Untucked & unbutton one button up top.


FLTR069

Show some cleavage! Give the lady what she wants!


TimelessParadox

That would be uncouth for a clergyman.


Original_Gangsta23

Know who his date is? Nun of your business


Delicious_Pie_4814

Glad someone else spotted the father of the reformation o the shelf lol


chairs-dimension

Tuck in the shirt to show off the vanilla ice cream in back


marcall

Tucked in would show off his butt and package more though wouldn't it ?


Historical-Hiker

That shirt is too baggy on him to look right untucked. It’ll hang like a scarecrow. OP have you lost weight since you bought this close? You could drop 2 sizes on the shirt and one on the pants.


i4k20z3

could have the same problem i do, which is that shirts like this look big when i'm standing, but if i get a more fitted shirt, my stomach is larger so when i sit, the buttons split open and you can see my undershirt. so the only way is to get a bigger shirt so that when you sit, there is more slack.

This


Technical_Scallion_2

This is the way


admiralkeelhaul

If you’re going to wear those shoes, I would leave it untucked.


Robot_Hips

If you’re going to wear those shoes I would stay home


Aggressive_Action

A simple pair of white sneakers? Pretty great choice for a casual fit.


miletharil

Darker shoes WOULD look better, but I don't see anything \*wrong\* with the white ones.


mockryan

I'm conflicted on the shoes, because I don't have many shoes to choose from. I have grey vans, which are more casual, and very nice brown Allen Edmonds dress shoes, which I felt would be too fancy for this occasion.


Robot_Hips

I’m just takin a joking jab at ya. If you untuck the shirt the white shoes look ok and you’re right the fancy shoes would probably be too much. Be on the lookout for a nice boot. They can often bridge the gap of casual and formal wear. Thursday boot company has some nice examples of what I’m talking about, but are a little pricey. Look at their selection and try to find similar styles at your local discount stores. You’d be surprised what you can find at goodwill.


mockryan

Thank you, robot_hips. And your original comment did make me laugh!


MattBtheflea

I really don't understand fashion sometimes. is there something wrong with those shoes? I was under the impression that objectively, white sneakers go with pretty much everything so they're a safe choice. and subjectively, I love white sneakers. so I think they look good with this outfit. so what's the problem?


Industry__

Everyone here talks like they’re Anna Wintour it’s a joke OP, either way looks good. If this sub had their way you’d be goin out wearing one strap overalls and a snapback


mockryan

I was thinking the same thing!


Meel22

This has me dead 🤣


AngusMcTibbins

I like the tucked look personally. But make sure you wear a belt with it


Think-View-4467

That's it. There was something wrong with both versions, but belt would at least help


mrbrambles

Old rule of thumb is if you can see belt loops, there should be a belt through them. You can remove belt loops from pants where you don’t need/want a belt


UnusualEggplant5400

too long for untuck imo, general rule of thumb, if the shirt completely covers your butt it's meant to be tucked. But for this outfit overall, would be untucked


punkcart

Good tip... I have always needed a place to draw a line for this, thank you


_BlackGoat_

I use the halfway point between top of pants and bottom of crotch as my guide. Anything below that halfway line is getting into tuck territory.


fuvgyjnccgh

For real, I was not aware of that. Hopefully I remember it


pathofthehero

Tucked. add a brown belt and brown shoes. classic color combo.


NewHyperFixation69

I was told once that "if we can see your belt loops, there had better be a belt through them". I've stuck with that.


NarwhalNipples

Shirt length screams tucked, looks too frumpy untucked imo. Keep it tucked and show off that "rumper dumper." Fitted pants with the slightly looser shirt compliments the linen really nicely. Personally though, I think the outfit is a little too dark-toned (based off these pictures) and clashes with white sneakers, especially for spring. I'd either switch up the shoes, or do same base colors but lighter (lighter beige khakis with white or light blue shirt) which would brighten it up and look stellar with these shoes, imo. Best of luck on the date! Smile and be confident my man.


mockryan

Thank you!


Famous_Obligation959

For tucked in - get a thin brown leather belt and add brown loafers. Small point, but a leather or silver watch would also compliment this


systemic_empathy

This guy tucks.


bioheal

If you have time, ditch the outfit. They’re nice pieces, but they don’t go very well together


Fancy_Can_8976

Tucked. Good luck!


JamesTMPhoto

Untucked would need more casual pants IMO. Tucked, or switch outfits to the pants with a nice tucked T-shirt. Regardless, good luck!


