How does your kilted wasitline work?

[staticsan]

After a negative reaction from a relative over wearing a kilt, I starting paying more attention to how people (are depicted) wearing them. Probably not surprisingly to long-time kilt-wearers, wearing it over your shirt seems to be the standard. I think my mistake the first time I wore my MacGregor sportkilt was to leave the t-shirt on the outside...

Thus I'm expecting this poll to be biased but I gotta ask anyway. Just how do you wear it at your wasitline?

Haven't had the chance to actually put it into practise yet, but here's the theory:

Shirt always in, sweaters always out (or, if not out, than in with a good amount folded over).

It depends on how casual I want to dress, even when wearing a t-shirt, although with my button down shirts it's almost always shirt in, they're generally too long to be worn outside the waistline.

When wearing a casual kilt, it depends on what type of shirt I'm wearing. T-shirts get tucked in, jerseys or sweatshirts hang out. When wearing a more traditional kilt, ALWAYS tucked in.

Don't like to have my shirt tail out. Tuck it in whenever I wear clothes.

I've only been at this for a month or so, which means I know less than nothing at this point, but that's what seems most natural to me. I do, however, have a couple of "military" style sweaters that want to be tucked in.

Dress shirts, polos, t-shirts inside. Sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies over the kilt.

Aloha shirts over the kilt worn open with the t-shirt tucked in.

Culture bending for sure...

I should mention that for most of my life, I was taught that shirts were tucked in (to trousers). It's only in the last year or so that I've become comfortable having an untucked shirt, since for some modes of dress, this is fashionable.

Then I discovered kilts...

Ok as far as I see it Shirts Always in

Sweaters in or out depending on the weight of the sweater
I often wear a mock neck sweater tucked in, I just like the way it looks, and really its not that thick, however if Iwere wearing an aryan sweater I would leave it out.

I ALWAYS have at LEAST a t-shirt under the kilt. Depending on my level of dress and the temp, often I have on more. Unless the upper layer is only just a wee bit longer than the pants waist (not hang below my rear), I tuck it in. On my hockey jersey, for example, the lower part in lucked, while the rest hangs. To help visualize:

The navy/red/yellow stripe is just hidden from view as it hangs inside out (like the reverse of a pleat).

I do the same with sweaters and sweatshirts that "hang" to low.
