to be worn tucked, most polos and tees are meant to be worn un-tucked. When properly-fitted, these sorts of shirts should hang right up against your belt or the waist of your pants. You can tell this by looking at the way the bottom of a polo or tee differs from the bottom of a dress shirt most will have a flat bottom edge, rather than long shirttails in front and in back. The exception here is when you have to wear an exceptionally-long tee or polo. In these cases, tucking the extra material in usually makes you look a little better. You can tuck in normal-length polos and tees as well, but this can sometimes give them an overly-tight appearance.
