There are varying degrees of the french-tuck.Ideally, you should go with a mid to high rise bottom to achieve the best french tuck. They will highlight the widest part of your hips and in order to balance out these proportions you will need to have a very long shirt. Low rise pants will be much harder to french tuck. Too much structure will not cause the “waterfall” we are going for. However blazers, structured pieces, or super heavy items should not generally be half-tucked. Shackets, and thick sweaters can be done using the side french tuck (where only one side of the front of the top is tucked in). Make sure the weight of your shirt isn’t too heavy.Let me know if these tips were helpful or if you have any tips I didn’t include. I also linked some sweaters below in case you’re in the market. Instead, I’d wear leggings or skinnies and let the sweater be completely untucked for a more casual feel. You’ll want to avoid anything too bulky and with a long hem.

TIP FIVE // Not all sweaters are made for tucking You can see I’ve styled outfits with and without belts – it just depends on what kind of look you’re going for. My answer is no, but it’s really personal preference.
I’ve gotten some questions about whether or not you have to be wearing a belt to tuck in a sweater. TIP FOUR // You don’t have to be wearing a belt It’s the same concept as the bra tuck, it just works for slightly shorter sweaters.
Second, if your sweater isn’t long enough to tuck your bra, another option is to wear a skinny belt around your natural waist under your sweater and tuck the sweater up and under the belt. First, if your sweater is long enough, you simply take your hem and tuck it up under your bra.

One of the best tips I’ve learned over the years is how to avoid bulk in your midsection when tucking in a sweater. The shorter hem will you avoid bulk and the slightly wider French tuck will show off the embellishment. If you have jeans like this (or any pants/a skirt with embellishments at the waist), I recommend going for a sweater with a shorter hem and tucking it just a bit wider. The fly itself makes a statement so I didn’t want it and the sweater competing too much. You can see in the image at the top I’m wearing jeans with a button fly. TIP TWO // Highlight details on your pants It gives off that chic, effortless vibe I think we all aim for. What this means is you only tuck in a few inches of your sweater in the center front.
