Sweaters: In or out?

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

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

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.

Iremember being on the west coast of Scotland and picking up a hitchhiker. He was a real highlander. He was wearing boots and his sweater tucked in. So, I kind of took notice from that example.

On the other hand, I remember the lead singer from haircut 100 wearing his sweater tucked into his trousers and thinking that looked pretty odd to me. That comment dates me.
