> For some inexplicable reason, women’s shirts are really short, and it’s hard to keep them in place. I’ve been wearing a lot of men’s shirts since the pandemic, and one benefit is that i can tuck them in and they stay tucked.

I always thought the short shirt barely covering the torso was more of a problem in the 2000s compared to the present. I also think the low rise pants contributed to more exposed midriff.

Nowadays its mostly oversized shirts with high rise or mid rise pants.
