French tuck

Partial front tuck

A French tuck is the styling technique of tucking just the front of a shirt into pants or a skirt while leaving the back untucked.

The partial tuck creates a casual but intentional look, defining the waist without appearing overly formal.

The term gained popularity through the Netflix series *Queer Eye*: He gave me a French tuck and suddenly the whole outfit looked better.
