Just a thought... How about a white sporran belt?

The only sporran I would think would work would be a horsehair sporran which is of course a military sporran, otherwise I just do not see it working.

I've never seen a white kilt belt, but Penny's of Thunder Bay sells a white military sporran and strap. See it here: http://pennys.ca/purses.php

I don't think it would look good, but it might also go with one of those Saltire sporrans (which I don't care for in the first place).

I've seen it done with a doublet, horsehair sporran, boots, and spat.
Think British Redcoat

Darling, don't you know that you just can't wear white after Labor Day?!

Thanks fellas, I was more or less just curious if anybody would wear them. I know that the 48th Highlanders of Toronto used to wear a white sporran belt with a black horsehair sporran with white bells, they seem to only be worn with the spats as well. I have pictures of my great grandfather wearing that sporran which i will try to find and post up here. But thanks again for the feedback.

Or navy after memorial day -- as per US Navy in the days of round shot, rammers and wooden sailing ships, when I was on active duty.

I agree with most of the posts here; I wouldn't wear it. The last time I did was with a white sporran, sporran belt and spats, and that was part of a military uniform. I can't picture it as part of any other outfit.

Just to be different : yes, I do wear a white belt, as it happens.

I have a very light-coloured kilt, Glen Mor tartan, for summer wear, and when I came across a an off-white leather belt in the market, it seemed the obvious thing to complement the kilt.

There is nothing special about it, but I think it looks much better than a black or brown one would with this tartan. I don't bother with a sporran, though if I found one that matched, I might be tempted.
