(Video) Sweater tucking guide

different ways to tuck a sweater

Sweater season is officially here! I’ve previously posted on styling a sweater over a dress, and in today’s reel (watch video here or scroll to the bottom of this post) I wanted to share a few more ways to style and tuck your sweaters. I love a good oversized, loose fitting knit, but depending on the outfit, a little strategic tucking can help highlight the waistline and make the overall look more flattering!

1. Back Tuck

easy ways to tuck a sweater

For a clean look across the front, knot your sweater with a hair tie in the back and either flip the “tail” up into the sweater or tuck it inside the back of your jeans. Or, I’ve seen others do this with two hair ties one on each side.

2. Twist Tuck

I’ve been doing the twist tuck a ton with my white and striped button up shirts to add a little interest, and also love it with a simple solid colored sweater!

3. Half / French Tuck

4. Belt Tuck

One of my old favorite tricks for pairing a sweater with a dress or skirt!

5. Bra Band Tuck

See the full outfit here. I love this trick when wearing extra chunky knits that will leave lumps and bumps if I tuck it in regularly. Note however that this method does not work with my beloved Neiwai bras that are super stretchy without a defined band. It requires a more firm band like a regular bra band with clasp back or a fitted sports bra with an elastic band.

6. The Cardigan Tuck
