Sweaters: In or out?

[James MacMillan]

Seems like this came up before and the people who said never in, didn't have the same definition of sweater that I did.

For me, if it's a big bulky sweater it's out - if it's a thin sweater it in.

After Jamie said never in, and I found a picture of him with a sweater tucked in, he said it wasn't a sweater, it was a shirt...

I'm not sure what picture you are referring to?

Well for starters - this one shows a tucked in sweater.

Wow, that looks like a sweater tucked in to me as well

If it's chilly or cold and I am going to be outside, especially if the sweater is on the thin side, I might wear it inside the kilt for warmth.

If I am going to be moving from outside to inside a lot, or expect the weather to change or don't know what it will do, it would make more sense to wear it outside, since I might want to take it off at some point, though as mentioned sometimes there is a problem with the sweater bunching up over the sporran, if it is a long sweater.

Also, there may be aesthetical considerations. If you have a favorite long sweater and are wearing a short jacket over it, it wouldn't make sense to have the sweater hanging down below the jacket.

For me there are too many variables for a hard and fast rule. I don't think I matters very much. I have never heard anyone express an opinion. But then I don't get out much.

Actually that is a ribbed turtleneck shirt from the Gap (I happen to be wearing its green mate right now. I know other people are more relaxed about this, but unless it is a Hawaiian shirt I always tuck in my shirts be I wearing pants or a kilt.

I am very fond of this picture and wear this outfit often.

Personally, I think that turtleneck shirts and kilts go to gether like Gin and Tonic water.

and look how wrong it looks (even thought it looks like a ribbed lightweight turtleneck to me, not a sweater). People learn as they go. I wasn't always as devastatingly handsome as I today, as I have learned my style as I go. I have been on this forum for 4 years and I can guarantee that my style and opinions on kilts and styles has changed.

Down here in the "lower 48" we call those things turtle-neck sweaters.

Like I said, some people have different definitions for sweaters than I do. -And I stick by my rules - thin in, thick out.

Sorry, I am thinking of a light shirt turtle neck not a sweater. Either way, it's a moot point. That picture is how old? Jamie what is that 2 years ago maybe. My point was that opinions and knowledge change with experience and time.

But I agree, heavy= out. Light= It would depend on the sweater and the style. I'm not a big fan of tucked in anything and usually only do so with dress shirts.