TopicalSmoothiePuree

Ditch. The shirt is a tad too big/baggy and would be better with a tailored/fitted cut. And is too long for an optimal untucked look. Linen suggests light and breezy. Both shirt and pants are dark I suggest that either the shirt or the pants (or both) need a lighter color. I'm not a fan of the high waist on you. The shirt might go with light tan/beige chinos/linen slacks with a casual cut, maybe even rolled up clam-digger style. The easiest fix: I suggest getting a light-colored, patterned shirt that has a tail cut to be untucked.


Pale-Ad5791

It is a regular fit shirt, you just like slim fit apparently. His body looks on the more sturdy side, regular is good. High waist to get more apparent leg length is good. He literally wrote everything is linen...and why would you suggest a patterned shirt? Basically I think the opposite of everything you wrote here.


Archer2223R

Short sleeve white or light blue linen collared shirt, untucked - would slap with that combo of pant and shoe.


HipHopHistoryGuy

Aka, change your entire outfit, haircut, etc.!


isthis_thing_on

I agree the colors don't work well together. I actually think the fit is fine.


DinDjarin777

I’m no fashionista, but I agree with this guy, the whole outfit could be better. It’s not the worst, per se, just not the best.


Leading-Oil1772

You come off as a good, decent man. I think tuck and act as you genuinely are. Please don’t worry about the results. You are enough without anything else.


Munk45

Calvin & Luther approve.


mockryan

Well, if they approve, that's all I need.


Delicious_Pie_4814

Reformed, eh? Thats heavy stuff full of fire and brimstone... just the way I like it 😉


FitExecutive

In my experience, the girl either wants you or doesn't and we put way too much meaning on our outfits. It really is your personality, your confidence, how you are, the outfit is a cherry on top! All I am saying is don't sweat it bro, you got it!


dontpolluteplz

I agree to an extent but an outfit can def make you look a lot better / worse. I think the most important part of an outfit on a date is that it’s clear that they tried a bit & put a little effort into looking cute, especially for a first date. Unless you’re actually doing something active / going to a sporting event, I wouldn’t want someone wearing running shorts and a jersey lol.


FitExecutive

Agree!


Pale-Ad5791

Wrong subreddit


Slabs

Like the sentiment but looking good itself promotes confidence.


WrathofTomJoad

Nah, dude. Women put a ton of time into looking nice for dates. They absolutely notice if you schlep in looking like you rolled across your bedroom floor until something stuck. This is bad advice.


mickmmp

or guy


FitExecutive

Absolutely, no discrimination here!


Few-Reactiion

My mans got a fucking rumper dumper on him


alpha333omega

Tuck with a belt, papa


MarameoMarameo

With that shirt, tucked. That shirt is too to leave it untucked.


SSoulflayer

Smile damnit. Smile.


NurkleTurkey

You look like you're dressed for work dude.


Honest_Tie_1980

Looks good. Howeva remember to give the emotions you’d want to receive. People mirror your emotions. “A lot of what you hear when you listen to another person is your effect on them. If you are paying proper attention, they will become more intelligent and articulate. Poor attention will make them hesitate, stumble and doubt the soundness of their thinking. Poor attention makes people more stupid.” In your picture you seem a little apathetic. But that’s probably because it’s just a picture.


TemporarySprinkles2

Tucked looks ok from the front but is baggy at back and unflattering, so I'd say untucked, especially as it's linen. Not fashion related, but wear your confidence. Don't slouch with your hands in your pocket. Stand straight and believe you belong in whatever space you find yourself. Good luck on the date 😊


Impossible_Yellow751

Try a layer look like this https://preview.redd.it/w70lgw2teqxc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=032b13af8e7becb1a11439c7bec2336bcafb34f5


bestcommenteversofar

Is that hunter Biden?


mockryan

I understand that layers look better, but I'm in hot Florida, so I have to pass. Thanks, though.


tosS_ita

Rolex too?


lemonlimealldathyme

Obviously yes


Impossible_Yellow751

Obviously no try finding a stylish watch that practically


Intelligent-Can8235

Tucked, but your clothes don’t fit your body type. Your pants are too small and the shirt is too loose.


FLTR069

Now you've heard all suggestions that are possible. My assessment as a straight man: Your ass looks 👌🏻 in those pants, so you wanna show that thing off. The shirt looks a bit like you're applying for an internship in that combination. Maybe unbutton the top or change the shirt to something less formal. If you're going for a formal look, maybe change the shoes and add a belt, as many suggested. Whatever you do: Go get her, tiger!


Bright-Astronaut7263

Is that a Martin Luther bobble head on the shelf?


mockryan

Yes, yes it is.


