Is it my imagination or did that guy get seriously short changed in the leg department?

If you ask me, this look is 100% pure fail. The fabric and stiff collars/cuffs are from dress shirting, they have no place on a casual untucked shirt. The details (red stripe, pockets) are extremely tacky.

I agree.

I think it's an age thing. OCBD with Jeans in mid-20s is almost a MUST UNTUCK

Wearing untucked looks sloppy. If your shirt is too long when you wear it untucked it is because you are wearing a dress shirt instead a casual shirt.

I never tuck in, not as comfortable when i am kicking ass.

All depends on the shirt and event I'm attending.

If I don't tuck, I always roll the sleeves and leave the bottom button unbuttoned (that's an OCD thing than a style thing tho).

If I wear a sportscoat, I always tuck.

With a nice steerhide belt it will work if you're slim. I'd roll my sleeves up though.

Leave it hanging out for as long as you feel envy for the AmJack species.

When it is tucked in it is harder to pull it up to cover your face from the security cameras I suppose.

id love to tuck in my ocbds but it just looks weird. i think i have a short torso or something so i guess that means ill have to find lower rise trousers/jeans to make my torso look longer when i tuck it in.

Am I the only person that hates OCBDs?

Regardless, I usually tuck in my dress shirts and I wear jeans 90% of the time. Although, for someone my age, it is context dependent.
