I noticed at the gym today that most men leave their shirts untucked.
When I was younger only fat people didn't tuck their shirts. (I'm assuming to hide their gut.) Now even thin guys are leaving their shirts untucked.
This could have been going on for years and I'm just now noticing.
For me it just screams "uptight." I would only tuck in if in a suit or tuxedo (uptight outfits to begin with).
The worst is either jeans with tucked in t-shirt, or some sort of "dress shorts" with tucked in polo.
You tuck at the gym?! That just screams "old fart."
No one tucks t-shirts unless they are old or weird.
Tuck your dress shirt, your work shirt, etc. t-shirts are not designed to be tucked.
If I wear a belt, I tuck the shirt in.
According to subject matter experts you only tuck your shirt for formal dress.
I think you're required to if you're wearing a hip number
But do you do The Tuck?
A shirt that isn't made to be tucked in shouldn't be long enough to tuck in anyway. If your t-shirt or polo actually fits, you'll only be able to tuck an inch or two of the shirt into your pants, meaning that it is going to pull loose as you move.
Leave shirt out and button the bottom button.

I think that's a good rule.
I did tuck my race singlet into my shorts because that is proper for a uniform.
But some don't. I think it looks sloppy to race untucked.
Un-tucking of the shirt has been acceptable, if not preferable, for a while now.
Leaving a shirt un-tucked does the following things: (1) It says you're relaxed. (2) It aligns you with youth. (3) On shorter men it creates the look of a longer torso, making them look taller or more formidable. (4) On men who have a stocky build it puts less material at the hips, which in turn makes them look more masculine for the reason that it looks less feminine. (5) It is less cumbersome when you're walking, running, or otherwise moving because there's less material jostling around down there. (6) You won't get as sweaty at the waist, pant-line, and crotch, which cleans up your appeal. (7) It allows you to buy a smaller-sized pant or short. (8) It allows you to be lazier because you don't have to do the work of tucking your shirt in, and constantly worrying about how misaligned it has become.
The only time I'd tuck in my shirt is for formal dress, a formal occasion, or if my boss threatens to fire me (and even then I might not). Un-tucking your shirt is freedom! lol
