Shirt tucked in or out?

[Jumpmonkey]

I tend to keep it all tucked in, but there are some days, when I just want a bit of leisure in my life, and I'll opt for an untucked t-shirt and a traditional or non-traditional kilt. Don't be afraid to enjoy a bit of comfort when the mood takes you. Life can't be all tucked shirts and vests and the like.

What he said. Having spent a lot of years building theater sets, lighting them, and/or wandering about them making people wonder why I was cast, I may well focus overmuch on the visual. Though I do find (for me) that the usually rougher fabric of lower garments is less comfortable
on my waist, and I, too, am a big fan of comfort. So I tuck. And since I had to quit working, I have more leisure than funds to deal with it.

Only ever wear a proper kilt & not a util kilt but would say always tuck with a kilt. Although in my younger days when I was more high waistband concious (was shorter & had a longer kilt which was belted to reach the right above the knee length) than now with a longer shirt and a phillabeg if not wearing a waistcoat I would half tuckthe shirt with a generous overhang and then fold the overhang over, pleat each side then secure my belt over the top to hold the shirt in place making the waistline look not so high.

Had a family which was always forthcoming with advice when not wearing things correctly, but I do not recollect any comments regarding this. The effect I thought was similar to seeing a battledress blouse worn with a phillabeg.

It just looks better, especially if I have a nice belt and buckle... why hide it?

I was wearing my Utilikilt at my professional society chapter meeting with over-the-calf socks. One of the women asked me if it would be a faux pas if I didn't wear long socks. My answer was that you kind of make up your own rules wearing something that less than 1% of men are wearing. She got my point!

I am in the "always tucked" group. I do have a slight blouse where the shirt meets the kilt, but no more that an inch or less. When I wear a sweater (jumper) I pretty much do the same thing by folding under the waist band to the same length as a tucked in shirt.
I wear all my kilts at the "military waist".
