I like your style Marie-Anne, but I greatly appreciate your humor!

[@joannekerr8839]

"Who says you can't do that ... ?" - I laughed out loud! You make elegant dressing relaxed and fun - thank you , Marie-Anne.

[@annem3354]

You have the fun, silly, sense of humor that I love, while giving such helpful advice!

[@ewapaulinska267]

You made me laugh today. You made me relax just from you joking about it

[@rknrlgrl6146]

Gave me laugh too 😂 Especially when you were mimicking...fun video!

[@bobbiodonnell4568]

Marie-Anne, you make fashion fun not to be taken so seriously. The rubber band tip was genius. I tried it on the side; such a difference. Thank you!

[@Jen7867]

Oh my goodness! I never thought to use a rubber band. Then you don't have to keep fixing it. What a great idea. 👍

[@NatalieEa100]

Like the elastic band trick! x

[@sulemagarza9484]

Love the french tuck. Even though I am 68, I still do it!

[@californiaglo9666]

I have never had a waist, even when I was skinny. I loved the side tuck with the elastic band. That will be my new look. I find clothing companies made shirts too long. This tuck will look better.

[@Jen7867]

I can relate to this because my waist is short, so I always prefer how I look with my shirts tucked in.

[@gretchensmith3981]

Also, I loved the real life examples. And merci for the cafe!!!

[@moidutoiphotography8427]

Oh my word! You made me laugh so much this episode, thank you for all your advice and the effort you put into your channel, it is such a gift to us all. Xxx

[@marialicemorgan19]

Me too

[@carolspears8339]

I have my ten year old granddaughter with me today. She is wearing a tank top with a French tuck! I asked her if she knew what that was called, she replied "it's a French tuck"! We live on Vancouver Island on the west side of Canada.

[@mj_dolman5122]

Thank you Marie-Anne for making this technique easy and fun. I normally wear my shirts untucked because I feel that a full tuck looks awkward with my short torso and big bottom, and also because I prefer a more relaxed look. However some shirts just don't look that good untucked! The french tuck looks like the perfect compromise. I love the way it creates a more flattering soft line instead of a straight line across the hips. It looks like it is probably flattering for all types of figures!

[@dorashizas6890]

The different tucks were great and your impressions were so funny 😆 🥰

[@MsBackstager]

Not overthinking things = just my style.

[@dulcielong4679]

Marie-Ann, you make French chic look so easy! Thank you!

[@b.p.4250]

From someone who lives in the US, where they love to overthink fashion, (someone is gonna tell me "Oh honey your shirt came untucked!") thank you for reminding us that this stuff is supposed to be relaxed and fun! 😃 I am going to try that idea with the rubber band to keep things in place!

[@mkim4091]

Martine Shamzin, Although it's been a trend the last 10 yrs I still get reminded my shirt is undone/untucked especially the side tuck.

[@b.p.4250]

@@mkim4091 Same here, not by men, but by women of the fussy overthinking school of dressing- the ones who would notice your bag and shoes don't match! 🤪

[@gretchensmith3981]

Great video!! Very entertaining; i was laughing at your imitations!!

[@lucyharris1973]

I love your 'spying' on the street :) For me the French tuck really works with skinny/slim jeans and wide shirts/blouses. Love it!

[@susanthoms6268]

The styling ideas are great but the sense of humor is even better. I laughed all the way through this demonstration. I particularly like the use of the rubber band. Genius.

[@user-zp8sk2rc4m]

As always, I come for the fantastic tips and your wonderful personality! Thank you, Marie-Anne. P.S. Those teal, black and silver heels are gorgeous! :)

[@madisonutube3524]

You know I never knew this was a “thing” or French for that matter. I see people with this half tuck and tried to do myself but it looked dorky. After watching you, I’m like ok, this could work if you just relax about it. So thank you for making it fun and easy for us. Another great video. I could never tuck my shirt in before until I lost weight. So now this is very relevant to me. 👏👏👏😁

[@Moluccan56]

You make me giggle! I really need the diversion you provide us. I work in health care and I am on the verge of tears every day when I come home. Thank you. Life does not always have to be so serious.

