Untucked shirt

Yep, tuck 'em in and make your mama proud.

I like to dress appropriately, and I do not subscribe to the current trend that the sloppier the better. I do not think it makes me freer to look as if I just got out of bed in clothes I've worm for several days. I try to dress appropriately whether kilted, suited for court, or watching a ball game. A shirt with tie or even a tux is uncomfortable only if it doesn't fit properly.

But then I am old and old fashioned. I've seen the occassional fellow with the shirttail out look weating a kilt, and I always wanted to wash his face and tell him to tuck in his shirt.

my Opinion is if it is a button down, tuck it in...
T-Shirts are usually tucked in when wearing a Kilt, UN-tucked when wearing shorts or p@nts.
I personally think the rugby shirts look better UN-tucked, so does my wife

happy wife happy life, I follow her style guidance most of the time.

You are a wise man.

Just be careful about letting your wife dress you professionally; you are her sweetheart, and you may not benefit from looking like her sweetheart in the workplace. I'm jsut sayin'.

If I'm dressing very Casually (sneakers and a t-shirt with my kilt) and don't feel like wearing a kilt belt, I tend to un-tuck as I don't like the look of a traditional kilt up that high without a belt (unless I'm wearing a dress sporran or PC of course). I make sure the shirt is never over top of the sporran, but I do un-tuck for certain things...

Concerts (with tshirt)
Sporting Events (with team jersey)

I think it depends entirely on where you are and the situation you are in. If you are just hanging out, tuck it in. If you are out hiking and/or doing dirty work, it's ok to untuck it.

Just my 0.02

The other trend I've noticed is wearing a sports jacket with an untucked button-down shirt. This looks strange to me.

I am self-employed, and generally have to be prepared to talk business on the go. Best for me to look like I am somewhat respectable. Also spent to many years supervising construction sites and am not particularly fond of looking at 'plumbers butt'. I tend to keep 'em tucked in...

Me too. I think this trend started on the fashion runways and ended up making its way into common use with the yuppie crowd. It's usually accompanied by the "I didn't shave this morning" stubbly look and a messy bed-head hairdo.

The overall theme of this particular style is certainly odd to me. It's like a festival of contradictions. It attempts to say the person is well-off or professional, but also hip enough to be casual and a bit unkempt. Personally, it always looks to me like someone who had to rush out of a one-night stand without having the opportunity to clean himself up and get fully dressed.

I prefer my hubby with at least stubble (although I'm not really into a full-beard look for him), and I definitely prefer his curly hair grown out. Then again, I also adore the blue jeans with a nice t-shirt untucked look -- probably my favorite look of all. He loves those looks as well.

With a kilt, he tucks everything in unless it's a bulky sweater or pullover, and he doesn't like those too long or else they'd be in the way of the sporran.

Of course, if you're carrying a concealed weapon in Texas...