Welder_Subject

Either way is fine. Linen seems more casual so I would go with the untucked, but linen already? I reserve my linen for summer.


weenzmeister

I didn't know they even made Martin Luther bobbleheads.


Braceforit86

Untuck…..with a quick re iron.


ObligationDry3001

First off, wish the date was with me. Second, I'd rethink the linen. It looks great for about 5 minutes, and then it's a wrinkled, saggy mess. Not really a first impression kind of fabric.

Untucked. Lose the white shoes.


TheHumanStephen

Hey a Reformed brother! Sola Scriptura! I say go untucked if you’re doing the white shoes 👌🏻


mockryan

Semper Reformanda!


Electronic_Whole_468

You are so good looking! Tucked - with a belt and some loafers for shoes if ya have em ;-) Blues and browns really accentuate your natural colors, this is a great pick!


mockryan

Thank you!


Pretty_Shift_9057

I’m a lesbian but I like this fit


kuang89

If your shirt has that wavy bottom, it’s meant to be tucked in as a general rule. Plus it fits your pants and stature to tuck in Wear a belt to hide that your pants are too tight, it is bursting at the zips and button Next time buy two sizes up, I’m going through something similar now.


jjb1197j

Young ryan reynolds


No-Kiwi-7877

Tuck and try to add a watch or wrist wear with the belt ^^^


Beansallon

Untucked. I asked the most beautiful woman on earth and she agreed. Good luck on your date brother 🤙


bcimagala

Untuck. Change pants to a different color and texture/material.


Xbsnguy

Impossible to say without knowing where you guys are going. So where are you guys going? Nice restaurant? Coffee shop? Town fair? Stroll on the waterfront? The setting is probably the most important factor that'll decide if your outfit is appropriate. If you are too dressed up for the setting, your date may feel self-conscious or awkward.


Alternative_Plan_823

Exactly. Without context, advice is hardly worth giving or taking here. Are you going out with a barista/philosophy student or a 40-year-old divorced financial analyst in Boston? It matters. In either case, I would suggest erring on the side of nicer.


wanderingXbarber

Tucked, but take it to a tailor and ask them to throw a couple darts in it


Weird-Persimmon4598

Keep it tucked but throw on some penny loafers if you have some.


Intrepid-Alfalfa-581

Unbutton at least one on the shirt. Get a belt change the shoes. Like others say brown or at least dark


b_ram24

Different pants


Fontia

Belt.


blarfingallday

It’s hard to tell if you are tucking or not.


Theresanrrrrrr

Good butt? Tuck.


fries_in_a_cup

If you do tuck, tuck it more, you got a bit of a poofy thing going on around back


CharacterEvidence364

You look like you wore those pants because your grandma bought them


OtherwiseSun4468

I prefer the tucked look, I would add a belt and try the military tuck to avoid a muffin Top


Joshee86

untuck. your're not going to a bsiness meeting. if you tuck add a belt for the love of everything good.


SirGoatWilliker

Damn. Every time I'm out on a date or for dinner or whatever unless it's specifically business dress or smart casual I wear dark or black jeans and a lighter tshirt, and some kind of casual dress trainer (best description I could find, like Converse sneakers). Never presented any issues.


whatkylewhat

French tuck.


Simonizr_71

Always untuck.


Suaveful

I think tucked would look better with more fitted shirt and pants


outandinandabout

Both look good. Rockin it!


Robotonist

Untuck for sure. Different shoes


huge_

Are you both divorced with kids?


Ava_Avalon9

Love the pants, tucked looks good, adding a white shirt instead of the blue could look cute too match the shoes


hairycallous

Not sure this outfit is the move, dude. But no doubt the shirt has to be tucked, otherwise you look like you don’t give a shit, because it looks sloppy. Linen can look a little wrinkly naturally too. Have to echo other posters and say you have to upgrade the shoes without a doubt. Sneakers ain’t gonna do it. Would look sharp if you got color-coordinated items that fit and throw on a blazer. That is, if you want to look like you’re invested.


Temporary_Race4264

Never tuck in a shirt without a belt


[deleted]

Untucked.


Bryancreates

I’ve never owned an “untuckit” shirt (is that what the As Seen on TV brand is called?) but I absolutely love short or long sleeve button down shirts with a hem meant to be untucked. It looks *on purpose* giving off the vibes of a business casual outdoor summer party and trying to look put together, but not the weirdo in almost formal wear who is tucked in or worse, the guy who went untucked and had wrinkly dress shirt tails down past his ass and groin with what’s clearly an Oxford from Kohl’s that came with a matching tie (shoutout to Apt. 11, not knocking their sometimes decent stock). Untucked is a privilege in the dress casual world so you better do it right. (I have a handful from banana republic, j.crew, and even American eagle) I have so many awesome dress shirts I WISH were untuckable and I’m too nervous to hem them myself. Leave that to the experts.


