I bought some Paraboot fisherman’s sandals a couple of years back so, now warmer weather is upon us, I may attempt the polo shirt tucked in to madras shorts with *white socks and sandals* look. I would need to wear my baseball cap with polar bear logo on it so that people would know that I was being ironic, as opposed to just being a plonker.

I follow the basic rule: if the shirt has a straight hem, like a Pendleton Board shirt or shirtjac then you wear it untucked, likewise some popovers have a poncho hem, which again isn’t to be tucked in. Anything else really should be tucked in as unless it’s a modern cut which is short in the body - usually the hem drops way too low to have stylistic credibility. I do stand by the caveat that a popover with a regular hem can look ok but again not if too long.
