I wear one, it looks good with my kilt and the celtic knotwork buckle cements that it is in fact a kilt, and that I'm not some 'fruit in a skirt' (a common occurrence in this area). I've tried going out sans belt and it just doesn't 'feel' right. I've worn a belt most of my life so maybe that's where that comes from. I also find that because I've had this belt for about 8 years, and that it is now formed to my body, it helps to provide a certain shaping where needed. Nothing special, just a 1.5 inch black basketweave belt (police standard).
