It’s been a rough week at work so I wore these trousers. I needed a little break.

What are everyone's thoughts about tucking a sweater/jumper into one's trousers when worn under a jacket (as in AAS's photo)? For a thin, almost shirt-like rollneck sweater, I can definitely see that it works. But for thicker sweaters that are meant to be worn over a shirt (rather than in lieu of a shirt), it sometimes looks rather odd to me.

That's a nice looking suit. Would you mind sharing the fabric?

Looks bad. Reminds me of fighters in the Spanish Civil War or the French Resistance:

I'm curious - what's wrong with that?

However virtuous their cause, they were mostly a sloppy lot.
For some reason, I retain a vast number of historical images,
and especially details of clothes, so whenever I see a example
like the sweater in the pants, I recall my initial impression, which
in this case, is not an upper class Englishman from the 30s who
also did this with "jumpers" but a poor guerrilla with a rifle.

I would agree in general with you, a thin knit looks better than a thick one. I like as it looks in AAS's outfits, who seems to have done of it his signature. I think that having a flat stomach is crucial for a pleasant look. I'd say it's a bit old fashion, rarely seen nowadays.

Yes of course, i suppose you mean Franquists and Nazis had a much cleaner look.

I do both. With many more modern sweaters you almost have to tuck, fold, or roll because they are super long especially with higher waisted bottoms. I even have a longer torso and it is too much. More vintage regular size sweaters were at 24-25 inches in length and new versions are in the 27-29 range which is ridiculous.

Hits the nail on the head!

My situation is even worse. I have a short torso (24in sweaters are perfect).

The only sweaters that fit me properly (where the hem ends at the belt line) are by Rubato and a couple of vintage sweaters.

I personally think @An Acute Style pretty much always looks good with his sweater tucked in. This is not true for me.

BTW, The Knitweardoctor in LA can shorten hems, but it's not cheap.

This looks really good to me. One of your best outfits.

A couple of outfits I wore at Pitti Uomo. Despite the exuberance of the fair and the week as a whole, I was keen to remain on-brand, as it were.
