How to Wear Shirt Stays

One of the biggest problems with wearing a suit, is that your shirt always seems to come un-tucked. No matter what you do, it seems that the moment you move, you look all rumpled and a mess. So instead of constantly tucking and re-tucking your shirt, you should wear shirt stays. Here's how.

Things You'll Need

• Shirt stays

Instructions

1. Dress yourself partially, being sure that you are wearing socks that reach at least the mid-calf. Your underwear should be on as well as the shirt you are planning to wear.

2. Clip the shirt stay onto your sock so that it is on the outer part of your leg. Repeat with another shirt stay on the other leg.

3. Fasten the other end of the shirt stay to the base of your shirt using the clip. Repeat on the other side as well. You should feel a slight bit of tension from the shirt stay. Otherwise, you will be easily un-tucked.

4. Pull up your pants and fasten your belt. Now you are fully dressed.

Tips & Warnings

• Shirt stays can be purchased online or at department stores. Ask a sales associate as they can sometimes be hidden.

• Never tuck your shirt into your underwear. That's a sure fire way to have your underwear ride up and be visible above your pant line.
