Which shirt stays should I choose?
Every shirt stay does the same job: it keeps your shirt tucked and smooth. They differ in where they grip and how firmly. This table will help you find yours.
| Type | Hold | Comfort | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
Thigh stays | Strong | High | Office, all day |
Y-style | Strong | Medium | Uniforms, ceremonies |
Straight | Medium | High | Everyday |
Stirrup | Strong | Medium | Long hours standing |
Tuck belt | Light | High | Discreet wear, women |
Tips
- Adjust the length so the strap is gently taut. If it pulls, it's too short.
- Clip the very edge of your shirt, not seams or buttons.
- If you wear a shirt all day, alternate between stays and a tuck belt for extra comfort.
