In or Out

My wife and I are having an argument.

I'm wearing jeans and a gray turtleneck that untucked comes down about 6 inches below my belt. I say it should be tucked in, she says it should be out.

Who is right?

Well...I know what I'd do in this case. I would default to my wife's opinion as she has much better fashion sense than I do. :-)

Other questions that come to mind are:
1.) Which way is the most comfortable for you?
2.) Which way looks best to you?
3.) Which way would you wish to be seen in public?
4.) Is it worth an argument with your wife?

Toss it. No more argument...LOL!

Never, ever tuck when you have the option...period. You run the risk of losing your salvation.

"You run the risk of losing your salvation." A genuine out-loud laugh.

Jeremy: I'm under the turtle-neck dispensation. Does that apply?

Well, I tucked in, my wife submitted and I looked like a jacked-up old man. I've since repented and I'm now typing this comment with my shirt as out as Vanilla Ice.

I think a lot depends on how high your pants are: if your pants are sitting on your waist, you can camouflage it by untucking your shirt. Or for that matter, if your pants are too low, the untucked shirt can cover that up as well--although if your pants are too low and your shirt is 6 inches below the waistband, I'd say both the pants and the shirt are too big and should be ditched. :)

My question would be: What kind of turtleneck is it?

What kind of material? And even more importantly- is it ribbed? (ribbed shirts ALWAYS look better untucked, IMHO)

I think you should post pictures- one tucked, one untucked- that way we can REALLY decide... for future reference of course... since you picked correctly for today...

simple... the woman is always right LOL... if not, they'll find a way for us to look stupid

Plumber potential. Tuck it in.

K, so I'm a big non-tucker. If it were up to me, I'd never tuck my shirt in. Too bad for that dang 'business casual' thing.

The things we talk about...
