To create a better join if the sweater is baggy... Ironically enough not as much of a problem with the tighter fitting NATO style...
Maybr tucking the sweater might be better if it's baggy and worn with a kilt??...

I don't know about of the rest of you but I almost need to wear a belt of some sort, due to all the things that hang from my belt every time I leave the house. I have the phone in a belt case on one side then there is the multi-tool and belt ring to hang my keys from. Unlike some people I need all my keys every day. As for the phone, yes it is a modern smart phone, and it is absolutely needed every day as well. The multi-tool, not so much, but every time I have left the house without it I have regretted it. It would require a huge sporran to carry all of that plus wallet, business card case, and change purse as well. So, yes I wear a belt, but not necessarily on top, I have no problem with the belt and belt stuff being concealed under my sweater or jacket.
Just my two cents worth.

I, too, always wear a belt with my kilt because (1) I use sporran hangers (although I'm thinking of trying out a strap to see if I like that better) and need the belt and (2) I like the way the kilt looks with a belt.
On the occasions I've had where I can wear a sweater (yes, occasions do arise where a sweater is desirable - it's in the 50s F today for example) I wear it on top no different that if I'd had on slacks.
Just my two cents worth.

I think that the style of the garment needs to be taken into account as to how it is worn.
When wearing a military 'wullipulli' - then I just have to find my old webbing belt and polish the brass - they are military surplus and come with the knowing of how these things should be done.
With a lightweight knitted the kilt goes over the top. I think that looks best, particularly if it is made with very little ease and with the ribbing at the waist.
With a textured Arran type knitted, definitely over the top with the welt pulled up to the waist - bloused is the term - if the ribbing is strained or would interfere with the sporran. A moment before the mirror should assist in the decision about a belt or not.
The long hot summer has allowed wee beasties to wreak absolute havoc amongst my knitted garments, so I have a lot of darning or remaking to do and I have bought a load of linen yarn to make things anew - they can try eating that and see how they like it.
