I usually begin untucking by raising my hands over my head. If you tuck in your sweater focusing on it being smooth and even in the front and having any bulk gathered at the small of your back, you can use blousing as a way to redistribute that bulk. I bloused it out a bit to make space for the gathering. Tucking a sweater into a belted skirt see more of this look at this linkįor this look where I tucked a sweater into a skirt that was fitting a bit snugly that morning, you can see from this side view that I kept the sweater completely smooth from front to the sides and let the gathering happen at the small of the back. You may think it will spotlight your stomach but somehow having the front smooth and the back a bit gathered de-emphasizes those curves. Try it, especially if you aren't comfortable tucking in tops. By having a bit of bulk in the back of your look, it balances everything nicely. Most of us curve in at the small of our back and curve out on the opposite side. However, focusing on the front made it so the front looked polished, not sloppy which made the back look purposeful and not like I missed a part when I pulled up my jeans that morning. You can see in some photos in the original outfit post that the back didn't stay bloused under. By doing this, the front ended up being tucked in beyond the slits, which helped the back part blouse under on its own. I only tucked in the front part of the sweater, but I again employed focusing on the front of my look.

And more often than not, that's where I stop tucking in my sweater.

And then I carefully tuck from center to side seams, smoothing to ensure there isn't any pleating or gathering. I make sure the sweater is lined up correctly with the center of my skirt, jeans, or pants. When I tuck in a sweater, I start front and center. I will share these styling tricks below with examples of different times I have tucked in a sweater. Rarely is my sweater completely tucked in, and even when it is, it is adjusted just so as to look less bulky.
