Fashion term knuck describes tucking jeans into boots
A new fashion trend called the knuck involves tucking trouser legs partially into boots.
Definition of the style
The term knuck combines the words knee and tuck to describe a specific way of wearing trousers. This look requires leaving some fabric hanging over the top of footwear rather than tucking the entire leg inside.
Historical examples cited
Reporters note that Sienna Miller wore this style in the 2000s and Diana, Princess of Wales did so in the 1980s. Several buccaneers also adopted this method for wearing trousers during the 1650s.
Correct execution details
Experts warn that tucking the whole trouser leg creates a pirate appearance while insufficient tucking looks floppy. Achieving the right balance prevents the wearer from becoming a laughing stock.
