    Liam,

    I agree with you on this one. If it can't be seen then it isn't there.

    I would say it's a matter of personal preference. Traditionally you would not wear a belt with a jacket, but depending on your tastes you could go either way. I always wear my belt with my kilt simply because I can keep my whisky flask tucked in the belt.

    I wear a belt with my kilt only when not wearing a vest or coat, I do however wear a belt with trousers when wearing a vest and or coat, but that is because I don't have suspenders.

    If you're wearing it because you've lost weight, a few minutes with a needle and thread (going all the way through the stabilizer!!!!) will add buttons for suspenders which hide well beneath a waistcoat or jumper, and to a slightly lesser extent, under a jacket too.

    Belted or Not

    The variety demonstrated in all the photos within this thread just go to show that there are no hard and fast rules. As such, there is very little the "Kilt Kops" have on us.
    I do hold to certain length conventions but rules? ... Nah.

    I wear a belt (plate generally) with my tartan kilts. I also wear a sporran with my kilts. (I know we have some here who never wear them)

    All that being said; with formal wear I try to stick to conventions out of respect for the host or occasion.

    You are indeed correct, "there are no hard and fast rules," but there are certainly conventions for certain situations.
