What Your Shirt Tuck Says About You

Ever since the popularization of the half-tuck (we have Phoebe Philo to thank for that), we’ve taken the way we tuck our tops into pants or skirts fairly seriously. After all, an outfit can be rapidly transformed simply by playing with various methods. So to give you some inspiration on how to get the most wear out of your favorite blouses, we rounded up six standout looks you can try today and threw in a little shopping because it’s Friday. Enjoy!
