How to Put on Shirt Stays

Shirt stays are really simple and comfortable to wear. An extra 30 seconds to put on a set of shirt stays will keep you looking neat and tucked all day. Take a look at our shirt stay tutorial or follow our guide for the quickest way to put on shirt stays.

Check out this quick video to learn how:

Open the buckle and slide to lengthen.

Slide the black button down to open the grip.

Pinch shirt tail between the button and grip. Slide to secure.

Attach to shirt and socks running along the outside of each leg.

Once both sides are attached, slide adjuster to a comfortable length. These don't need to be SUPER tight. They should provide just enough tension to keep your shirt gently pulled down when standing up straight.

Not comfortable? Try adjusting where you clip the shirt stays to your shirt. We recommend by the hip and back of you leg.

Keeps socks up, keeps shirt tucked, but shirt WILL loosen when you move around

The fabric of your shirts and socks WILL matter--if they are cheaper / thinner materials, they could rip. Mine didn't, but I can tell the clasps but stress on my clothes. Socks definitely stay up! (at an angle, obviously, but you can't tell when the top of the sock is covered by pants). Shirts stay tucked in. If you stretch your arms up, the shirt will come loose--not as loose as without these, but DON'T expect your shirt to stay exactly as-is when you first put them on. I didn't mind the way it looked when loosened--I liked it, actually--but if you're hoping that there will be crisp clean lines no matter how you move, I can't say these will achieve that. I was worried about chaffing when I first put them on, but no chaffing (YAY). I tuned them out fairly soon, but if you're on the more-sensitive side (skin, stimulation, etc)--may want to consider different options. I consistently felt as though something was in my pockets--but no, just the straps under my pants. I'm an NB-F at 5ft 4.5in, and these were fairly easy to adjust. They could easily be adjust for much-shorter-people AND much-taller-people alike. The straps are stretchy, too, so even when fully extended--you still have wiggle room. BEST PART: going to the bathroom is so much faster. You don't have to re-tuck your shirt at ALL, and it's a very (VERY) minimal amount of time to re-adjust once your pants are back up. I'm talking less than 7 seconds to make everything look nice. This alone is my favorite aspect of these, and the precise reason I'll recommend them to everyone. (Although I'm considering looking at 3-shirt-clasps + 1-sock, or 1-shirt + 1-sock clasps to see if those options would reduce the amount of loosening that happens when you move around). The time saved getting out of the bathroom is a game changer for me. 9/10 recommend, and if you don't mind a little loosening-of-the-shirt-when-you-move: 10/10.

Work well

Bought these for my son to wear with his dress shirts and they were easy to use and comfortable.

Bought it for work. Super worth it

Literally exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.

Overall a Solid Product.

I've been wearing these for a few weeks now and I have overall enjoyed their usefulness. My only complaint is the metal parts on the clasps dig into the meat of my leg when setting down. This was fixed using Gorilla Tape around the metal clasps once the right length was set. They tend to become uncomfortable after prolonged use, especially around the calves, so I tend to shift them around a lot after wearing them for many hours.
The rubber grips that attach to your shirt/sock work well and keep the shirt tucked in when walking, sitting, standing, etc. Over all a well developed product that doesn't trace much at all even with fitted trousers.

It’s kept me confident

I’m truly satisfied with the item I bought and delivery. I can trust and rely on Amazon with peace. Thank you.