[@arlenesmillie2993]

I'm so excited to have found you. I'm a 55yr old empty nestor and have been trying to find ways to style my closet at my age. You're an amazing, confident woman, I love this channel thank you for sharing your awesome advice.

Bonjour Marie-Anne! You are delightful!! Also, I would LOVE to see more "real life" examples! It was so fun to see! You looked beautiful, as always!

[@moiracarlo1657]

Love the French tuck style! Glad you're able to enjoy the cafe again!

[@attilathehen1555]

I like to tuck a shirt or tee shirt in right at the outer side of my waist because it indicates my legs are longer (I’m only just over 5 ft 3) but still partly conceals my tummy (of which there is more than I would like).

[@reginabethp.moreno9402]

Thanks for the reminder - don’t sweat it out. Dressing up should be fun!

[@charliefoxtrotindigo6793]

I’m really happy to have found this video. I was totally confused by the whole French tuck look, couldn’t figure out how to do it at all without looking like a small boy who had been to the loo and was in a hurry to go back out to play! I’m afraid that’s still what comes to mind first, particularly the shirt with one corner out and one tucked in, but I’ve discovered that I really like it with some of my thinner jumpers and proper high waisted trousers. You’ve given me some ideas here, I’ll keep experimenting! 😊

[@cactusrose9601]

Your video taught me to exhale and made me smile!

[@cindihunter9119]

You are stunning! Love your elegant relaxed style! ♥️

[@kathleenreynolds4158]

Marie-Anne you are funny 😁 I think you enjoyed doing the video, as you could relax and do something different. You never cease to amaze me with the ideas you come up for each new video. Keep them coming !!

[@yemiao7191]

Bonjour Marie-Anne, I really love your fashion attitude and life philosophy. To me, the French chic essence is all about dressing up your inner confidence with clothes/accessories of fine quality and elegant design. I wish to be as fit and elegant as you when I turn 40 something. Greetings from Nanjing, China:)

[@zoraidarodriguez1761]

Bonjour Marie Anne, very nice. Loved seeing examples. Please do some on how to wear t-shirts with skirts. Merci 😘🌹

[@Vegavis]

Thank you, I needed this!

[@markmooney5662]

Now I have stopped laughing I will admit I was getting a bit ' messed up' about this tucking in business.... no longer !!!. I will French tuck without concern from now on.... I find it useful to hang my 'sunnys' on my belt loop when I am shopping ( i have to wear reading glasses) thank you and God bless . Gilly xxx

J’adore! 👔👍 Merci Marie-Anne! 😘

[@themultilingualfamilyhub]

Before watching your video, I would just tuck in the front and leave it like that without rolling the fabric in - that's why it always looked just messy rather than chic LOL Thanks for the tutorial!! Super helpful x

@@MarieAnneLecoeur ☺ also, I have a very similar shirt☺. It doesn't have pockets. But other than, almost the same. It has the darts which I think are so important the silhouette. And the checks are on the diagonal on the placket, as it is on your shirt. The cuffs are also made with the checks on the diagonal. I love those little details!

[@tamiewert808]

I love your style and your humour!!! I smile the whole time watching the video!!😂😁💗 I love the French tuck, but I do overthink it, and feel like I don't have the confidence or maybe my petite pear figure doesn't suit the tuck, I can never be sure! I think it requires the shirt to be the appropriate length or it would add excessive bulk! I enjoy the outdoor shoots!!

[@marjiecleveland]

I love how casual the look is, using an elastic band, and how it looks with a belt. I'm glad you say to relax and don't take it seriously, because sometimes I've fretted about getting it just right. I usually tuck in the middle; I didn't like how the side looked.

[@carolthomas8528]

In these days of social distancing I would love to be having that coffee with you . I have been using the elastic band idea for a few years ( when I was the only one to do it ) but I also use larger ones round my upper arms if sleeves are too long or rather loose.
