when to wear a belt and when not to

[MacEanruig]

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.
