As far as I am concerned, the only required accoutrement I have to have when I wear a kilt is a sporran. Everything else is up to how I feel that day. I may wear boots with kilt socks and garter ties, I may wear boots with boot socks, or kilt socks with black oxfords scrunched down, with the socks up and garter ties. For shirts, t-shirts when casual, I hate polos and don't own any. If it's cold, a sweater. Some times I wear a belt sometimes not. Like I said. It's all up to how I feel that day.
But all this is me. Wear what you want. As long as you're comfortable and don't have to steel yourself to walk out of the house you're good. Yes, there is a place and a time for tradition and formality but every day is not it and a casual kilt isn't appropriate for it anyway, so don't worry about it.
There are many great suggestions for cheap sporrans. You really need somewhere to keep your keys and phone and wallet etc.
My casual look includes black boots,sporran,no belt (don't need one) and a T-shirt or polo. This is what I like to wear to work. Here is a pic of me at work today in fact. My boss loves it and encourages it,no problem. When I'm on the town I usually dress up a bit more.
