Shirts In or Out

[Iolaus]

Why should women have all the fun with fashion and leave men with drab colors and staid looks.

That's, almost word-for-word, what Hamish told me, when I was just getting started back on the UK group,

What a memory! You might well be right, Iolaus, but I am sure I would never, ever have recommended that you should dress in a sloppy or untidy manner!!!

I like andyfg's son's "out" look. I don't think it looks tacky or unkempt, I think it is casual. Although when I dress casual I tend to tuck the shirt behind the sporran a bit.

My kilts are all tranditional height, which looks great for formal occasions, but in the Midsweat, I like to have a bit more breeze through my shirt. If I wear my kilts at the proper height, and tuck a T-shirt in, I think it looks goofy. Imagine pants up to the armpits look. My kilts are about 3 inches above Richland's on my waist.

The conversation was about color, not style. I believe the context was that you were answering my comment about prefering blacks and browns as a color scheme, rather than the bright modern colors so often seen.

This was back when I had just discovered UKs, and was trying to figure out how to "dress it up;" I hadn't yet accepted the posibility of wearing a tartan because of the aformentioned preference. I still feel that way; the only tartans I have are the Nightstalker and the Weathered Lamont, but I'm thinking about others.
