Tucking can completely change the look and balance of an outfit, but should you tuck all the way around or leave it relaxed?

Here’s my take:

When your skirt and top are the same colour:

Think of it like a dress. 

With no strong colour break, you can fully tuck, even at the back, without drawing attention to a harsh transition line.

This creates a seamless, elongating effect.




When your top and skirt are different colours:

This is where the details matter. I love a top with side splits as it allows for a soft drape at the back while creating a gentle tucked curve at the front.

The side split keeps the fabric from pulling across your tummy or hips, giving a flattering finish.



A nice little cut on the curve at the back of your top adds extra leg length at the sides.
