How do you usually style your shirt? Are you type to tuck it in or leave it loose?

Can’t come up with the third option? Then you should try “the French Tuck.”

TikTok star Fashion Mom (@stylehard) posted a video demonstrating how to style a French Tuck with a relatively plain outfit–a white button-up shirt and a pair of ripped blue jeans.

“Let me show you how to make this boring outfit way more fashionable, and it’s not gonna cost you a single dollar,” the TikToker began her video with the white shirt untucked.

She then tucked the shirt in–but only the front while the back stayed loose and out.

Fashion Mom continued to explain that Tan France popularized this style from Queer Eye. “It’s like business in the front and party in the back,” she added while showing both sides of her outfit.

“It’s a mullet shirt.”

The “French tuck” is also known as the “half-tuck” or “one-hand tuck” that can define your waistline while still allowing the draping effect of a longer, looser top.

When done right, this type of tuck is excellent at balancing the proportions of one’s outfit.

“It’s so cute. It’s so chic. It makes your outfit more fashionable and more stylish,” the TikToker said. “And the best part? It’s free.”

The 34-second video has received 1.1 million views and over 200 comments. People agreed with this style, while some of them already seemed familiar with it.

“That’s how I used to wear my uniform 10 years ago,” mab_intshi commented.

“I love that, and I don’t know who introduced that. I have been doing that for the last few years!” @tamara3527 said.

“I’ve been ticking like that all my years. So I thought that’s how it’s supposed to be done,” Nady_Boity wrote.

Have you ever heard of the French Tuck before it was named?
