Untucked

The word "untucked" describes a state where a garment, typically a shirt or blouse, is not neatly tucked into another piece of clothing, such as pants or a skirt. This signifies a casual or relaxed style. It implies a deliberate or accidental departure from a more formal, put-together appearance. The action can also refer to something that was previously held or secured in place, and has now been removed. The degree to which clothing is untucked can vary from a slight pull-out to a fully hanging garment and applies in all areas of dress.
