You can also buy 'clips' that attach to your socks and your shirt to keep it held down. I forget what they're called, but I want to get some someday.

Shirt Garters

Yeah, definitely go with the slim fits if you have some muscle on you

Nicer dress pants have small holes in the front pockets so that you can pull your shirt down easily. Upgrade your pants.

But then it looks like you're playing pocket pool . Worse than just jammin your hand down the front and pulling down the tails.

My shirts always do the same, and it drives me nuts .

I have cousins in the military who have to wear those with their dress uniforms. Apparently if one of the clips lets go of your sock, you'd better be wearing a cup.

Although I don't like Alfani shirts, they make them fitted around the waist

Just be discrete about it..don't stand up in front of a meeting to pull down your shirt tails...

More or less it's when the shirt starts to become slightly untucked.

I untuck them on purpose (they are still tucked in, but untucked beyond the bubble point). I do it enough that the bubble is eliminated. Am I the height of fashion? No. But I can lead a normal everyday life and look fine. With fully tucked in shirts you can't lift your arms without some part somewhere coming untucked. Who wants to live life without raising their arms or doing anything practical?
