The biggest secret to getting a shirt that stays tucked in all day is to have a shirt that fits you properly. More specifically, you have to look at the following things.

1. Get long shirt tails

Dress shirts are traditionally longer in the back and in the front but shorter on the sides so there's not too much excess fabric.
2. Small tight armholes

2. Small, tight armholes.
The proper fit of an armhole is relatively tight; that means there's not much excess fabric around your armpit and your shoulders. It fits very close.

3. Sleeves

Right now, it's very popular to have slim sleeves and that's okay but you should always make sure to have a little bit of fabric in the top part around your biceps.

For classic evening shirts, back in the day, men wore a bib insert that was either starched or marcella. They were quite stiff and so when people would sit or dance, they needed a little latch on the shirt that was able to be buttoned into the pants and that way, it would not move at all, all night. Unlike shirt garters, you can easily undo that very quickly, you don't notice it and it really serves the proper purpose of not having your shirt come undone or move around because it's connected to the pants.

If you have a body that's symmetrical or if you have issues with getting your shirt untucked, I suggest you invest in a custom shirt because you can really make sure that you get a tight armhole, that you can get a fitted shirt and you get the extra amount in your sleeve that is not too wide.

If you still want shirt stays for nostalgic reasons, try these.

Finally someone who is not talking about shirt stays!
I was actually always wondering why everybody had such a problem with their dress shirts getting untucked. I never really had that problem, because I made sure that I got the perfect fit. I actually can't remember the last time, my shirt got fully untucked.
Great video!

The part about the date and shirt garders was hilarious.

You are undoubtedly the best when it comes to teaching mens fashion. The time and effort you put into research and then the way you explain them in such minute detail is simply superb! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos man. I hope more and more people subscribe to your channel because what you talk about is pure gold. Keep doing the good work 👍

[corporate.security]

lol the date part is the best part of this video.

[SaulWilliamss]

when you mentioned the armholes the X-files theme song started playing in my mind. It seems to me that unlike other style bloggers (*cough alpham *cough tmf *cough rmrs) you're not just advertising products but actually know all there is to know about men's clothing.

For the guys who are wanting to up their style game, but can't afford $100s of dollars per clothing item, here's a pro-tip: Find a good working used sewing machine from the 1960's and learn how to use it. Then look for shirts at Goodwill or other thrift shops, but be REALLY selective. Then use YouTube to learn how to very easily tailor the upper arm and sides of the shirt in for a closer fit. Once you are really confident with the machine, you can start to make stuff too, like vests or bow ties. I love my old Singer 237. It's a high precision power tool, and what guy doesn't love power tools!!

Having just purchased my first made-to-measure shirt, I find that everything in this video is very true! However, I do think using shirt stays is an excellent way to alleviate the untucking problem until I upgrade my wardrobe to made-to-measure.

You got a good laugh mentioning the crucial moment of the date 😂

Thanks Raphael, you're my favorite fashion youtuber.

[tailoredgentleman]

Great video, now I can finally relax without having the worry to tuck in my shirt multiple times!

[willreyes]

Alpha, RMRS, TMF and this channel are all very entertaining and helpful. Thanks.

He's teaching me everything that my father haven't.

Ive been looking for this video for so long. Out of all your videos, i think every man needs to watch this

[guillermovaladez]

Hello Raphael. Thank you very much for posting your videos, they are very educational and enlightening to those who wish to dress and behave like gentlemen. This video about keeping shirts tucked in is brilliant and I want to ask if you would ever do a video on the different methods of keeping trousers up, specifically the use of belts, braces, or adjusters and possibly discussing their pros and cons. I think you would be the perfect man for this dicussion. I would really appreciate such a video. Again, thanks for you hard work and kind attention.

[rodrigodelgado]

Anybody who has a good fitting shirt already knows this, it is a shame that other youtubers promoted those funny things in your socks instead of telling the truth.

[SomeTenth]

Thank you for all those videos, you made someone who wouldn't give two cents about his looks take it more seriously!

[LuisDiaz-lkpf]

Thank you so much for this great video. You answered so many of my questions. You're a great teacher and you're chanel is very informative.

[quannguyen]

This is a very educative video! I agree with your analysis: slim body, small armhole, big sleeve. But you often have to go to bespoke or very high end shirts (as attaching a big sleeve into a small armhole is tricky). I feel shirt stays are over killed. A simple and cheap fix I use is 2 rubber strips inside the trousers band. It's quite effective, even though not really solves the problem completely.

Great video. Straight to the point and no bullshit.

[StyleArchitexts]

I always enjoy your videos. Great insight into how we are thinking about shirting!
