When you wear a suit, you wear either a belt or braces to keep your trousers up. A kilt should not need a belt to keep it up. The belt is actually a "dirk belt" and properly is worn with that purpose in mind. Most people today, though, wear a belt with the kilt for ornamentation.. When one wears a belt with a waistcoat, the only acceptable way to do so is to wear the belt over the waistcoat. When worn under, the buckle pokes out from underneath the waistcoat and looks quite odd.
