Tanistha, known online as @tanisthabasu, regularly shares fashion and styling tips with her 143,000 followers. 

In a recent video, the stylist shares three ways to neatly tuck your shirt or top - and they’ll help you look cinched in too. 

“Here are some dos and don’ts of tucking in your top. 

“Don’t tuck your shirt like this. Instead, tuck each end towards the opposite side for a non-bulky look. 

“Don’t tuck your top inside the skirt like this. Instead, use the hair tie method for a seamless look. 

“Take the thin end of your tee and just tuck for a cleaner look.” 

Fans loved the useful style tips, with the video gaining more than 365,000 likes. 

In the comments, Tanistha’s followers shared their thoughts on the hacks, with one writing: “

Great tips. Must try this next time.”

Another said: “Just started a new job and we gotta tuck our shirts in for work which I never do (usually looks odd on me as my proportions are whack) so thank u for this.”

 A third added: “Moral - just don't tuck normally. Everything else works.”

One follower shared her own hack, writing: “I am lazy so just use 2 safety pins to pin it to the inside of shirts.”

Although there’s another hack that fashion fan Natalia suggested - and this one will keep your t-shirt in place all day. 

During an Instagram reel, she is seen pulling each side of the T-shirt through the loops in her jeans, before tucking the excess material into her trousers.

Her followers loved it, with one writing: “"Oh that’s a good tip.”
