Let me know if these tips were helpful or if you have any tips I didn’t include.The women’s French tuck should be a tool in everybody’s day-to-day arsenal of styling methods. I also linked some sweaters below in case you’re in the market. Instead, I’d wear leggings or skinnies and let the sweater be completely untucked for a more casual feel.

The fly itself makes a statement so I didn’t want it and the sweater competing too much. You can see in the image at the top I’m wearing jeans with a button fly.
TIP TWO // Highlight details on your pants It gives off that chic, effortless vibe I think we all aim for. What this means is you only tuck in a few inches of your sweater in the center front.
