    The obvious answer, I suppose, is that the belt should be worn at "the natural waist".

    Due to the "rise" of the kilt above the natural waist, some of the kilt would be showing, unless the kilt had a very low rise, the belt was very wide, or (more likely) the wearer is wearing their kilt too low, shoved down round the hips like blue-jeans.

    Coming from traditional kilt-wearing, it would look like this, a kilt with a "rise" above the waist, and the belt worn at the waist:



    Myself, I rarely wear a belt. Usually I'm wearing a waistcoat, but even without a waistcoat the belt is unnecessary
