On the other hand, if it's cold outside, tuck it in to retain that body heat! The second question you should ask yourself is: who will you be with or likely to bump into?
Even if it's not a work event, are you likely to run into clients? Or will you be around your friends, grilling out and having fun?

Think about the occasion carefully ahead of time, and the people you will be spending time with, and adjust your look accordingly. You also need to consider what you plan to wear your shirt with.

The shirt itself must also be taken into consideration. A quick tip for you: a shirt is meant to be worn untucked if its hem at the bottom is completely straight. If it isn't in any way straight that is to say: the hem is curved and ranges in length, instead of being straight all the way around , then you should always tuck it in. If you leave it out in this instance, it makes you look untidy and like a teen rebel at high school defying the rules of uniform.
