    Untucked and unrolled. I always wear a belt, like I do when wearings trousers and sweaters.

    If you tuck a heavy sweater into a kilt, you have an enormous amount of material tight around your waistline. Uncomfortable, and even in cold weather rather warm. If the sweater is outside, at least it can move freely as you do.

    I agree. Sweaters with kilts? Yes, I have several Arrans in differing patterns and colours which I always wear untucked and unrolled. If you think your sweater is too long and needs rolling maybe it is too long anyway!

    Sweaters tucked into kilts, or trousers, look dreadful to my sensitive eyes!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Being from Florida and needing a sweater is rare , though once or twice a year I do wear one, I never tuck it in and always wear a belt, both{2} are different shades of green, and light weight too.

    ditto on every point including looking 'dreadful' although, my eyes may not be as sensitive as Hamish's.

    You beat me to that one! I only have one sweater, and it never gets tucked in. I do have 2 hockey jerseys, though- and they never get tucked in, either. There is a lot of material there!

    I never thought of that! I just wear the best because I need somewhere to attach my belt pouch, sporran, and key fob.
