Definition
The back and often the sides remain outside the waistband. This creates more definition in the front while keeping the overall look relaxed.
In simple words
The technique shows the waistband, visually lengthens the leg line and prevents a wide top from completely covering the body. It works particularly well with soft shirts, t-shirts and knits. However, on very stiff or short tops, the asymmetrical amount of fabric can appear unsteady.
What to pay attention to
- Only tuck in enough fabric to create a clear but not taut area at the front.
- Check the side view for dents and excessive bulk.
- Make sure the waistband, belt and clasp are visible enough to be the focal point.
Common misconceptions
The French Tuck isn’t a top that just happened to slip halfway out. The loose asymmetry is deliberately formed.
ESKYNA note
Clarity at the front, casualness at the back - the French Tuck combines both with one small move.
