Abstract: An apparel securing mechanism anchors upper body clothing to lower body clothing to preserve a neat appearance of a wearer. An anchor mechanism anchors an upper body clothing and conceals an apparel securing mechanism within the upper body clothing. A locking retainer tube removably engages the anchor tab. An anchor outer casing affixes to and substantially surrounds the locking retainer tube. The anchor outer casing and the locking retainer tube may be surrounded by the shirt-weight fabric. An engaging clip forms a concealed and firm anchoring with the anchor mechanism. A belt ledge grabbing channel firmly positions the engaging clip in fixed association with the lower body clothing. The engaging clip and the anchor mechanism fixedly associate the upper body clothing with the lower body clothing while being concealed by the upper body clothing and the lower body clothing to preserve a neat appearance of a wearer.
