Hey everyone! Today I’m so excited to share a post I’ve been meaning to write for months now. It’s something I’ve always casually been able to do that I realized a lot of people are immediately adept at figuring out! The main point of my blog is to help + educate, so here we go. Today I’m sharing How to Tuck Bulky Sweaters Into Skirts!
This was a request I got from some of you guys a few months back, so I’m late, but here to help! It’ll still be cool in most places for a few months, so I don’t think it’s too late at all. In this post, I’ll be be sharing how I tuck my bulky sweaters into my skirts! I’ll also share some of my fav sweaters + skirts of the season for you to shop and try out this trick on your own.

How to Tuck Bulky Sweaters Into Skirts
Okay so the technical term for this is a French tuck (thanks Tan), but I do a sort of variation since sweaters are bulkier than an average tee or dress shirt. I’ve also see people tuck their sweaters into their bras and this actually works too if you were wondering (LOL). I just prefer this method! It’s quick, easy, and give you the look you’re aiming for.
1. Grab the Bulky Edge of Your Sweater
Some sweaters might not be as bulky, but grab the bottom edge anyway! As you can see in my image, there’s a tighter knit at the bottom that’s a bit thinner than the rest of the sweater. That’s the part that you’ll want to hold! It’s the easiest part to flip under, and will allow you to tuck without creating extra bulk.
2. Fold it Under in the Center
You want to make sure you’re only tucking the front, middle section of your sweater. If you tuck the sides too, you’ll end up having wayyy too much bulk and it won’t be flattering! It also makes it easier to layer a coat over it. My sweater basically had an automatic guide, and I tried to just tuck in the middle pattern of the sweater!
3. Tuck it Into Your Skirt
The last part is the easiest part! You then just tuck it into your skirt or pair of pants. I find this look generally works well for skirts, but even better for pants! Jeans are already kind of bulky in that area and they also are made to hold things in (if they’re high waisted). This technique is great for either!

Below you’ll see how the end result of this look turned out! I honestly bought this look on a whim, but I’m so glad that I did. I loved the lilac on lilac on lilac aesthetic and you guys loved it too when I originally shared it! Everything in this look I got at Target and it was under $50 total which is a STEAL. I wanted to also share some bulky sweaters + skirts to shop in this section of my post for you to shop. See them below:

![Bake Bread With Me Using My KitchenAid® Enameled Cast Iron 6 Qt. Dutch Oven! 🥖#KitchenAidAmbassador [ad]
Head over to my stories (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰) to see why I love this dutch oven so much! Find it today at @potsandpans_com!
𝓘𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓮𝓭𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓼:
✅ 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 100 degrees F)
✅ 1 packet yeast (active dry, instant, or quick rise)
✅ 1/2 tablespoon fine grain salt (preferably NOT iodized)
✅ 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour, plus more for dusting
𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓹𝓼:
1️⃣ Mix together the warm water (1.5 cups), yeast (2.25 teaspoons), and table salt (1/2 tablespoon), until yeast and salt are dissolved.
2️⃣ Add the flour (3.25 cups) to the bowl all at once and stir until a sticky dough forms.
3️⃣ Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel (or place the container to the lid on ajar). Leave for 2-3 hours to rise (prove) in a somewhat warm place.
4️⃣ 30 minutes before you are ready to bake, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Place your KitchenAid Dutch oven in the oven, with the lid ON, while the oven is preheating. Once the oven reaches 450, keep it preheating for another 20 minutes, so the Dutch oven gets hot.
5️⃣ Scrape the dough into the edge of a piece of parchment paper dusted with flour.
6️⃣ Take out the preheated Dutch oven and take off the lid, carefully! Grab the parchment from the sides and place the loaf in your Dutch oven.
7️⃣ Place the cover back on the Dutch oven and place in the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake for 35 minutes at 450 degrees F.
8️⃣ Remove the lid and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until a golden brown color forms.
