Ties

The third option, as I mentioned previously, is just to tuck the whole kit-n-kaboodle into the kilt, and not worry about how long you've tied the tie. As shown below.



It's just a term we use here to differentiate between common men's clothing styles when wearing trousers and suits, as opposed to Highland (kilted) styles which follow a different set of rules. So far as I know, it's incorrect for a man wearing trousers to tuck his entire tie into his trousers. But it's done quite often with kilts.

This is the style in which I usually prefer (tucking the tie underneath the top of the kilt), yet I do not tuck the tip of my tie all of the time; it simply depends on my mood that day. Of course, a waistcoat does wonders, but simply cannot be worn all of the time due to temperature issues, i.e. - if it's too bloody hot out! By the way Tobus, your new tweed jacket looks very smart. What a lovely pattern!

I agree, Tobus has some very cool jackets!

I'm a bit 'shortwaisted' to start with, so I've been dealing with the tie issue all my adult life. And the high rise of kilts makes it worse. I also wear a lot of vintage ties, they tend to be shorter. And I have had some ties shortened over the years. I've found a couple local shops for that, but there are online places like Tiecrafters that can do it. I honestly don't really sweat the issue that much with kilts, since I seldom wear a tie without a waistcoat.
