First Kilt Pictures

[Panache]

The length of the kilt and belt are both fine. The belt you have is a perfect daywear belt. The fancy buckles (generally rectangular) are really supposed to be for formal occassions. The trend in recent years has brought them to be used for daywear.

My only suggestion is to buy either a leather sporran strap or pick up a slim woman's black belt (with a small inconspicuous buckle) and replace the chain strap. Chain straps will abraid your front apron over time and they are for formal wear.

Looking very good! Welcome to the wonderful weird world of kilting!

I agree with the others. The kilt length looks good. Belt is fine appears to be around 2"? With your proportions you might consider a wider belt later on but as Panache said, the rectangular buckles are really not intended for day wear if that's what you meant by "proper" kilt belt. The sporran could be a smidgen lower but it doesn't look out of place. My rule of thumb is that the sporran should be high enough so it doesn't bounce off my thighs when I walk and low enough so it doesn't rub against the belt (usually about 1 hand width or less). A bit more slack in the sporran strap would make it all more comfortable so I'd make that my first purchase. Being able to easily swing the sporran around to the side or get it on and off is a great thing when using for daily wear.

Congrats, looking good!
