So apparently this is a big question in my profession. Dress in jeans for work. Do you tuck your shirt in?

Never. I don't tuck anything into jeans. It looks stupid.

Responses:

Polos: No. Long sleeve button down shirts/flannel: Yes. Short sleeve button down: Don't wear those. Ever. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 08:03
Depends on the shirt and the jeans. I have some combinations that look better tucked. -- nm - mafic Jan 21, 07:31
Jeans at work? How old are you? -- nm - Spawndroid Jan 21, 07:29
no. don't tuck into jeans. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 07:28
I tuck my inner shirt in, but often not my outer shirt -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 07:27 3
- But, I also rarely button up the outer shirt, owing to how it would cover up my awesome graphic tees -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 07:28 2
  - and Berry's a 12 yo apparently -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:32 1
    - Well duh -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 07:32
My suggestion - tuck it in, but wear a sweater over the shirt -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 07:27 4
- Sweater-vest right? Man those are so cool -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:29
- Then pull up a rocking chair and get out your whittling stick. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 07:27 2
  - And I was expecting jokes about looking too preppy -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 08:09
  - *snort* -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 07:28
So you are just talking about a Polo shirt? Because a button up shirt not tucked in would look lame -- nm - amoxy Jan 21, 07:26 1
- ok grandpa -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:27
tuck it in hippie (per Ty's explanation below. Untucked is unprofessional regardless of pants imo) -- nm* - Beaker Jan 21, 07:24 1
- you're old too -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:26
I don't like shirts tucked into jeans, but if it's the workplace (and not like some tech startup) I think you have to tuck in - ty97 Jan 21, 07:23 7
- you're old -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:24 6
  - truth -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 07:35
  - so would likely be most of the clients an accountant would be meeting -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 07:25 1
    - You have to assume no client meetings because you would dress up for those. -- nm - spamlet Jan 21, 07:30
  - and horrible at fashion -- nm - Bacon Jan 21, 07:25 2
    - untruth. - ty97 Jan 21, 07:35 1
      - We need to give you a makeover -- nm - Bacon Jan 21, 07:37
god no -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 07:22
Nope. I'm with you and I never tuck anything into jeans. -- nm - Krusty Jan 21, 07:22
depends on the shirt... -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 07:20 4
- znufriis are weird -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:21 3
  - it's actually a question that's relevant to my interests, as my new job is casual attire. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 07:25 1
    - We're jeans at least for this year so relevant to me as well. - spamlet Jan 21, 07:31
  - But correct in this instance. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 21, 07:24
accountants are weird -- nm - decline Jan 21, 07:20 1
- They're accountants, not fashionistas, don't confuse them. -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 07:22
