  • - Here are a few things you should

  • probably be doing with your shirts.

  • When wearing a white dress shirt,

  • undershirts of the same color usually show through.

  • A grey undershirt is typically less visible,

  • as it more closely matches the value of skintone.

  • An easy way to get a good sleeve roll

  • is to pull the cuff up like so,

  • and fold the sleeve over it here.

  • Jack Kennedy did it this way,

  • so it's probably good enough for you.

  • Simply shoving your shirt into your pants

  • can cause severe muffin-topping.

  • To get a clean tuck, grab the bottom of the shirt

  • and fold the fabric back at the side seams.

  • This hides extra fabric and is great

  • for shirts that are particularly wide.

  • Or you could just buy shirts that actually fit.

  • And while we're on the subject of tucking,

  • shirts with the longer, curved tails

  • are designed to be tucked.

  • Shirts with flat bottoms are better suited

  • for leaving untucked.

  • And those little sleeves on your collar

  • are for collar stays.

  • Use them to achieve a more clean, formal look.

  • Want to update an old shirt?

  • You can turn a shirt collar into a band collar.

  • Simply cut off the collar here.

  • You can also pull the stitching,

  • remove the collar, and resew it,

  • but you're probably gonna [bleep] that up.