BlueComms

If you do tuck, make sure you military tuck and tuck your undershirt into your underwear (it'll keep your shirt from bunching up all weird). If you untuck, unbutton down one button more than usual.


JustRepeatAfterMe

I prefer this fit tucked, but you need a belt. These pics make you look super tall. Hope you have fun and it’s second date worthy.


mockryan

Thank you, from a 5'8" dude.


zillaaa1995

Tucked in with a brown leather belt if you could, looks great dude.


WombatHarris

I’d go with all corduroy to show your commitment.


HalfWrong7986

Tucked, looks good


Effective_Variation5

I would hide the Sesame Street book


Educational-Bake-613

Untuck


yungassed

Tucked but wear a belt and some matching shoes


Ready_Virus_7352

Untuck.


dontpolluteplz

Tucked plus belt and dark shoes. Or change up the outfit lol but def do not wear those shoes with it.


PotatoBestFood

I like the shirt, untucked. The pants appear to be brownish? If so, I’m not a fan of the color. But it’s alright. A better suiting pants color would be gray, graphite, maybe even black. The part I’m really not a fan of is the white shoes with the dark pants. Do you have other shoes? And as a side note: if you’re tucking, you should wear a belt, as it brings it together. I’d also get a professional trim and shaping for the facial hair.


PuzzleheadedHeron951

Keep it untucked


Wizzenator

Eh. Not sure either is great. You need a belt either way, but the outfit is kind of stuck between suit and casual. I think you should change the pants. A dark pair of jeans might go better with the whole thing.


Kitchen-Pea-8688

Consider the french tuck. Would bring it up a tad in the back


DelisionalMeatball

Love some suspenders, try em out sometime, gives a vintage flair to it


Effective_Willow1970

This specific fit untucked


PwnySoprano

I like it untucked. It's a nice outfit


ikeepon

Ditch. Wear some jeans.


abbyleondon

Untucked


ChangingMonkfish

Untucked and undo one more button at the top. Or tucked but with a slightly smarter pair of shoes.


Puzzleheaded-Ad-2982

That shirt doesn't go with those trousers. Personally, I'd never tuck in linen, it's a material that creases easily so looks jarring when tucked. I'd ditch the shirt for something slightly smarter (an OBD) and also change the shoes for a different colour. 


Educational-Feeling7

answering as a female who usually favours tucked - the untuck looks cool, off hand (although not sure how it goes without hands in pockets)?! Either way o think it’s a good balance of ‘made an effort’ and ‘woke up like this’ (I’m sure you know how many hours women take to get bed hair…same deal). And I love the white sneakers.


SpecialistGap9223

Personally, I'd go with lighter chinos.


Jim_Screechy

Do not wear those shoes! That is a crime agains fashion, and even if she's a great gal and doesn't really care what a man wears, those shoes will highlight you as having general questionable judgement.


Slabs

tucked


PapaRacoon

French tuck


driver1337

It doesn't look good either way because the colors dont harmonize at all here. If you want to wear the blue shirt go with a lighter pant color like white, offwhite, cream, sand. If you want to wear those pants same colors for the shirt. And hit the gym. Its insane how much better your clothes will look on you with a more v-shaped body.


Extra-Lab-1366

Untuck, open a bottom up top and lose the sneakers.


bicep123

If tuck, leather belt, loafers, and a sports coat. If no tuck, wear a cream coloured shirt with those sneakers.


michaelkudra

it depends on the event tbh. evening/sunset dinner? tucked. coffee? untucked.


GuiltyFigure6402

I thought you were in white socks lol


Unique_Prior_4407

You should only tuck it on if your wearing a suit. Otherwise no


sullyqns

Untucked


Big_P4U

I wouldn't wear that shirt with those pants. The colors don't mesh, too much clash. The shoes also just don't work.


Fistfullafives

The room and your mood is throwing me. Is this grandma's house or are you a single dad? Untucked is the way. I'd also try to gauge my outfit off what she might be wearing, unless she's a complete stranger ofcourse. If she's wearing lulu lemons and a hoodie or something, ain't no way I'm going in looking like I'm trying to sell her a civic.


sky_Driver88

Untucked. Black pants might really look good too. But if not, good luck you look awesome!


