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!

[@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. 👍

[@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!

[@lc224]

I especially like the side tuck. It doesn't cause a little bump by your belly and is graceful.

[@bapanana1]

Thank you for this excellent video! I'm a short waisted "fluffy" 60 yr old woman and my shirts are always too long and shapeless. This is brilliant! I especially appreciated that you showed how to do it with a button shirt and a t shirt! Merci beaucoup! ❤

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Glad it was helpful 😃

[@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.

[@NatalieEa100]

Like the elastic band trick! x

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@emilyevans6989]

I love this video! The tricks and ideas for the tuck are brilliant. Most of all, thank you, Marie-Anne. I appreciate your lighthearted spirit, and I really needed the “relax a bit” pep talk. You made my entire day! 🌻

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

[@dorashizas6890]

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

[@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 !!

[@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).

[@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.

[@moiracarlo1657]

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

[@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. 👏👏👏😁

[@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!

Simple little tricks make quite a difference, the tuck and an elastic band. Helpful tips, more of these, Anne Marie, please. Merci and have a lovely day.

[@carolalaimo-tosca8357]

Thanks for this great video! I often draw a blank when trying to figure out how to wear the same clothes differently! Love the freedom and stressless attitude!!!!❤️

[@jamesolson7179]

I like the French tuck because it shows off the belt Im wearing and looks more interesting when Im wearing just a plain T shirt.

[@mieczyslawapascoe7234]

Another 'way'. Thank you, Marie Anne. I love 'ways' because ways of wearing clothes dress you as much (if not more) as clothes themselves. ❤️

[@gerrysavery8082]

I had fun watching your video. You looked like you had fun making your video for us too! Before your video, I was a little too formal in making my French tuck. I will be more loosened up and carefree the next time I do my French tuck because of you. Merci beaucoup.

[@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! 😊

[@merryk6766]

fabulous video and great tips, thanks Marie-Anne

[@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:)

[@2000disneyland]

I finally did my first tuck, and liked the way it looked.

[@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.

[@shannonjohnson567]

Appreciate this video Marie -Anne; especially the extra examples at the end! I need to practice this as I feel un-natural

[@kimreed4388]

I needed this last night. I messed and messed with my T-shirt and skirt until I changed my mind! Thank you so much!

[@lovemyshipoo]

Thank you for the rubber band trick! Because I am larger busted buying a t-shirt that allowed plenty of room in the bust...made it way big at the bottom hemline. I tried tucking a corner here and there...never could get it to look nice. I tried the rubber band....GREAT! It looked neatly tucked and that little "tail" stays tucked. Thanks!💕💐

I have been doing the French tuck for a long time; I love the relaxed chic look :) I feel that I look more feminine as it emphasizes my waist. I prefer a belt on myself and I usually do a front French tuck, but I'm going to play with it on the side as well. Thanks Marie-Anne for another great instructional video and for your humor which makes me laugh!!!

Such a difference to do a tuck - really emphasizes femininity

[@evanicander2023]

I have a bigger tummy and it gets less obvious when i tuck in big, rather long shirts; either on both sides or on one, or in the back. It has helped me very much to look better. I am greatful I tried it after a tip. Also a rubberband or knot in the front is helpful.

[@pilarguerrero12874]

I like the tuck in front for me, such a simple and stylish way. Thanks a lot!

[@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

[@tiffanyoneill90]

I am so glad you made this video, Marie-Anne. I tried and tried, but I was not getting this quite right because I wasn't rolling the edges. I think this is a great example of classic French style incorporating a trend. One funny anecdote--If I wear black and white I always wear black on top because Jackie O.--my other style Icon--says the other way makes one look like a waiter! LOL. You look perfectly chic, as always.

@@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!

Marie-Anne Lecoeur tried the french tuck T-shirt with an over shirt as a jacket. Later I tied the over shirt in a knot at the bottom for a different look later in the day to save going home for a quick change. Felt very confident and think I will do this more often. Thanks for the tip 🥰

[@alanasmith2492]

I’ve been doing this for years and never knew what it was called! It just kind of developed naturally for me. I like to wear more fitted jeans with looser shirts and sweaters, so everything isn’t tight on my body. People in the US think my shirt is coming untucked and I say, “Oh no! That’s deliberate!” Love to pair it with a statement belt and a pair of ballet flats or loafers.

[@alanasmith2492]

Marie-Anne Lecoeur Thank you!! ❤️

[@cherylsykes660]

Good advice for the not really French, French Tuck. 😉 I either tuck in my tops fully and wear a belt, or French tuck on the right side. As a petite, with long torso, and short legs, this seems to give better proportion to my frame.
