It’s a question that has plagued us for many winters: How on earth are all those stylish people tucking massive jumpers into their skirts without looking like they have a lumpy butt?
The good news is that we’re not alone in this wondering. The better news is that finally, a fashion blogger has revealed the truth.
Let us explain.
Earlier this week BuzzFeed writer Sam Reece tweeted: ‘Hey boss sorry I’m 3 hours late I was trying to figure out how influencers tuck giant sweaters into tiny skirts.’
Clearly people ~related~ to this important query, as that tweet was retweeted over 24,000 times.

It turns out that influencers and other stylish types don’t own magical skirts that make knitwear disappear – there’s a simple way to cheat your way to making a jumper look like it’s tucked into a skirt.
You can even use the trick when wearing a jumper over a dress, to make it look like you’re actually wearing a skirt. Such deception.
Fashion blogger Jess With Less revealed that she does a faux-tuck, using a skinny belt and pulling the jumper almost all the way through it to make it fold up and stay in place.
The video guide is at the top of this article, but if you prefer to read instructions rather than watching them, here are the steps:
- Find a thin belt that it a similar color to the jumper you want to ‘tuck’
- Put on the belt around your waist, at the same height as you want the sweater to look as though it’s been tucked in
- Tighten the belt over your knit – ensuring you still have room to breathe
- Pull up the jumper under the belt so that just an inch or so of fabric remains below the belt
- Fold the rest of the jumper over the top of the belt to conceal it
FYI, Sam Reece has said she doesn’t approve of this method, because ‘belts are dumb’. Fair.
So if you want a different technique, your best bet is not tucking in all of your jumper all the way around.
Try just tucking in the very bottom of your jumper right in the centre of your waist, allowing the jumper to fold to look tucked with the rest hanging loose. This will provide a little definition without requiring a load of fabric lying flat under another bit of fabric.
You could also just get a cropped jumper. Just saying.