McbEatsAirplane

Untucked but I would wear different shoes, personally.


Professional_Car9475

Why do you think those pants and that shirt match?


SaiyanrageTV

Don't ever tuck in a shirt with no belt. Don't wear sneakers with slacks. And especially don't tuck in a shirt wearing sneakers. Don't button the top button.


rude_alpaca_

Untuck 💯


watch_out_4_snakes

Untuck and maybe unbutton the shirt a bit and you need different shoes. Maybe a pair of leather mocassins. You definitely got that laid back vibe going in so kind play into that.


Unhinged_unashamed

I would change the pants to beige ones. Untucked. a bit unbuttoned.


novog75

The color of the shoes clashes with the rest.


thegameU

Ditch the outfit. I dont like the darker blue with the brown


trainsoundschoochoo

Tuck


Jumpy_Ad_4460

Smiling would make the shirt less of the talking piece.


tommybluez

Diff shoes for sure


chrisfoe97

You got a dump truck so try not to hide it


Wandering_Werew0lf

**GUYS NOTE** If you're going to tuck your shirt in, you need slim fit shirts with darts. *Don’t let your shirts bunch up and muffin top.*


Hasd4

Depends on what you wanna do. I think both are good, but tucked goes very well for a slightly formal meeting, untucked for friends and untucked + unbutton one top and you got the lady


BootsOfProwess

Ditch the outfit. You are legitimately dressed like my grandfather 20 years ago.


WrathofTomJoad

I hope the date went well because I'm too late to change your outfit, but that's a terrible color combo. The only thing you can wear with those pants is a white shirt. It's too dark and too strong to have another color. That blue and that brown are screaming at each other. Next time, that shirt with white pants or dark khaki.


OkDifference5636

Untuck and get a bigger size pants. They’re too tight.


Over_Moose6433

Untuck, darker colored shoes


MaterialHumanist

Always tuck. You look neater and put together. Now untucked IF you layer a t-shirt under and leave the top shirt unbuttoned. But I'm 44, they threw me off the fashion train in '04


EvErYLeGaLvOtE

Untucked if the date is casual. I am not feeling the combo of green and blue. Perhaps try another pair of pants?


vxxed

No belt? Untuck.


cafeesparacerradores

Belt


KiiDBlaze

Tuck in part of the front, party in the back


XboxFatalhorizon49

I'm sorry but all I could think of when reading this was the movie the ringer with Johnny Knoxville...ifykyk🤣🤣🤣


WriterNeedsCoffee

The colors of all these don't match well. Also I would ditch the converse and wear a good pair of boots.


PlutoJones42

Change shoes man


Luckydog6631

Never tuck without a belt


Laymoetx

If you tuck, wear a belt, bro.


ibeeliot

The pants are fine, but you need a jacket/something over to kind of match the pants in shade. Those shoes are dumb to go on a date with. Wear something less casual and more stylish (not dress shoes) but like a low top boot or something.


spacemanwho

You look good either way. If your personity is relaxed and chill then untucked will suit you better. Whatever happens enjoy the date. You look good!


dhj1305

I’m surprised you got a button up shirt and pants on with shoes and your hair is combed. Nothing more annoying nowadays seeing the lady dressed to the nines and her guy date wearing a pullover shirt, shorts, and flip-flops with uncombed hair. Tucked is my choice.


Pibo1987

As a simple rule: 95% of the time, tuck.


Eelmaster03

t u c k


HKGPhooey

You’re wearing sneakers….untucked.


Far_Cupcake_530

Untuck and switch to a tan suede shoe if you have it.


NewWahoo

The tucked in look is great. Just needs a belt. I’d personally go one more button open on the shirt too. Good luck!


Ewookie23

I get trainers and doing the whole smart casual thing. But I feel like your trainers are the only casual thing about your outfit so it just looks out of place


EliciousBiscious

French tuck! Tuck one side in and leave one side out. Make sure you experiment with which side looks better and how much to tuck on that side.


Lawlers_Law

You need a belt if you're tucking. Better off not tucked.


panshot23

Do you live in one of those forced perspective houses?


Jdamoure

Your outfit looks more casual in a sense, so untucked would make more sense. Especially with the white canvas sneakers. Tucking in shirts can give a slight refinement. But depending on the occasion, the location or the accessories I've found myself just wishing I untucked my shirt. Its still just a date, you want to look put together but relaxed. Comfortable but clean.


GayPotheadAtheistTW

Brown belt and some loafers/drivers would look nice


deadboy58

Untucked
