Is it my imagination or are they making shirts shorter and shorter so that you can no longer tuck the bottom inside your pants? Are they doing this to save fabric? Is this the modern style, to let your shirt tail hang outside your pants?
 
I think the rule is if the shirt has v cuts on both sides you hang it outside if not you tuck it in

If you are talking about dress shirts, yes many are being made now to be worn untucked. There are still shirts made to be worn tucked, with a longer tail. You basically have a choice when you buy a shirt which way you intend to wear it.

I buy both. I have shirts to wear with a suit and tie that are made enough to be tucked, and shorter ones that I wear untucked, without a tie, over jeans.

If you wear the long shirts untucked over jeans they hang way down and look stupid. If you wear the short ones with a suit they come untucked, so know what you plan to use the shirt for when you buy and talk to you salesperson about your planned use in selecting a shirt.
 
Thanks guys. This is important to know. I have noticed a trend to untucked shirts. Even worse, I notice some shirts have NO POCKETS.
 
There are short shirts to wear untucked; google it. Longer dress shirts to stay tucked in.
My favourite shirt maker Thomas Pink actually makes 3 lengths, short, long and regular which is versatile tucked in or not.
 
The worst combination is short shirts with low hanging trousers. I can't get that horrible image out of my mind.
