Whatever you do, don't button the buttons all the way to the top unless you are going to wear a tie

I prefer untucked. It's more comfortable.

So go into your closet and count the number of Hawaiian print shirts that you have. If you have more than one, you are already fat.

This feels like a personal attack, and it's not wrong.

Shirt is never ever tucked in, unless I'm at the office, on the golf course (and even then, maybe only a 25% of the time), or the rare wedding / funeral.

Who gives a shirt?

If it has tails it should be tucked. If it has a straight hem it can be untucked.

Don't tuck a tshirt, you look like a dork.

Don't tuck a fishing shirt, it's supposed to be breezy and airy. And don't wear one to dress up.

Polos are a sometimes, depending on what pants/shorts you're wearing and the situation. They're about like jeans, can dress up or down a little.

Always tuck a dress shirt when wearing a suit or tie.

Ok boys now it is time for us to have a talk. I am 72 and still have a 34" waist because I have always worn a belt and tucked in my shirt.....I am sure it has something to do with a parochial school education.

Look belly fat is damn near impossible to lose. It is also deadly. Belts have notches. They are the early warning sign that you are turning into a slob. When you have to back off a notch you have added 5-10 pounds.

I think this practice of wearing your shirt tails out is the product of our obese society. The fat came first then everyone rationalize how good they looked when that hunk of protoplasm wasn't hanging over your belt. I know some of you are not concerned about fashion. So go into your closet and count the number of Hawaiian print shirts that you have. If you have more than one, you are already fat. I suggest that when you are the size of a sperm whale, a bold Hawaiian print might not be the best selection.

I appreciate that advise from an old fart is not generally well received among the intelligentsia on this board. Make a metal note. When you are 72, add up how many of your friends are already horizontal because of those conditions associated with being over weight.
