Leaving aside the military, why would you ever think wearing a belt over a pullover necessary, or indeed that it looked good?

A lot of 'female' fashions are often much older men's fashions that get feminised - things like frock style coats with frills and such like. Even barbour jackets with sleeves rolled up etc...

My Irish fisherman's knit sweater has a reasonably looser weave than a military-style wooly pully, and I would be worried about having the belt buckle catch the sweater, even for a belt with no sharp edges. I would opt for wearing the sweater without a belt for this reason alone. Additionally, my mother knitted it for me and it is not replaceable. Just my opinion on the subject, mind you.

I think beltless and sweater over kilt would be the way to go. Just like if one were wearing trousers.
Wearing the sweater over the kilt had a practical aspect to it as well. What if you go inside a well heated house and need to remove it?

I wear sweaters with the kilt quite often. Sometimes thinner cashmere or cotton, sometimes sweater vests, but if it's cold nothing feels so good as thick wool over a wool kilt. As I use sporran hangers, I forego the wide and large buckle kilt belt and just use my hangers on a standard 1-1.5 inch jeans belt. It doesn't print and it works well.

No, but as I have learned since being on this board, my first instincts are not always correct or acceptable, being more safe then looking like a fool...CHEERS...

To create a better join if the sweater is baggy... Ironically enough not as much of a problem with the tighter fitting NATO style...
Maybr tucking the sweater might be better if it's baggy and worn with a kilt??...

I don't know about of the rest of you but I almost need to wear a belt of some sort, due to all the things that hang from my belt every time I leave the house. I have the phone in a belt case on one side then there is the multi-tool and belt ring to hang my keys from. Unlike some people I need all my keys every day. As for the phone, yes it is a modern smart phone, and it is absolutely needed every day as well. The multi-tool, not so much, but every time I have left the house without it I have regretted it. It would require a huge sporran to carry all of that plus wallet, business card case, and change purse as well. So, yes I wear a belt, but not necessarily on top, I have no problem with the belt and belt stuff being concealed under my sweater or jacket.
Just my two cents worth.
