Indeed. I don't deny the utilitarian purpose of the braces AND kilt... But I do maintain that to my eye, it just doesn't look right... Call it personal preference if you will, but if I were to require a belt (for suspending dirks and cellphone cases, or doohickies), I'd probably omit the braces... And if I needed the braces in order to not scare the ladies when my kilt hits the floor because it's too big, then I suppose I would either omit the dirk and doohickies, or simply reconsider my choice of wardrobe for the day...
