Sweater Vest Tucked In or Not?

[Spc. Scott]

I leave my sweaters out as well. But if you like them tucked I say go for it.

Actually there is one outfit that requires that the sweater vest be worn tucked in to the pants (to show off the braces)

That made my morning thanks for reminding me of that Jamie.

I don't know that I'd say that all sweaters must be left out. It depends on the sweater. For instance, I have a couple light-weight, body-hugging (more or less), turtleneck sweaters in wool/wool blends that I prefer to wear tucked in with a belt. But a bulky jumper or a sweater-vest I would probably wear on the outside. Whether or not I wore a belt with that would depend on whether I thought I might take the sweater off at some point during the day.

Regards,
Rex.

I wear a sweater vest untucked and no belt.

My 1st thought was not tucked as well.

Why don't you try both and choose what YOU like best? (or post pictures of both and get thoughts from the rabble)

Remember - There are no rules!!

Personally my rule of thumb is a sweater is left un-tucked, and there is no need fro a belt underneath, it just adds unwanted bulk. Of course as others have said it does really depend on the how bulky the sweater is, I have been known to wear a mock neck type sweater tucked in. So to make a long story short, it really is up to you.

I'm an un-tucker but a tucked in sweater vest is a very 1920's - 1930's fashion forward look.

In regards to tucking or not, sometimes you don't have a choice. One of the pipe bands I'm a member of has a winter uniform consisting of commando-type sweater and underlying turtleneck, all of which gets tucked into the kilt, in addition to any undershirts, thermals, underarmor etc being worn, I'm sometimes hard pressed to even buckle the kilt. The belt and sporran chain have to be adjusted as well, I personally have multiple belt setups depending on which uniform in which band I'm wearing.
Untucked is not an option, we wear horsehair sporrans with no pouch so have to wear a summons pouch to carry essentials on our belt, plus some members being firefighters feel the need to carry multiple cell phones, radios and water bottle carriers, so if untucked we look, well, lumpy.

I don't wear sweater vests, but if I did, I would leave it untucked and go sans belt.

Shirt-tail in; sweater out.
