Today Style - Perhaps most dress codes should say "shirt tuck required."
After all, research conducted by Fruit of the Loom in 2015 revealed that men who tuck their shirts in at work make more money than those who don't. And we're not talking mere pennies: The average salary for tuckers was $77,886 versus $65,578 for the non-tuckers. The survey also found that tuckers are happier at work and more optimistic about the future.
That $65K average salary for non-tuckers has to be inflated by NBA players. Because people who don't tuck in their shirt are slobs who have given up on life and shouldn't be making more than 22K/year. Like what are you saying to yourself when you get home from work and loosen your tie and pull your shirt out of your pants? You're saying "What a day, I give up, I've had enough". Untuckers are saying that from the minute they wake up. Don't get me wrong, of course there are situations and styles that demand an untucked shirt, but I have to assume this study was done relative to conventional shirt tuck scenarios. So if you work in an office and are walking around with your shirt untucked, casual Friday or not, you're not right in the head and probably don't even realize that you're making 12K less than the tucker next to you. So of course people who tuck are happier and more optimistic. But it's not like an untucker can just start tucking and his life will change. That ship has already sailed. You don't tuck to be happy. You're already happy, so yeah, you tuck.
