Personally I find the Kilt belt useful for two reasons. First off for those of us who need them, it's the best place to clip your cell phone if you ask me.

But the most important reason for the kilt belt is the visual clue afforded by the belt. As a society we've grown accustomed to the presence of the belt as the transition point from lower body to upper body garment. Going without a belt is more relaxed.

So when I look at myself in a kilt without a belt I see a person ready for relaxation, maybe a few beers, and a good night in front of the TV watching a game or some really bad movie.

On the other hand, when I see myself in a kilt with my kilt belt on, I see a person who is ready for company or business. It just looks more put together in my opinion.

Oh, and I just thought of one more thing. For the vain among us a kilt belt can also hide the kilt straps so no one can tell that the buckle is straining at the absolutely last hole!

Just kidding. In truth, even though my kilt belt provides absolutely no useful purpose except when I'm not wearing a coat or jacket and need a place to keep my cell phone. I don't wear it through the belt loops and it does nothing to hold up my kilt. But without it the kilt just doesn't look right to me.

I guess I'm a rank traditionalist.
