    T-Shirts with kilts - to tuck or not to tuck ?

    Is there a preference to tucking your t-shirt in or not when dressed in casual kilt style ?

    I did at first and still do on very rare occasion but in general I can't be bothered. I never tucked in a t shirt with shorts or pants either.

    Since T shirts are quite non traditional with kilts or anything else, I think you make your own norms.

    With a modern utility style kilt with a pants waist I tend to go untucked as that's how I wear one with jeans, with a natural waisted tartan kilt I am always tucked, I wear a sporran with my traditional kilts and having a t shirt hanging down to the top of my sporran to my eyes looks a bit disheveled.

    For me, polos are usually tucked but t-shirts are either way.

    It all depends on the activity for me. I usually tuck my t-shirt in though.

    Since I have always worn a belt with my pants, I never liked the feel of the buckle on my skin so I tucked my shirts no matter if it was a tshirt or a dress shirt, and the habit stuck. I tuck.

    Less chafing and more definition to the body shape when tucked. (That's they way I wear mine).

    I'm new to kilt wearing and have always gone tucked in with my shirts, be they polo, tee or tradional shirts (sleeves rolled up!). I think it looks smarter and neater - but that's just me I guess.

    Tasty Rabbit, I have seen both tucked in and out.. I think it looks good either way..A dress shirt I would say tuck it in..A T or a Polo/collar shirt can do both..I don't tuck my T in for one reason they are cotton/spandex mix that are form fitting which I like, but still has give not to be tight. My husband doesn't tuck in his T in shorts ('still working on him wearing a kilt ) Wear them how u would with shorts or pants.. Experiment w the shirts.. Good luck ... Angie
