Has anyone else worn braces (or suspenders) with a kilt ? I have. A few times when I lost weight and my kilt wouldn't stay up on it's own and once last Christmas on a kilt I got off ebay, which although should have been my size is in fact a bit big (I'm going up to Scotland this summer and will get it altered). The braces/suspenders work well in fact as they stop the kilt slipping down and maintain it at the right hight (I'm on the large side and don't have hips to hang my kilt or trousers on). In fact in Victorian times everyone wore braces on their kilts. Many of the old kilts have braces buttons on them and a famous old picture shows Highland soldiers loading cargo onto ships during hot weather and having removed their jackets are all wearing braces.
