try joining the navy, i promise they will teach you how. 
in any case, as per bluejackets manual or whatever. (and my recollection might be a bit foggy.)
tuck the shirt in, line up the seam with the seam on your pants/jeans/trousers...... now for the important part. gather the excess material in the area around the small of your back.
that keeps the front smooth.
try watching "jag" sometime. |

You are supposed to have wrinkles around the waist, but that is fine as long as the wrinkles stay BELOW the waist and you can regularly get the shirt dry-cleaned and/or ironed. |

so youre the tool that looks like a walking wrinkle...thx...you may wanna pay attention here..
What in god's name are you talking about? Man, if you don't know how to tuck a shirt in, you have worse issues than how to dress. What's next; a question on how to brush your teeth? You obviously have never "Dressed for Success"

I wear a suit every day, and can't stand the wrinkle-buldging shirt problem.
Fitted shirts (sometimes called 'athletic fit') work great, but you must have the body. They work best on thinner men, or men with thinner waists. Fat guys can forget about it.
To start with, make sure you can get shirts as close to your size as possible. Forget anything labled 'sm', 'm', 'l' etc. The shirts should be in 'inch' size, like 16 1/2 x 35. As well, try to find shirts that are by the inch (34, 35, 36, etc) as opposed to 32/33 or 34/35. These are cheaper shirts, and will not be made carefully with regard to size. And get yourself measured by a tailor.
Then, if you have the bucks - you can go for custom made shirts. These are the way to go, but will cost you 5 or 6 times the price of an off-the-shelf model. You can also possible find a good tailor who will alter your shirts for you. This will cost only slightly less. |

| I wear custom made shirts. I also have Ralph Lauren Purple Label dress shirts, Zegna dress shirts, etc...maybe im confusing some folks. I know how to take a shirt and tuck it into my suit pants. That isnt my issue...its one step further. Sometimes, even with a nice $295 shirt that fits flawlessly, it just doesnt sit right. Im 6'3" 220, pretty broad shouldered with a 38 waist. 17.5x36 shirt, unless with french cuffs - then a 35" sleeve. If I just put the shirt into the pants, the fabric sometimes looks like i did just that - stuffed it into my pants.
cocothebean had it pegged but am looking for some more detail. Thanks. |

Only tuck in button up shirts.
If you tuck in a t-shirt, it just looks stupid. You might as well wear a mullet. |

I regularly push my hands into my pockets and find the hem of the shirt that's tucked into my pants, I'll pull the shirt down from inside my pockets to keep the front smooth looking around the belt line. I'm not sure if it's the right way, someone told me that the little holes above the pockets on tuxedo pants where the adjustable waistband is was there for this reason.
It doesn't sound like you are worried about wrinkles as much as you are folds of fabric from bunching below your belt. Either you need fitted clothing or you need to hide the bunches somewhere less noticeable. |
