    I sometimes wear my shirt tails out when going casual, as long as the shirt's not too long. I think this look (from a commonly seen ad) is OK:

    This is the sort of look I was thinking about.

    I guess everyone has a different idea of what casual means to them.

    shirttails

    I like looking good. However, wearing the shirttail in or out seems to me to be a matter of shirt design. If it is deigned to be tucked in, I do. Any otherwise to me allows for the option in/out. Some casual shirts looks absolutelty awful if tucked in. So, I don't tuck them in. Now with some of my casual kilts, for instance, my UK Desert Camo, I don't tuck the shirttail in. It seems somehow wrong to put a shirt under the belt of such an excellent stealth garment! BTW, if I'm going to be doing any military like activities, a different set of uniform wear rules automatically take over.
    Now, my real point, my opinion about what you look like as you wear your clothing, kilt or otherwise, is meaningless to you. You are the only one whom will dress you in the morning. It's your waist that gets the kilt wrapped around it. You're the Klingon. You're your own man. Wear it to suit you.
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    I was thinking the same thing. For example, I have a nice short sleeve button-down linen shirt that is not designed to be tucked into pants. I think it looks great with my kilt and would look foolish tucked in. I guess it’s just going to be a matter of the shirt and the occasion.

    Welcome, cbiegel, to the heart of the free, the brave, the individual. It's for you and all like you here and elsewhere and myself that freedom exists. "To tuck, or not to tuck, here in the waistline. Whether 'tis neater is for ones self to wearout or some other to badger me with a smelly opinion!"

    leave it out if that's how you usually wear your clothes. unless i'm going to something more formal (ie. with a button up shirt) i never tuck. if you want the kilt to be your "street clothes" wear it like you wear your "street clothes". if i felt compelled to tuck it in i wouldn't wear it very often. it may not look as nice and neat, but then i'm not really a nice and neat kind of guy. keep it casual if that's your thing.
